   West Ham United v Manchester United 12:30

As we head into week seven in the Premier League things are starting to take shape at both ends of the table and we get going with a decent Saturday lunchtime match as West Ham entertain Manchester United.

After a shaky start to the season United, who are only 7th, are as big as 41.00 to win the league now, while West Ham, who sit 17th on just 4 points, are 6.50 to be relegated.

The sides played out a 0-0 draw in this fixture last season and with the Hammers holding Chelsea to that same scoreline last weekend then at 12.00 a ‘no goals’ match here might appeal to some.
In fact, West Ham haven’t scored in their last three games vs United, but on a plus have lost only one of their last four home games against the Red Devils.

The match betting looks like this – West Ham 4.50, Draw 3.75, Man Utd 1.72.

With 3 of the last 4 head-to-heads seeing UNDER 2.5 GOALS, plus 4 of the last 5 repeat fixtures also producing less than 3 goals then the 2.00 on offer here looks fair value and is certainly a bet for the shortlist.

Both teams haven’t scored in 3 of the last 4 clashes too and this is also on offer at 2.00, while it might pay to know that a massive 4 of the last 7 (57%) of recent head-to-heads ended all-square.
However, with home advantage and the fact United come into the game under a bit of pressure after a 1-1 home draw against Wolves recently then we’ll stick with this being a low-scoring game.

BEST BET: UNDER 2.5 GOALS @2.00
