Man Utd will still be buzzing from their late goal against Chelsea on Saturday to get a draw, but will face a West Ham side that have also started to find their feet after a slow start.

The Hammers saw off Bournemouth 2-0 on Monday night and that win moved the London side up to 10th in the table with 14 points.

The match betting here sees United as the clear favourites at 1.66, with the draw 4.00 and West Ham at 4.50.

This repeat game last season ended in a 1-0 win for United and that can be backed again at 8.50, while United are unbeaten in their last 14 home league games vs West Ham.

Unfortunately for the neutrals, this clash has a history of being a low-scoring affair with 7 of the last 10 repeat fixtures going Under 2.5 Goals, while 6 of the last 8 (home and away) also saw less than 3 goals scored – you can back Under 2.5 goals at 2.00.

In fact, 4 of the last 5 meetings actually went Under 1.5 Goals, which is an even better 4.00 in the betting.

Both teams found the back of the net in 10 of the last 18 meetings, which is on offer at 1.75, but it’s also worth pointing out that 30% of the last 20 head-to-heads ended in DRAWS.

It’s a clash that Man Utd rarely don’t score in – the Red Devils have netted in 24 of the last 28 meetings with West Ham and in the scoring markets Fernandes (United) is 7.00 (1st) or 3.20 (anytime), plus Rashford, who scored the only goal in this match last season, is 8.00 (1st) or 3.60 (anytime).

Overall, we can expect a tight game with West Ham hitting a bit of form, but the Hammers do seem to be winning without having played that well at the moment and Man Utd will be a lot stronger opposition than the likes of Bournemouth that they faced on Monday.

Under 2.5 goals is certainly an option, but we’ll be keeping this one simple by siding with Erik Ten Hag’s men at 1.66 to get the job done here and end the match with all three points.

BEST BET: MAN UTD TO WIN @ 1.66
