The West Ham vs. Manchester United match, which is part of the 35th round of the 2022/23 Premier League, takes place at 8:00 p.m. on Monday, May 7th.
Many times this season, Manchester United has shown its courage in the most difficult moments. And against the “delicious bait” West Ham, the Manchester Red Devils can very likely achieve another victory to solidify their 4th position on the Premier League standings.
Analysis of the performance of West Ham vs. Manchester United
The 0-1 loss to Brighton left Manchester United with only a 4-point lead over Liverpool in the race for a spot in the Champions League next season. This means that Erik Ten Hag’s team must win this game if they do not want to “shoot themselves in the foot” and lose their advantage to the trailing pack.
Fortunately, just when they need to win, Manchester United only have to play as visitors on the pitch of West Ham – a team that has lost all five of their recent matches in the English Premier League. Moreover, the recent form of the Hammers has been very disappointing, with 3 consecutive defeats in the last 3 rounds, leaving them 4 points away from the relegation zone.
And, at home, West Ham has not won in their last 3 matches with 2 losses and 1 draw. Notably, at home, they have only won 1/9 maximum points against the current Top 5 teams in the Premier League: losing to Newcastle and Liverpool, and drawing with Arsenal.
This is a great opportunity for the Manchester Red Devils to win all 3 points. In addition, David Moyes’ head-to-head record against Manchester United in the Premier League is also completely inferior. Specifically, he drew 2 and lost 8 games against United, including losing all 5 recent matches. If we want to witness a victory by Moyes against Manchester United, we have to go back to August 2012 when he helped Everton beat the home team at Old Trafford 1-0.
For their part, Manchester United have also had a good form in the Premier League recently. Apart from the 0-1 loss to Brighton, Ten Hag’s team has won 4 games and drawn 1 in the last 5 rounds. However, to win at West Ham, they need to play more efficiently to score goals and improve their away performance.
In fact, Manchester United have only won 2, drawn 2, and lost up to 3 games in their last 7 away matches in the English Premier League. Therefore, Ten Hag’s team needs to be very careful if they want to achieve a victory leaving London this time.
Latest information on the West Ham vs. Manchester United squad
Welcoming Manchester United, Moyes has almost a full squad. Apart from the injuries of Kurt Zouma and new signing Gianluca Scamacca – who will miss the rest of the season, West Ham will field their strongest team, especially with the presence of key players in the attack line Danny Ings, Michail Antonio, and Saïd Benrahma have contributed a total of 18 goals for West Ham in the Premier League 2022/23 season. Meanwhile, Manchester United still has no service from Van de Beek and Lisandro Martinez. Good news for the Red Devils fans in Manchester as defender Raphael Varane has recovered earlier than expected. The French player has returned to training and is likely to be registered in the matchday squad for the away game at West Ham. Scott McTominay is also expected to return after nearly a month of injury.
Therefore, Coach Ten Hag will also have a relatively strong lineup to complete the goal of winning all 3 valuable points at London Stadium this time. The expected lineups for West Ham vs MU are as follows:
West Ham (4-2-3-1): Fabianski; Coufal, Kehrer, Ogbonna, Cresswell; Downes, Paqueta; Benrahma, Fornals, Ings; Antonio.
MU (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelöf, Shaw, Dalot; Sabitzer, Casemiro; Eriksen, Rashford, Bruno; Martial.
Bet tips for West Ham vs MU:
West Ham to score in the first half: In the last 13 matches, in all 4 recent games against MU at home, West Ham has scored at least 1 goal in the first half. In addition, in the last 10 matches on all fronts, West Ham has also scored at least 1 goal in the first half in 9 matches. It is unlikely to be an exception in this match.
Rashford to score or assist: MU fans believe that their star Rashford will help the team overcome the difficulties against West Ham this time. In the Premier League 2022/23 season, the 25-year-old striker has scored 21 goals for MU, with 16 goals and 5 assists. According to Betfair, the odds of Rashford scoring or assisting in this match are quite bright, with 1 to 1.86.
Odd number of goals: In 5 out of 6 recent matches between the two teams, in 4 out of 5 recent matches of West Ham, and in 5 out of 8 recent away matches on all fronts of MU, the total number of goals is odd. It seems that this match is likely to have a similar outcome.

Many times in this season, MU has shown their resilience in the most difficult moments. And against the “delicious prey” West Ham, the Red Devils in Manchester may once again sing their victory song to consolidate their 4th place on the standings.
