Man Utd vs West Ham prediction

Man Utd's stop-start campaign continued with a 1-2 victory away at high-flying Crystal Palace on Sunday, and Ruben Amorim will be desperately hoping his side can kick-on now and avoid any major slip-ups over the Christmas period.

West Ham, meanwhile, saw their three-game unbeaten run under Nuno Espirito Santo come to and end on Sunday with a 0-2 defeat at home to Liverpool.

The Hammers held out for an hour against the Premier League champions but in truth they offered very little at the other end.

It's difficult to know what to expect of Man Utd right now, but there are some positive signs at least. Despite the fact they are prone to the odd setback, we're just giving them the edge here against a poor West Ham side.
