Manchester United V West Ham: Preview, Predicted XI And Betting Odds

West Ham will be looking to get back on track against Manchester United tomorrow afternoon following their setback versus Leeds last weekend.

Manager David Moyes will know a win at Old Trafford could really aid their chances of finishing in the Champions League places this season.

The Hammers have been handed a massive fitness boost with Kurt Zouma returning to training earlier than expected after a serious hamstring injury. It would be a surprise, however, if the Frenchman is fit to start against the Red Devils.

Tomas Soucek is still feeling the effects of the virus so the Czech international may only be fit enough for the bench. Mark Noble and Angelo Ogbonna (both knee) are sidelined, while Said Benrahma is still at the African Cup of Nations.



West Ham’s Predicted XI To Face Manchester United:

Fabianski, Coufal, Dawson, Diop, Cresswell, Lanzini, Fornals, Rice, Bowen, Antonio, Vlasic

United boss Ralf Rangnick has fitness concerns over five players ahead of tomorrow’s match, while three others are also not available. Scott McTominay is a doubt with a back problem, while Jadon Sancho and Victor Lindelof are expected to be absent for personal reasons. Aaron Wan-Bissaka (illness), Luke Shaw (hamstring), Edinson Cavani (muscular) and Paul Pogba (fitness) are all ruled out, while Eric Bailly is away at AFCON.

Manchester United’s Predicted XI:

De Gea, Dalot, Varane, Maguire, Telles, Fred, Fernandes, Matic, Greenwood, Ronaldo, Elanga

The bookies have made the home side the slight favourites with William Hill pricing them at 10/11 odds-on to win. A draw is 14/5 with BetVictor while a victory for West Ham is 3/1 at Betfred.

Predicted Score – 2-2
