Football – England – Premier League Betting Tips
No doubt, a relieved West Ham take on second placed Manchester United at the London Stadium after The Hammers secured their Premier League status for another season following their 2-0 win away at Leicester City on Saturday.
Manager David Moyes has done his job by saving West Ham from the drop for another season, but it remains to be seen whether he’ll be staying for the long term given that West Ham fans demand to see their side playing like Brazil every week.
The home side have registered just two wins from their last nine matches overall, but they’ve fared much better on home turf where they’ve suffered just two defeats from their last eight amidst an overall home record of 6-5-6 21/25 which includes recent wins over Watford and Southampton. Against the top six at home, West Ham hold an underwhelming record of W1 D1 L3.
Manchester United were also underwhelming on the weekend when they lost 1-0 away at Brighton who also secured their top flight status with that win, but Mourinho will be demanding a reaction from his players in this one to avoid back-to-back defeats for the first time this season.
United possess a reasonable away record which stands at 10-3-5 30/19 and although they’ll be missing striker Lukaku through injury, this provides opportunities for the likes of Rashford and Lingard to impress as Mourinho is expected to make changes after the Brighton defeat.
The visitors have also won the last three meetings between these two sides with two wins in the Premier League and a League Cup win, and United will want to make it four so they confirm their runners-up spot.
