How to watch West Ham vs Manchester United live: stream link, TV channel, team news, prediction

Erik ten Hag will try again to keep his sinking ship afloat this weekend when Manchester United return from Istanbul and travel to London to face an also struggling West Ham United side on Sunday (10 a.m. ET).

Two consecutive wins would be a great start to an unexpected rescue mission after the Red Devils (12th place – 11 points) came from behind to beat Brentford last weekend. But to have any hope of surviving the intense, choppy seas of marquee football on the horizon, Manchester Untied will need to score some bloody goals. Only three teams have scored fewer goals in eight games than Man United (7), and these teams currently sit 18th, 17th and 19th in the Premier League table. United, for their part, are only slightly better off in 12th place with a goal difference of -2. Alejandro Garnacho has 2 goals and Bruno Fernandes has 2 assists, but no one else in the team has scored more than one goal or one assist so far.

West Ham (15th – 8 points) are off to a rather poor start themselves, with only three teams having conceded more goals than Hammer (15) in 8 games and perhaps reaching their lowest point last weekend when they were beaten 4-1 were by rivals Tottenham and star attacker Mohammed Kudus was sent off for violent behavior, which is expected to result in a lengthy ban. The defensive problems are nothing new, however, with Julen Lopetegui taking over in the summer, taking over a David Moyes-led side that conceded 74 goals in 38 games last season (fourth). Max Kilman ($51 million) and Aaron Wan-Bissaka ($19 million) were signed in a busy summer transfer window, but defensive issues still remain.

West Ham vs Manchester United prediction

Chances to score are likely to be scarce, whether due to intent and/or a lack of creativity between the teams, and West Ham don’t have the feel of a team looking to roll up their sleeves and get dirty. Despite their significant deficiencies, will and commitment are never a problem for United. West Ham 0-1 Manchester United.
