Premier League on Sky Sports: Man Utd vs West Ham betting preview and tips
Manchester United return to Old Trafford on Thursday night as they bring the Premier League’s first midweek round to a close.
Ruben Amorim’s side arrive in steadier form after a turbulent start to the campaign, while West Ham make the long trip north looking to regain momentum.
Both teams have shown signs of revival in recent weeks, setting up an intriguing meeting under the lights.
Here, Sports News Blitz outlines all the best bets and key stats ahead of the clash.
The tale so far
United’s weekend comeback against Crystal Palace helped erase memories of their damaging defeat to Everton, a match they somehow lost 1-0 despite a man advantage for more than an hour.
That turnaround extended the hosts’ run to just one league loss in seven, a welcome shift after the chaos of last term’s nadir.
Amorim’s influence is beginning to take hold, bringing sharper structure and confidence to a side desperate for consistency.
West Ham, meanwhile, travel after seeing their modest resurgence halted by Liverpool’s victory at the London Stadium.
Before that setback, Nuno Espírito Santo’s men had stitched together wins over Newcastle United and Burnley and claimed a valuable point at high-flying Bournemouth.
Those results nudged the Hammers out of the bottom three, but the challenge now is proving their progress can withstand another stern test on the road.
