Man Utd vs West Ham betting tips and summary

Man Utd to win – in good form

Bruno Fernandes to score or assist – strong form recently

Over 2.5 cards – very strong recent trend

Man Utd will welcome West Ham to Old Trafford on Thursday night, rounding off the first batch of the 2025/26 English Premier League’s midweek fixtures.

The hosts bounced back from an embarrassing home defeat at the hands of Everton – they lost 1-0 despite playing against 10 players for over an hour – when they came from behind to defeat Crystal Palace last weekend.

That result means that it is now only one defeat in seven English Premier League matches for manager Ruben Amorim’s United side, as they continue their resurgence off the back of their worst-ever English Premier League season last year.

West Ham will make the journey to the North West after an upturn in form, except for last weekend’s home loss to the reigning English Premier League Champions Liverpool.

Manager Nuno Espirito Santo’s side won consecutive matches over Newcastle and Burnley, before drawing away to high-flying Bournemouth, before that loss last weekend – three results that saw them climb out of the bottom three in the English Premier League table.

What are the best bets for Man Utd vs West Ham?

Man Utd to win 

The hosts have won four of their six English Premier League home matches so far this season, whilst West Ham have won only once on the road.

Bruno Fernandes to score or assist

As Man Utd’s captain and talisman, the Portugal midfielder seems to be involved in every match one way or another.

He picked up two assists in last weekend’s win over Crystal Palace, which made it five assists in his last six English Premier League matches.

Over 2.5 cards 

This selection has landed in four of Man Utd’s last five English Premier League matches and in all five of West Ham’s latest matches in the same competition.
