West Ham is welcoming Manchester United to London Stadium in round 5 of the English Premier League. West Ham is in great form, they are still undefeated in the EPL, and they have won their first game in the Europa League earlier this week. United is also still undefeated in the EPL, they have scored 11 goals so far, but they ended up losing their Champions League game on the road.

West Ham has been in excellent goalscoring form in the EPL so far, they have scored 10 goals, and Antonio is their leading goalscorer with 4 goals and 3 assists. Unfortunately for West Ham, Antonio is suspended for this game because of the red card. West Ham was playing against Southampton on the road in the EPL last week, and they were the better team with 58% of ball possession, 3 shots on goal, 4 corner kicks, and a high 87% of the correct passes. Neither team has given any space to the other one, and this game has ended like it should have, with a draw. the final score was 0-0. West Ham has been one of the best teams in the EPL at the start of the season, but we will see if they can handle playing in the Europa League and the EPL as well.

United might have looked incredibly well in the EPL so far, but their game against Young Boys in the Champions League was just terrible. After getting ahead in the 13th minute, United has conceded a red card in the 35th minute, and that was when everything went downhill for them. United has had 46% of ball possession, 2 shots on goal, 1 corner kick, 1 big chance created, and 79% of the correct passes. Young Boys has tied the score fast, but they were struggling with scoring a second one, which they finally did in the last minute of the game after a terrible mistake from Jesse Lingard. Manchester United has lost this game 2-1. In the EPL United has scored 11 goals, and Fernandes is their leading goalscorer with 4, Greenwood added 3 goals, while Ronaldo has scored 2 times. Pogba has added an impressive 7 assists. I think we can expect a few changes in the starting lineup for this game, but United will definitely look to bounce back after that Champions League loss, and they might even take over the top of the table.

West Ham hasn’t won any of their last 3 games against United, and the trends are heavily on United’s side in this matchup. West Ham doesn’t have a lot of experience with playing in Europe and the EPL, and their top goalscorer is suspended. Sure, West Ham still has a lot of good players, but I don’t think it will be enough.
