West Ham United
West Ham United travelled to face Burnley on Saturday and beat their neighbours in the standings 2:0. It was a hugely important win, as they managed to drag a direct rival from the bottom three even deeper into trouble, while also cutting the gap to safety in 17th place. It is also worth noting that West Ham United have won three of their last four league matches, losing only to Chelsea — and that defeat came at Chelsea’s ground (2:3). There is a downside too: the home side have already conceded 48 goals, which is just one fewer than Burnley, who have the worst defensive record in the division.
- At least three goals have been scored in six of the last seven West Ham United Premier League matches.
- Both teams to score has landed in four of West Ham United’s last five league games.

West Ham United vs Manchester United: Match Prediction
West Ham United have improved noticeably over the last month: the long-awaited wins have arrived, and they have gradually moved closer to safety in 17th place. Success during this stretch has been driven by the high-scoring football the club have started to produce. The home side have found the net in each of the last five league rounds, and in the last four they have scored at least twice.
We expect the hosts to get on the scoresheet again this time. After all, West Ham United have scored in 12 of their last 16 home Premier League matches. However, the team have also conceded in each of their last 17 home league games. Meanwhile, the visitors come into this one on a 13-match scoring run in the league. But Manchester United have also conceded in 15 of their last 19 Premier League matches.
Prediction: Both teams to score – Yes
