Man Utd will take on West Ham in the Premier League on Thursday, 4 December, with the hosts looking to follow their win at Selhurst Park on Sunday with another three points.
West Ham will fancy their chances of picking something up from the match, though, especially given how poorly Man Utd played last time out at Old Trafford.
As part of this week's round of Premier League betting tips, check out our Man Utd vs West Ham prediction below.

Man Utd vs West Ham prediction: The hosts to win comfortably
Key Stats
- Man Utd have lost just one of their last seven Premier League matches.
- West Ham have won just one of their six Premier League away matches this season.
- Both teams have scored in five of Man Utd's last six matches.
Correct score prediction: Man Utd 3-1 West Ham
Man Utd's poor showing against Everton was an exception rather than the rule with respect to how they have got on so far this season. West Ham have been poor on the road under Nuno Espirito Santo, and this remains a difficult place to win as an away team.

Player to watch: Mason Mount
Mason Mount was the match-winner for Man Utd at Selhurst Park on Sunday, and the former Chelsea man should retain his place in the starting XI on Thursday night, as a result. Can he score in back-to-back matches for the first time since becoming a Man Utd player in 2023?
