On 2 January 2017 at 20:15 the EPL’s 20th round program will be continued by the encounter between West Ham and Manchester United in London at Olympic Stadium.
Having failed in the beginning of the season, West Ham gradually and step by step crawl out of the situation. A victory in the 18th round over Swansea 1:4 became third in a row for the Hammers and also continued their lossless series to four matches in a row. Before that, West Ham won against Hull City 1:0 and Burnley 1:0, and had a draw with Liverpool 2:2.
Manchester United at the beginning of the current championship also didn’t impress with the performance. But there’s no surprise about it, the team had another rebuilding period, which seems to be finished very-very well. The victory in the last round over Sunderland 3:1 has become fourth in a row and also increased the number of lossless matches to 11 in a row.
Manchester United are favorites of the upcoming match. In the last five encounters between the teams, Manchester United got two victories, with one victory of West Ham and the rest of the games concluded in a draw. The last time the teams met was at the end of November in an English Cup match, where Man Utd didn’t leave a single chance to the Hammers – 4:1. Mourinho’s men having had the taste of the victory wouldn’t want to stop making their fans happy.
Prediction for the match: Manchester United to win.
