West Ham, on the other hand, has had a challenging run, managing just one win in their last three outings against Burnley, alongside a draw with Bournemouth and a loss to Liverpool.

West Ham's defensive vulnerabilities could be their undoing, especially against a team like United that consistently creates goal-scoring opportunities. A key factor to watch will be how effectively West Ham can tighten up defensively to counter Manchester United's offensive threats.
