Key Players to watch in West Ham vs Man United

Jarrod Bowen

West Ham have had a tough 2024-25 campaign so far and will look to the senior players in the squad to get them out of it. The West Ham captain will look to lead from the front and his role becomes even more important after Kudus’ suspension.

Bowen has scored three goals and provided two assists in 10 games across competitions this season. Since arriving from Hull City in January 2020, he’s been West Ham’s main man and has registered 63 goals and 41 assists in 212 games across competitions.

Bruno Fernandes

The Manchester United captain has had a disappointing season so far just like Man United as a whole. He’s provided five assists in 12 games across competitions and has failed to score.

However, he did have a decent performance in their 2-1 win over Brentford last time out. Fernandes missed their Europa League clash against Fenerbahce midweek and will be keen to get on the pitch and try to help his side out.

Since arriving from Sporting CP in January 2020, he’s scored 79 goals and provided 71 assists in 245 games across competitions.

West Ham vs Man United Prediction

West Ham have won just three of their 10 games across competitions this season and only once in their last seven games. They were eliminated from the EFL Cup as well. The Hammers registered a good 4-1 win over Ipswich Town but then lost 4-1 against Tottenham in their last match.

Man United, meanwhile, have won just four of their 13 matches across competitions this season and just one in their last seven. Just like West Ham, the Red Devils’ last win also came last week in the Premier League as they beat Brentford 2-1. They then drew 1-1 against Fenerbahce in the UEFA Europa League.

Both sides have struggled massively this season and in recent games as well. West Ham are also missing one of their best players in Kudus but had a full week rest unlike Man United, who also have multiple injuries. Hence, the Hammers should be able to secure a narrow win.

Predicted Score: 2-1
