West Ham United host Manchester United and they are the two in-form sides in the Premier League. The Hammers are up to fifth in the table with their opponents in ninth but with a game in hand. These are the only two sides in the Premier League that have won each of their last three fixtures. West Ham made a typically inconsistent start to the new season with two losses followed by two wins and a couple of draws. Those two draws gave a hint of the good form to come with that recovery from 3-0 down at Tottenham and a 1-1 home draw with Manchester City. Since then, they have beaten Fulham, Sheffield United and Aston Villa. They have a good home record against Manchester United with the last two league games against them being won. Home form this season began with a loss to Newcastle but they have won three out of the next four and have the second best home record in the Premier League.

Manchester United are ninth in the table but if they were to win their game in hand, they'd be fourth and just two points behind league leaders Tottenham. The last three league games have seen them get wins over Everton, West Brom and Southampton. The latter saw them have to come back from 2-0 down to get the three points and maintained their 100% away league record. United have won four out of four on their travels this season, taking their record to eight straight away league victories. They have scored at least twice in all of those matches but the last four have all seen both teams score. Betting on that market should produce a winner for this game.
