West Ham take on the visitors Manchester United at “Olympic Stadium” in the matchday 31 of the English Premier League. The game will be played in London on Thursday, May 10th.
West Ham celebrated 2:0 victory over Leicester City on the road in the previous gameweek. Thus, “The Hammers” have already secured themselves a place in the Premier League for the next season. As the long-lasting task is finally fulfilled, the footballers can take a breath and relax now. Such a reaction is natural as the tension was simply immense. Hence, I believe it won’t be easy for them to take the points from one of the best sides being in such conditions. Nevertheless, despite being highly motivated West Ham were broken by Arsenal and Manchester City with 2:8 aggregated score in late April. All in all, “The Hammers” deserved only one out of 21 possible points in seven encounters conducted against the leading quartet with seven goals for and 20 goals against. In particularly, the side was thrashed by Manchester United with 4:0 scoreline on the road. The team conceded at least two goals in seven out of eight recent head-to-heads against Manchester United hosted at their home field.

There is a set tendency in this season which has been broken not a single time: if Manchester United lose the Premier League battle, they obligatory succeed in the next one. Following this trend, Jose Mourinho’s side has to beat West Ham in the forthcoming clash as it failed against Brighton in the previous fight. Six latest defeats were altered with six victories with 12:2 aggregated score. Manchester United conduct one of the best seasons in recent years, having gained 77 points with only two encounters left till the end (which hasn’t happened since Alex Ferguson’s times). “The Red Devils” have won seven out of last nine tackles conducted within the Premier League, having lost only twice to West Bromwich and Brighton which were fiercely battling for saving their places in the elite division at that time. During that period Manchester United upset even Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal. Thus, I believe they are quite able to beat West Ham, particularly when the hosts still haven’t guaranteed themselves the second place. Nevertheless, it would be quite unpleasant for such a notable club to end the season with failures against the teams sitting in the lower part of the standings plus “The Red Devils” must rehabilitate themselves in the face of their supporters for the bitter defeat from Brighton. Manchester United have won nine out of 14 away clashes against the teams beyond top-five.
Manchester United celebrated confident triumphs in three previous head-to-heads against West Ham with 4:0, 2:0 and 4:1 scorelines. Thus, I expect for another victory of Manchester United in the forthcoming tackle as the difference in class as well as psychological conditions is dramatic. I assume that “The Hammers” will be relaxed as they have already fulfilled their task for the season while “The Red Devils” will be very focused after a cold shower from Brighton.
Prediction for the match: Manchester United to win.
