Total over 3

West Ham were dangerously close to the relegation zone with 4 rounds to go, which could have ended very badly for them. David Moyes’ side are on a 3-game losing streak going into the upcoming match, but rivals include such powerful clubs as Liverpool (1-2) and Manchester City (0-3). Hammers will have to work very hard to stop this negative trend. In the upcoming meeting, the main defenders – Zuma and Tsoufal will probably not take part. In addition, key midfielders Soucek (2+3) and Rice (3+2) are under question.

Manchester United is in a better league position. They safely hold the 4th lane of the Premier League, breaking away from chasing Liverpool by 4 points with 2 matches in reserve. Erika ten Haga’s team is doing great in the transition phases of rivals, which they proved once again in the last match against Aston Villa (1: 0).

In the last 5 rounds, the Red Devils do not know the bitterness of defeat, but in the future it will be hard to build on success. The main centre-backs Martinez and Varane are injured and the replacements Shaw and Lindelof can bring them in periodically.

Both teams lost key central axis players. After this match, I expect to play on a collision course with lots of sharp moments.
