Manchester United vs West Ham
Last Sunday, Manchester United beat Newcastle 2-0 to win the English League Cup. With that, the team consolidated its best moment of the season. Erik ten Hag’s men are at the top of the Premier League table, eight points clear of leaders Arsenal. In addition, they recently eliminated Barcelona in the Europa League.
In the third round, United began their trajectory in the tournament and won 3-1 against Everton. In the sequence, they faced a weaker team, Reading, and triumphed again, by the same score.
So much love for @Casemiro from his fellow Reds ❤️#MUFC || #World11 pic.twitter.com/xkwcpGCuDE

On the other hand, West Ham still haven’t been able to gear up for the season. Thus, the club, at this moment, is fighting to remain in the elite of English football. In 16th place, the team from Paquetá scored only 23 points, two more than Everton, the first club within the Z3.
In this way, the confrontation against United can be a way to improve the team’s performance. Brentford and Derby County were the victims of the association in this edition of the FA Cup.
