Manchester United vs West Ham United Prediction and Betting Tips | December 4th 2025

Manchester United will host West Ham United at Old Trafford on Thursday in another round of the 2025-26 Premier League campaign. The home side have been inconsistent this season, but continue their push for a return to Europe as they sit seventh in the table with 21 points from 13 matches.

Manchester United marked their return to action after the international break with a highly disappointing 1-0 home defeat to 10-man Everton, and their struggles appeared set to continue on Sunday when Jean-Philippe Mateta put Crystal Palace ahead in the first half. However, quickfire second-half goals from Joshua Zirkzee and Mason Mount saw United turn the game around to win 2-1, ending their four-game winless run against the London side.

West Ham United, meanwhile, endured a difficult start to their season but appeared to have turned a corner under new manager Nuno Espírito Santo, picking up two wins and a draw from their first three matches in November.

However, they suffered a setback in their most recent outing, falling 2-0 at home to an out-of-sorts Liverpool side. The Hammers conceded twice in the second half and had Lucas Paqueta sent off for dissent, leaving them 17th in the table with 11 points.

Manchester United vs West Ham United Prediction

The Red Devils snapped a three-game winless run with their latest result and will be confident of building on that this week. They are favorites heading into the midweek clash, having won four of their last five at Old Trafford, but will need to bring their A-game to avoid any unpleasant surprises.

West Ham, meanwhile, saw their most recent result halt a three-game unbeaten streak. They have won just once on the road all season and could suffer defeat here.

Prediction: Manchester United 2-1 West Ham United
