Manchester United vs West Ham United Current League Standings

The Red Devils have started this campaign very mediocre, winning six, drawing three and losing four of their 13 matches so far. Their 21 points is good enough to see them sit seventh heading into this fixture, and with very strong home form of four wins and two defeats, they will feel very confident about breaking into the top six soon.

Meanwhile, the same cannot be said about West Ham, winning just three games all season, while losing eight times – three times of which have been by a three-goal margin. Despite their poor statistics in many key areas, they do (just about!) sit above the relegation zone on 11 points – granted, on goal scored – over Leeds United.
