Manchester United host West Ham United at Old Trafford early on Sunday afternoon in what promises to be an exciting watch. Back in December, West Ham won 2-0 against Man United in a huge Christmas win for the Hammers. Jarrod Bowen was the first man to find the back of the net following a well weighted over-the-top through ball from Lucas Paqueta. Mohammed Kudus then confirmed West Ham’s victory by coolly slotting one into the bottom left from the edge of the box.

The hosts will be coming into this game with high spirits following a tough-fought midweek victory against Wolves. There was plenty of last-minute drama in this one, with Kobbie Mainoo grabbing the winner in the 97th-minute, just two minutes after Wolves’ equaliser. They currently sit in 7th place on the table.

West Ham, despite sitting in 6th place, have had a string of poor results recently. They drew midweek at the London Stadium against Bournemouth making it five games without a win (4D 1L). These games include a surprising 1-0 loss to Bristol City in the FA Cup, and a 2-2 draw against bottom-of-the-table Sheffield United.

⚽ Match stats: Plenty of goals expected

Man United will jump above West Ham and sit in 6th place if they win this one. The hosts managed to put four past Wolves in the week, meaning they have now scored at least two goals in four of their last five games. They will likely want to lead from the front again in this one too. Rasmus Hojlund seems to have found his shooting boots, scoring a goal in all of his last three outings.  Another player West Ham will have to keep at bay is Bruno Fernandes. The midfielder has been solid this season, creating the most chances up top for his team, and leading the way at his club for the most goals and assists (7). However, West Ham are equally strong up top. Collectively, they have scored 36 goals in the Premier League, most of which have come from Jarrod Bowen. Bowen is not only West Ham’s top scorer, but has the 5th-highest number of goals in the league; ranking joint-second in most goals from open play. Man United struggled to defend against him back in December, letting him take three shots on target and bag himself a goal. Man United will also need to keep tabs on James Ward-Prowse, who has contributed to 11 goals since his transfer from Southampton. Ward-Prowse is arguably one of the best dead ball specialists in the league, proving his worth in the week by slotting a spot kick home against Bournemouth. With plenty of attacking threat from both sides, goals are likely to follow on Sunday.

Predictions:

⚽ Over 2.5 goals @ 1.57

🎯 Shooting stats: Bowen and Hojlund: the danger men

We’ve already mentioned how Bowen and Hojlund are on top form recently, but let’s delve a bit deeper into their stats… Bowen averages 1.2 shots on target per 90 minutes, the highest of any West Ham player. He also averages the highest number of shots from the Hammers’ regular XI (2.6 per 90 minutes). As their top goalscorer, it’s not surprising that he also has their highest xG (8.55), ranking him 8th in the league. He has also been thriving away from home, with seven of his 11 goals coming on the road. The record for most away goals in a single top-flight season for West Ham is nine: achieved by Mike Small in their 1991/92 campaign. Hojlund is averaging 0.8 shots on target per game this season, the joint-third highest of any Red Devil. Having shown his worth earlier this season in the Champions League, fans will be happy to see their striker finding some form domestically. He certainly has the ability, scoring nine goals in 20 starts last season in Serie A - averaging 1.4 shots on target.

Predictions:

⚽ Jarrod Bowen to score anytime @ 3.75

⚽ Jarrod Bowen to have 1+ shots on target @ 1.62

⚽ Rasmus Hojlund to score anytime @ 2.40

⚽ Rasmus Hojlund to have 1+ shots on target @ 1.25

🚩 Corners stats: Man United boast plenty of corners for and against

21 out of Man United’s 22 league games have seen the over 8.5 match corners, the highest percentage of any Premier League team. This has seen them average 6.32 corners both for and against. Over 9.5 match corners has landed in 73% of their matches, while the over 10.5 has in 68%. West Ham have conceded an equally high number of corners against so far this season, averaging 6.09 per match (just one ranking below Man United). However, they have only taken an average of 4.23 per match. Over 8.5 match corners has landed in 64% of their games, with both the over 9.5 and 10.5 landing in 55%. Against the big six however, West Ham’s games see much higher averages with recent games against Tottenham, Liverpool and Arsenal seeing at least 12 match corners.

Predictions:

⚽ Over 9.5 total corners @ 1.36

⚽ Over 10.5 total corners @ 1.60

🛑 Fouls stats: Casemiro’s Dark Arts

We spoke about Casemiro’s fouling antics in the week before his game against Wolves, he did not disappoint. The midfielder was booked in just the third minute of the game, committing a total of three fouls over the course of the match. The match before this, against Newport in the FA Cup, Casemiro was booked and committed four fouls. Then the game before this against Newcastle (yep, you guessed it) he was booked and committed two fouls despite playing only the first half. On top of his fouling history, Casemiro is likely to be defending against Kudus on the break - often covering the left-hand side. Kudus has drawn a staggering amount of fouls in his last five matches: 5, 1, 3, 1, 5 (an average of three per game). It was also against Man United that he drew those three fouls. Given these stats and his potential opponent, Casemiro looks to be generously priced to foul more than once.

Predictions:

⚽ Casemiro to commit 2+ fouls @ 1.83

⚽ Casemiro to commit 1+ fouls in each half @ 1.50
