After the end of the longest trophy drought since the 1980s, Manchester United had little time to celebrate their League Cup victory. Now they are aiming for progress in the FA Cup. Erik ten Hag is only the second manager in the club’s history to win a silver trophy in his first season with Jose Mourinho, but he’s not ready to rest on his laurels. At a recent press conference, the manager said he was “at the beginning of the restoration of Manchester United to the state in which it should always be.” There are chances to win. The Red Devils played especially well at home, where they have not lost the last 18 matches. In the Premier League championship on account of Manchester United there are 15 victories and four draws, which corresponds to 49 points and the third position in the standings. In the last game the hosts defeated Leicester City (3:0). Shaw, Fred, Van de Beek, Martial, Greenwood and Ericsson, who has an ankle injury, will not be able to play today.
In 2021 West Ham inflicted their only defeat against today’s hosts on their field and did so for the first time since 2007. This could give hope for the first quarter-final outing in seven years, though David Moyes has only beaten his former employers once in his entire career. However, this year the capital’s performance is unstable, while successful in the FA Cup. Moreover, the success in the last duel against Nottingham Forest (4:0) was the sixth in a row, which, together with five peaceful outcomes, corresponds to 23 points and 16th position in the standings. The attack looks weak, which differed less than once per match, while it looks good in defense, which, against the background of such results, looks very worthy. In this fight, Cornet, Fabiansky and Zuma, who has a hip injury, will remain on the bench. More soccer football prediction can be obtained from the link provided.
