Saturday’s Premier League action kicks off at the London Stadium where West Ham United take on Manchester United.

Having began the campaign with four straight defeats the Hammers have now taken four points from the last six available, which includes their impressive draw against Chelsea last weekend that ended the Blues’ perfect start.

They are also into the last sixteen of the EFL Cup after thrashing League Two side Macclesfield Town 8-0 on Wednesday evening though manager Manuel Pellegrini is expected to recall several first team players who were rested for that fixture.

Carlos Sanchez picked up an injury midweek and will miss out here though Marko Arnautovic could return after recovering from the knee injury which saw him miss the last league fixture.

Arnautovic is widely available at 7.0 (6/1) to open the scoring with Andriy Yarmolenko a 10.5 (19/2) chance with Unibet.

The home win is as highly priced as the 4.6 (18/5) on offer from Bet Victor with the visitors favourites at 1.89 (8/9) with Unibet. The draw can be backed at 3.8 (14/5) with several firms.

Jose Mourinho’s side only managed a draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers last time out in the league, while they crashed out of the EFL Cup to Derby County on penalties on Tuesday evening.

However, a return to winning ways here would see them move level on points with fourth place Watford, at least until later in the day.

Marcus Rashford is set to return for the Red Devils after serving a three-match suspension while Lee Grant is set to be named among the substitutes after Sergio Romero was sent off midweek.

Romelu Lukaku is favourites to get the first goal of the game at 4.2 (16/5) with Paul Pogba a 9.0 (8/1) shot with Bet Victor.

Last season’s corresponding fixture ended goalless with the Red Devils winning each of the three meetings before.

Four of the last five meetings between the two in London were goalless at half-time so you may be tempted to bet on that outcome this time around at 3.1 (21/10) with Sky Bet while the away win to nil is 3.3 (23/10) with Bet Victor.
