Premier League preview and odds: Manchester United vs West Ham United

November 27, 2016 16:30pm - Old Trafford Stadium

Referee: TBC

Premier League

Manchester United will look to break their three-game winless streak on home soil when they face 17th-ranked Premier League strugglers West Ham United at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.

United losing touch with top four

Manchester United`s status as top-four contenders is already in doubt as the 20-time former champions are currently six points adrift of the first Champions League qualifying spot. With the top four teams all showing good form, the Red Devils need a win on Sunday to avoid being left behind.

Jose Mourinhos men have drawn their last three home matches and have won just one of their last six matches overall. That win came away from home against second-from-bottom Swansea City.

The Manchester side come into this game on the back of a 4-0 win over Feyenoord in the Europa League. Prior to that, they were held 1-1 at home by Arsenal.

Meanwhile, West Ham United could lift themselves as high as 12th in the Premier League table with a win on Sunday. However, the Hammers have lost five of the six away games that they have played this term and are currently winless in three Premier League matches.

Last time out, Slaven Bilic`s men let a 2-1 lead slip in the final few minutes away to Tottenham Hotspur. On a positive note, they have managed to score at least one goal in five of their six away games.

Team news

Eric Bailly (knee), Chris Smalling (toe) and James Wilson (ACL) are all still out of action for the home side.

Meanwhile, the visitors will hand a late fitness test to Andy Carroll who has recovered from a knee problem, while Reece Oxford (ankle), Gokhan Tore (thigh), Sam Byram (hamstring) and Arthur Masuaku (knee) are all still missing.

Betting odds and tips

Manchester United have drawn their last three matches at Old Trafford and have conceded in four of their last five. However, they are facing a West Ham side that has struggled away from home this term so a much needed home win should be on the cards.
