In the 26th round of the English Premier League on February 10, 2026, West Ham will face Manchester United. The visitors are fighting for fourth place and are focused solely on victory.
Our prediction for West Ham vs Manchester United
The London club, having changed its manager last season, hovered on the brink of relegation, finishing with 43 points in fourteenth place. But this season, whether under Potter or already with Nuno Espírito Santo, things weren’t clicking for a long time. However, after a cup win against QPR in January, they secured important Premier League victories over Tottenham and Sunderland. And after losing to Chelsea, they confidently beat Burnley 2-0.
United had a disastrous previous Premier League campaign, finishing only fifteenth. Europe didn’t save them either—they lost the Europa League final 0-1 to Tottenham. Amorim wasn’t dismissed even after a shock exit from the League Cup at the hands of Grimsby. On the other hand, when the Portuguese manager was finally let go in January, they lost their cup tie to Brighton. However, Carrick began with landmark victories over City and Arsenal. They almost slipped up against Fulham, but then beat Tottenham decisively, 2-0.
The capital team scores 1.24 goals per match on average but concedes 1.92. Bruno Fernandes and company score 1.84 and concede 1.44 goals per match.
