Still stuck in the relegation zone, West Ham United will host Manchester United at the London Stadium in a crucial midweek Premier League Matchweek 26 clash.
The Hammers come into this game after a much-needed 2–0 away win against Burnley at Turf Moor, but despite that victory they remain 18th in the table, sitting three points behind Nottingham Forest and still under heavy relegation pressure. Home games are now absolutely vital for West Ham if they are to climb out of danger.
Manchester United, on the other hand, arrive in red-hot form. Under interim manager Michael Carrick, the Red Devils have won four consecutive matches, restoring confidence and momentum after a turbulent spell earlier in the season. United look far more organised and dangerous, especially in transition, and will be eyeing another three points to continue their climb up the table.
The last head-to-head between these two sides ended in a 1–1 draw at Old Trafford, a match played when Ruben Amorim was still in charge of United. That result suggests this fixture can be competitive, but the current form of both teams tells a very different story.
Now the big question: can Manchester United extend their winning run at the London Stadium, or will West Ham—desperate for points—produce a survival-defining home performance and finally lift themselves out of the relegation zone

West Ham United vs Manchester United Final Verdict
Form, confidence, and momentum all point in one direction. Manchester United arrive in far better shape, riding a four-game winning streak under Michael Carrick and looking sharper both defensively and in transition. West Ham United, despite a morale-boosting win at Burnley, remain fragile at home and continue to struggle with consistency under pressure. While relegation desperation could spark a spirited performance from the hosts, United’s current level and control should see them edge this contest. Expect West Ham to compete, but unless United underperform badly, the visitors look well placed to take at least a point—and are more likely to leave London with all three.
