Pundits Paul Merson and Chris Sutton have delivered split predictions for Tuesday’s high-stakes meeting between a relegation-threatened West Ham and a Manchester United side chasing a fifth straight win.
Pundits Paul Merson and Chris Sutton are divided over the outcome of tonight’s Premier League clash at the London Stadium.
West Ham enter the game in strong form, having won three of their last four matches to move within three points of safety.
Meanwhile, Manchester United are targeting a fifth consecutive league victory under interim boss Michael Carrick to solidify their fourth-place standing.
Merson predicts a 1-1 draw, wary of the Hammers’ survival desperation and Jarrod Bowen’s versatility.
Conversely, Sutton is backing a 1-2 United win, admitting he is joining the “Carrick bandwagon” despite some reservations.
Merson highlighted the impact of United’s coaching staff, noting: “The impact made by Steve Holland cannot be overlooked. He has helped Michael Carrick, thanks to his experience of being a good coach.”
