One of Tuesday's four EPL games see West Ham and Man United lock horns in East London, where the hosts will be hoping to build on what have been some pleasing recent efforts. It's not be a vintage season for the Hammers, far from it, but but Nuno Espirito Santo's men have turned a corner in recent weeks, winning three of their last four games. That run has given them a very realistic chance of beating the drop, which seemed highly unlikely just a month or so ago.
Tuesday's visitors have also turned a corner under the temporary stewardship of Michael Carrick, so much so that many fans are calling for the former player to be given the managerial job on a permanent basis. Time will soon tell in that regard, but on the field, it's been smooth sailing, with the Red Devils winning each of their last four, recording impressive wins against Man City, Arsenal, Fulham and most recently Tottenham. Can they make it five wins from five under the interim boss?

Our West Ham vs Manchester United Prediction
If you read my preview of United's last game, you'll know that I was backing Matheus Cunha to score there. Spolier alert, the Brazilian did not find the net, but he continued to look dangerous, especially from range, so much so that I'm not giving up on him.
Cunha's next goal is surely just around the corner, with the forward getting into lots of dangerous areas recently, playing like a player who is now very much settled. This season, no United player has taken more shots than Cunha, who has scored two goals in his last three.
Up against a West Ham defense that is far from secure, given his recent efforts, the Brazilian looks nicely priced to find the net.
Our West Ham vs Man United Pick: Matheus Cunha to Score.
