BOTH West Ham and Manchester United have made unbeaten starts to the new Premier League season so that should lead to a lively showdown between the two teams at the London Stadium on Sunday.
The Hammers look poised for another strong season after producing their best Premier League campaign since 1998-99 last term.
David Moyes' men opened with impressive victories over Newcastle and Leicester before sharing the spoils with both Crystal Palace and Southampton respectively.
West Ham have since secured a winning start to their first-ever Europa League group-stage campaign, with a well-deserved 2-0 win at Dinamo Zagreb on Thursday night.
However, it was a different story on the continent for Sunday's opponents Manchester United, who suffered a dramatic 2-1 defeat at Young Boys on Tuesday, on a night where my recommended bet landed.
Red Devils boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has faced calls for the sack following that Swiss setback so he will demand a response from his wounded team when they return to Premier League action this weekend.
Outright Betting
West Ham have slayed the Red Devils on two of their last three visits to the London Stadium but the Hammers are huge outsiders on Sunday at 37/10 (SBK) while the draw is an unfancied 3/1 (SBK) with the same firm.
Manchester United are undefeated in their last 28 Premier League away matches and the Old Trafford outfit head into the contest as 11/13 favourites at SBK.
Betting Angles
Manchester United have blown hot and cold so far this season so rather than backing the visitors to win I'll head to UniBet's Bet Builder feature with a view to getting the Red Devils onside
Combining over one Man United goal and Man United double chance will bring about a backable 41/50 (UniBet) play.
As already alluded to, United produced the majority of their best work away from home last season, notching up two or more strikes in 12/19 league matches away from their Manchester base.
Sure, Solskjaer's side have failed to bag a brace on their travels this term but they will be coming up against a West Ham rearguard that is far from watertight.
Moyes' men have registered a mere three clean sheets across their last 15 top-flight assignments, not to mention 13/19 sides visiting this venue last season got on the scoreboard.
Both Newcastle and Crystal Palace, two teams you wouldn't traditionally associate scoring goals with, have made the net bulge twice against the east Londoners this season and top-heavy Man United look more than equipped to follow suit.
With all that in mind, I'll happily back United to avoid defeat at the London Stadium whilst scoring at least a couple of goals in the process.
I'll also dip into the anytime goalscorer market and take the 19/20 on offer with UniBet for Cristiano Ronaldo to get on the scoresheet.
The red half of Manchester has been buzzing after Ronaldo's return to Old Trafford and the Portuguese superstar typically grabbed the headlines during his homecoming.
Ronaldo has already scored three goals in two games and he appeals at a shade below evens to strike at the London Stadium on Sunday.
