Manchester United to win the game
Manchester United are aiming for a fourth victory in the last five matches. They have also been able to register four consecutive wins against West Ham, whose confidence will have taken a huge beating following the manner of the defeat during the weekend. United might rest key players like Cristiano Ronaldo, but the presence of the Portuguese has already had a major influence on the squad. The lift available within United should see them through.
Total goals under 2.5

Manchester United vs West Ham: A repeat of the weekend’s result?
Manchester United
Manchester United are one of the most successful teams in the EFL Cup after having lifted the title on five occasions and finished as the runner-up on a further four occasions. United are aiming to win the first EFL Cup title since 2016-17 season. In a bid to provide fringe players with some game time, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will undergo huge rotation. Marcus Rashford and Phil Jones will not be available, while Edinson Cavani is doubtful for the game.
West Ham
The Hammers might be in a mixed after failing to get anything out of the game against Manchester United despite playing so well. The return of Michail Antonio is a huge bonus for the team who will definitely be without Winston Reid for this game.
