The Red Devils are the clear favorite, with odds set at -223 for Ruben Amorim’s squad to dispatch lowly West Ham. My Premier League best bets focus on United keeping a clean sheet and Bruno Fernandes playing a major role when the action starts at 3 p.m. ET on USA Network.

⚽ Manchester United vs. West Ham best bet & score prediction
See all of our experts' soccer picks this week.
Manchester United looked miserable on their way to losing against 10-man Everton in their last home game.
But an inspiring performance in their next match should set them up for success Thursday against West Ham, as we’re backing the Red Devils to keep a clean sheet.
Red Devils attack ready to feast
Manchester United showed enough desire and perseverance in their come-from-behind win over Crystal Palace last weekend to give us confidence that Amorim’s squad is capable of winning consecutive Premier League games for the second time this season.
A date with one of the Premier League’s worst defenses should also benefit United, as West Ham have conceded the second-most goals (27) this season through 13 games.
But don’t write-off West Ham, who are capable of exploiting gaps and could make United pay with an ever-present counter-attacking threat.
But ultimately, we like United to stay in control of this game and secure their second clean sheet of the season. A winning $10 bet on Manchester United keeping a clean sheet delivers a profit of $15 with +150 odds at bet365.
Score prediction: Manchester United 2, West Ham 0

Bruno Fernandes vs. West Ham’s defense
Look for Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes to dictate play as usual Thursday and be at the heart of key moments for the visitors.
With his vision and key passes set to keep West Ham on their toes, we’re expecting the Portuguese playmaker to help Manchester United secure three points and add to his Premier League-leading five assists.
Fernandes, who also leads the Premier League in key passes with 28 in 13 games, shouldn’t have a problem splitting open West Ham’s suspect midfield and defense with his trademark passes in the final third.
Best prop bet: Bruno Fernandes assist (+205 via FanDuel)
