Manchester United - West Ham tip, prognosis & odds - FA Cup 2021
Manchester United won the FA Cup for the last time in 2016. Overall, the Red Devils celebrated their twelfth success in the oldest and most important cup competition on the island.

On Tuesday evening, United had to deal with an uncomfortable opponent in the fifth round.

Before the game between Manchester United and West Ham, the odds clearly point towards a home win after regular time, but the guests from the capital have so far played an impressive 2021, which should be continued with a surprise coup at the empty Old Trafford if possible.
Free fixed picks
We can't understand that the best bookmakers see the Hammers with almost no chance, especially since coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team recently had problems to consistently perform well on the pitch. The fact that the English heavyweight won only two of the last six matches in the Premier League should definitely be taken into account for the forecast before the start of the Manchester United vs. West Ham encounter.

It is also important to mention that, unlike usual, there will be no repeat matches in the FA Cup this season. If the teams are tied after 90 minutes, extra time will follow and then a penalty shoot-out. From the point of view of the underdogs, a good evening is enough to secure the leap into the next round.

Manchester United stats & current form
At the weekend Manchester United suffered a major setback in the battle for the championship. While city rivals Manchester City won the top game in Liverpool 4-1, the Red Devils did not get past a 3-3 draw on Saturday at home against Everton despite a 2-0 and 3-2 lead, which put the gap on the Leader in the Premier League table has grown to five points. In addition, the Citizens still have some catching up to do.

It almost seems as if the team of coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would only have two options to finish the 2020/21 season with a title. On the one hand in the UEFA Europa League, where a not to be underestimated opponent was waiting with Real Sociedad at the end of February and on the other hand in the FA Cup, in which United did not look particularly good looking back on the last few years, especially against opponents from the capital.

ManUtd and the FA Cup curse against London clubs
Since 2011/12, the English record champions have only made it past the quarter-finals three times in nine editions. In five of these nine appearances, MUFC fell out against a club from London. For the superstitious bettors, it can therefore be an option between Manchester United and West Ham to tip the capitals, who in our eyes are too blatantly put into the role of the underdog.
Free fixed picks
It should not be neglected that the current runner-up in the Premier League only won two of his most recent six league games and only had the upper hand in five of twelve home games over the entire season. The star ensemble from the industrial city revealed deficits especially against compact defending opponents such as Sheffield United (1: 2), Crystal Palace (1: 3) or Arsenal (0: 1).

We are therefore of the opinion that a surprise cannot be ruled out on Tuesday evening, especially since the Norwegian coach on the United bench will certainly make one or two changes in the starting XI. Jones and Bailly are definitely injured. Paul Pogba is also unlikely to be available after being substituted at the weekend. Martial, Matic or replacement keeper Henderson are undoubtedly options for a start from the start.

Henderson; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw; Fred, McTominay; Rashford, Fernandes, Greenwood; Cavani

West Ham - Statistics & Current Form
West Ham United is and will remain one of the positive surprises of the current Premier League season. Very few experts would have believed the team of coach David Moyes, who had narrowly escaped relegation to the championship as 16th in the previous year, such a leap in performance. At the moment, the Hammers fans can even dream of the Champions League.

As sixth in the table, the Londoners were able to record eleven wins this season. Only one counter is currently missing in fourth position, on which Liverpool ranks. The reigning title holder was also the only club to beat the Irons in 2021. Of the other eight encounters, seven were won. There was also a goalless draw in Fulham at the weekend. In a foreign country, the Moyes-Elf has been unbeaten in all competitions since December 11th.

West Ham already had some exclamation marks this season
What should also be taken into account for the forecast between Manchester United and West Ham is the fact that the guests from London have nothing to lose and still go to the round of 16 with a lot of self-confidence. After all, last year's relegation candidate was able to score points against the top teams Tottenham, Manchester City, Leicester and Everton this season.

However, if you look at the performance of the Hammers in the FA Cup in recent years, the quotes taken from the betting base odds comparison before the away game in the Theater of Dreams are absolutely justified. There have been no more than two quarter-finals since 2010/11; in the past four seasons it was even the last stop in round four. From the Hammers' point of view, a lot is different this year - also in the most important cup competition on the island?
Free fixed picks
Because Coach Moyes' team will not be challenged again until next Monday and then have a feasible task at hand against Sheffield United at home, the very big rotation will probably not take place. Only Masuaku will be missing due to injury. ManUtd loan Lingard may not be used against his home club.

Expected formation of West Ham:
Fabianski; Fredericks, Dawson, Diop, Cresswell; Noble, Rice; Bowen, Lanzini, Fornals; Yarmolenko

Direct comparison / H2H
For the 13th time the two teams face each other in the FA Cup. With four wins for West Ham, three draws and five successes for ManUtd, the balance is relatively balanced. The last time the Red Devils needed a replay in the quarter-finals in 2015/16 to secure a place in the semi-finals in London. The direct duel in the current Premier League season ended after a long 1-0 lead by the outsider with 3-1 for the record champions.
