West Ham United have proven to be something of a bogey team for Manchester United in recent years and will be hoping to continue their good form when the two sides meet at London Stadium on Tuesday evening.<\/p>\n
The Hammers have won four of their last six Premier League games against the Red Devils, including both meetings last season – more than they had in their previous 28 meetings.<\/p>\n
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side find themselves in 18th position, largely because of some dreadful home form that has earned them just 10 points from a possible 36, but they have beaten Manchester United in their last three encounters in east London.<\/p>\n
Hammers shed unwanted record<\/p>\n
Saturday’s 2-0 win over fellow strugglers Burnley was West Ham’s third win in four after 10 games without a victory.<\/p>\n
It saw the Irons end a dire run of 21 league games without a clean sheet \u2013 their first under Nuno \u2013 a welcome shutout that coincided with a debut for on-loan Chelsea defender Axel Disasi and a recall for goalkeeper Mads Hermansen.<\/p>\n
In attack, the Hammers are notably more dangerous since January arrivals Valentin Castellano and Pablo entered the fray, having scored at least twice in four consecutive top-flight games for the first time since a run of five in December 2021-January 2022. But one of the main reasons they’ve won three of their last four league games is Crysencio Summerville.<\/p>\n
The rejuvenated Dutch winger is one of the league’s in-form players, with a fine display in the FA Cup third-round win over Queens Park Rangers triggering a run of five goals in five consecutive games in all competitions – the first West Ham player to achieve that feat since Jesse Lingard in March\/April 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"West Ham United have proven to be something of a bogey team for Manchester United in recent years…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":459961,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99],"class_list":["post-459960","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/459960","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=459960"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/459960\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/459961"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=459960"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=459960"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=459960"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
