Manchester United take on troubled West Ham at Old Trafford this Saturday looking to bounce back from dropping two points at Fulham last week. United boss, Sir Alex Ferguson will not want to fall any further behind table toppers Chelsea which means West Ham can expect a backlash which could put the London club in further trouble. The Hammers have already had a poor start to the new campaign with two defeats and six goals conceded which has put them one place off the bottom of the Premier League. Betfred Bookmakers make United overwhelming favourite to win the match with best price odds of 1/6, while at the same time they offer huge 22/1 top price odds on West Ham coming away with their first win at Old Trafford since May, 2007, when they won 1-0 with a goal from Carlos Tevez; the draw can be backed at 6/1.

United having started the season with a highly efficient 3-0 win at home to newly promoted , Newcastle, lost their way a little last week against Fulham, despite taking the lead through a goal from the hugely in form, Paul Scholes. The 35 year old midfielder is likely to continue in the centre of midfield this week, alongside Darren Fletcher, but it is the wider areas where it is difficult to say who will play. Ferguson has been adamant that his talisman, Wayne Rooney will be back amongst the goals soon, which means he is likely to start, after missing the Fulham match. He will likely partner Dimitar Berbatov up front, with fit again, Michael Owen a likely candidate for the bench along with new signing Hernandez. Rooney in fact is favourite to score the first goal of the match with odds of 9/4 while Berbatov is less fancied at 7/2, both with Betfred
West Ham will welcome back, Matthew Upson and fellow defender, Winston Reid, but continue to be without new signing, Thomas Hitzisperger with a thigh injury. Up front it is likely that Carlton Cole will be alongside Frederic Piquionne, although manager, Avram Grant might play a little more reservedly and have five in midfield with just one up front.

We all know that shocks occur in football matches which is why we always look twice when Bookmakers offer 22/1 on one team in a two team race. So much so that we always advocate for punters to have a modest stake on them, purely on the basis of value. In real terms of course, West Ham should have no chance in this match. The last time they came to Old Trafford, earlier this year, they got well beaten by 0-3, the goals coming from a Rooney brace and Michael Owen and we think that 3-0 might well be the score again. A 3-0 United win can be backed at 6/1 with bet fred.com however we have listed a few other selected Correct Score possibilities below.
Selection 1: West ham to Win Match @ 22/1 (£10 Bet wins £220)
Selection 2: Rooney to Score Opening Goal @ 9/4 (£25 Bet wins £56.25)
