MANCHESTER UNITED VS WEST HAM LATEST ODDS AND BETTING TIPS
Sir Alex Ferguson's side will be looking to get things back on track today as they face off against West Ham in what is likely to be considered a must-win situation. William Hill seems to be particularly confident in United's abilities as they've been short-priced at a 2/13 margin. West Ham are a colossal 20/1 for the outright victory here and I honestly wouldn't begrudge any of their fans if they had a bash on that one.
The draw is trading at a very plausible 11/2.
William Hill is offering up an enhanced match handicap which is United to win by 5 or more goals at a 7/1 price. United haven't really laid into any teams in the fashion of Chelsea or Arsenal yet, so maybe the bookmakers think they're due to run riot against West Ham.
The favoured correct score margin is a 3-0 result to Manchester United and you can back that at a 11/2 price. A 1-0 victory is 17/2 while a 2-0 win pays out at 6/1. 4-0 rewards at a tidy 7/1.
United's odds to beat West Ham 6-0, which seems to be the magic scoreline this season, are priced at 25/1. A 1-1 draw pays out at 16/1 with a 2-2 draw at 33/1.
Despite not exactly setting world on fire, goal-wise, Wayne Rooney is the favoured goalscorer in this one and you can back him at a 1/2 price tag while Javier Hernandez, aka Chicharito, is priced at 4/5 to score anytime.
Dimitar Berbatov's odds are listed at 10/11 anytime alongside Michael Owen whiel Nani, Ryan Giggs and Antonio Valencia are all trading at 9/4 anytime.
Paul Scholes' odds to score are listed at 11/4 anytime.
For West Ham, they will be looking to Carlton Cole and Frederic Piquionne, and both players trade at 11/2 anytime. Alessandro Diamanti is listed at 6/1 while Benni McCarthy is priced at 7/1.
Over 3.5 goals in this one pays out at even money while under 3.5 is trading at 8/11. It's clear that the bookies expect to see Manchester United slot home a lot of goals here- I reckon Fergie feels the exact same way.
