Felipe Anderson backed to end his goal drought for West Ham against Manchester United

Unsurprisingly, West Ham have made massive outsiders with the bookmakers to spring a surprise against Manchester United on Saturday evening despite the home sides iffy recent form.

United have lost four of their last five matches in all competitions under new permanent boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, while the Hammers have been diabolical on the road since the start of 2019.

Manuel Pellegrini's side come into Saturday's matchup having earned just one point on the road in 2019 and they haven't taken three points back to London since December 27 and a 2-1 win down at Southampton.

The Hammers are looking to do the double of United this season after emerging victorious back in September in Stratford, Felipe Anderson getting off the mark for the club as they beat a United side then led by Jose Mourinho 3-1.

Manchester United squad members confirmed ahead of West Ham clash with two unfamiliar names  

Anderson returned to the team for last Monday's defeat at Chelsea having missed his first game of the season in the league the week before when West Ham were downed by Everton.

Hammers official sponsors Betway make him 11/1 to net the first goal of the evening at Old Trafford later, while the visitors are 7/1 to get the win. You can also get Anderson at 15/4 to score anytime during the match despite him having struggled in front of goal this year.

Karren Brady hails "wonderful news" as West Ham's home finally goes claret  

Over 2.5 goals is priced up at 1/2 with the online bookmaker, while over 3.5 goals is 5/4.

Only one side has scored in three of the previous four games between these two sides and it’s Evens for that to be the case again.
