Manuel Pellegrini knows all about Manchester United, and the former City boss knows all about setting up his team for Big Six opposition.
In 2019 his West Ham charges took seven points from games against Spurs, Arsenal and Liverpool, soaking up attacks and countering effectively.
Will they repeat the trick against fourth placed United? We asked the MEN's Richard Fay for his verdict.
Recommended Bets
Over 3.5 cards 4/5 - (see below)
Win, lose or draw?
United struggled at the London Stadium last season - the 3-1 defeat meaning that for the first time since 2013/14 there wasn't a drawn match between the sides in a season. That will change on Sunday. Draw. Which is a huge 13/5 with the pools.com. Get on.
Who's a good bet for 1st scorer?
Marcus Rashford. Injury to Anthony Martial means he is expected to start and seems the most likely to score. He's 4/1 to score first and 5/4 to be on target at any time .
Who's on the naughty step?
Ashley Young. Still somewhat of the weak link in the defence and will face a tricky test against West Ham's pace on the break.
Over 3.5 cards is 4/5 with thepools.com. So just absorb this key stat. In his last five matches referee Anthony Taylor has shown five, six and five yellows, six yellows and one red and EIGHT yellows and one red.
Who's on pens?
Marcus Rashford. See above.
Will United team keep a clean sheet?
No. United might have the best defence in the league but still continue to look vulnerable at the back. Memories of last year's horror show at the London Stadium are still fresh in the mind. Both Teams To Score is a skinny 8/15 as a result.
