S.P.Read Esq: West Ham v Man U

Our daily columnist and pundit S.P. Read Esq. looks ahead to the Premier League game on Sunday (4.15pm, LIVE SKY) between WEST HAM v MAN U and finds the best opportunities available on Star Spreads, the home of sports spread betting.

Three Premier League games on Sunday and it’s the final match at 4.15pm that makes most appeal with West Ham hosting Man U.

It’s 8th v 4th in the table, so plenty to play for and a win for Man U today would lift them into third spot.

Man U are still looking vulnerable away from home but their record over West Ham over the years is hard to ignore. They are unbeaten in their last 12 top-flight games against West Ham, winning 11 of those matches.

The Hammers are playing well this season and have 17 more points than they did at the same stage in the last campaign, however, their form is just starting to dip and they have only won one of their last six Premier League games. They will also be without central defenders James Collins, Winston Reid and (possibly) Andy Carroll after his recent ankle injury.

For Man U Louis van Gaal is again without Michael Carrick but Ashley Young is fit again after a hamstring strain.

There should be plenty of drama – it was in this fixture last season that Wayne Rooney scored from the halfway line !!

I think it will be an open game and plenty of goals – so am again selling the time of the third match goal. The bookings spread is a lot lower today compared with Everton v Liverpool last night. That was a loser for me, I bought at 61 and the make-up was 50. I’m buying again today at 41 – which is the average of Mark Clattenburg’s card rate so far this season.
