West Ham United v Manchester United predictions: Chris Sutton has his say

Chris Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League matches again this season, against a variety of guests.

For this weekend's games, he takes on Felix White, guitarist with 86TVs and a Fulham fan.

Sutton's prediction: 2-1

Manchester United parked the bus at Anfield, so will they do that here too? I don't think so.

I actually think West Ham will beat them, though. I often go for them to draw games, but I liked the way they went at Wolves.

In contrast, I wasn't impressed by Erik ten Hag's side at all. They may celebrate their draw with Liverpool but United fans should not be carried away with the way they got it. That just sums up how far they have fallen.

Felix's prediction: 2-1

Because I'm doing this Fulham podcast, I get to sit in the press box at Craven Cottage and it's great because everyone is tightly packed together.

Last year, I was sitting there on my own watching Fulham play Manchester City, and David Moyes was directly behind me. He was there because West Ham were playing City next.

I want to be clear that I wasn't eavesdropping, but he was having a conversation about the game the whole way through. I had the best seat in the house because I was there on my own and didn't have a mate or anyone to talk to, so I could just listen to the way he was analysing the game.

It was extraordinary hearing someone that you never get to hear on that level.

If he can read City like that, I have a feeling he might be able to read United the way they are going. So, I'm backing West Ham to win this one.
