Mark Lawrenson states his prediction for West Ham vs Manchester United

  Manchester United will face West Ham in an away Premier League game on Saturday, December 5. Ahead of the game, BBC Sport football expert Mark Lawrenson has stated his prediction.

"West Ham are on a great run and are looking for their fourth straight win. I spoke to their manager, and my friend, David Moyes last week who told me Aston Villa were the better team during the 2-1 win and that his side were lucky to come away with three point.

"Having said that he has got his team competing well and they're difficult to play against - Moysie might also feel he has a point to prove this weekend against his old employers.

"United come into this game on the back of that loss against Paris St-Germain with their Champions League hopes still hanging in the balance, although I don't think that will play on their minds at the London Stadium.

"The issue I have is that I don't think manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has come to terms with his best team or has established a definitive way of playing.

"They're very good in attack at times, but Anthony Martial looks like a world beater one week and a debutant the next. At least Edinson Cavani, as he's shown in recent games, has proved he's still a great finisher. At the moment a lot of members of the United side are playing at six out of 10 level though."

Lawrenson's score prediction: 1-1
