Why you should back Manchester United
The Red Devils' triumph over Newcastle United last weekend extended their unbeaten streak across all competitions to 10 games, a run during which they've recorded eight victories and a pair of draws. Marcus Rashford netted one of Manchester United's goals in that win and leads the team with 25 in 38 overall matches this season. The 25-year-old forward, who produced the lone goal when the Red Devils edged West Ham in English Premier League action last October, converted in the team's 3-1 triumph over Everton in the third round of the FA Cup.
Man United received an impressive effort from Casemiro in their 3-1 victory against Reading in the fourth round of the competition. The 31-year-old Brazilian midfielder, who has netted only two goals in 17 Premier League matches this campaign, opened the scoring in the 54th minute of the win and doubled the lead four minutes later. Casemiro also converted in the Red Devils' EFL Cup-winning triumph.
Why you should back West Ham
The Hammers have recorded a total of three goals in the FA Cup but have yet to allow one as they posted clean sheets against EPL rival Brentford and Derby County of League One. West Ham have seen three of their top four scorers in the Premier League convert in this competition. Forwards Jarrod Bowen (four goals) and Michail Antonio (three) tallied in their fourth-round triumph over Derby County after Algerian winger Said Benrahma recorded the lone goal versus Brentford in the previous round.
West Ham are one of the lowest-scoring teams in the EPL this season as they have registered only 23 goals in 24 matches. But after netting a total of six goals over their previous six contests across all competitions, the Hammers posted a 4-0 victory against Nottingham Forest in a Premier League matchup on Saturday. Antonio capped the scoring in that game with his sixth overall goal this season, putting him one behind Bowen for most on the team over all competitions.
