Manchester United v West Ham FA Cup betting tips and odds

Manchester United triumphed over Newcastle United to lift the EFL Cup on Sunday. The Red Devils bagged a 2-0 win as Erik ten Hag delivered a trophy in his first season in charge. However, all focus must now be on the FA Cup as West Ham visit Old Trafford in a bid to advance to the fifth round.

West Ham are yet to concede in the FA Cup this season, having picked up 1-0 and 2-0 victories over Brentford and Derby County, respectively. The Hammers will be hoping for an unlikely victory at Old Trafford to put gloss on a season that has been disappointing thus far.

Christian Eriksen, Donny van de Beek, and Anthony Martial are all out injured, while Luke Shaw and Fred are doubtful to face West Ham.

Due to injuries, Vladimir Coufal and Lukasz Fabianski will miss the trip to Old Trafford, while Danny Ings is ineligible because he has already represented Aston Villa in the FA Cup this season.
