“Not capable” | Pundit says lacking Hammers can avoid defeat | OneFootball

West Ham are expected to not walk away empty handed from Old Trafford this afternoon, according to Chris Sutton.

Although the former player turned pundit does feel that Graham Potters side are unlikely to walk away from facing the Red Devils empty handed today.

“I am not sure who would want to watch this game? Manchester United’s second string versus such a poor West Ham side with nothing to play for is not exactly essential viewing,” Sutton told BBC Sport.

“The Europa League final is going to be Ruben Amorim’s focus for the rest of the season and Brentford made the most of that when they beat a weakened United team last weekend.

“I am not sure the Hammers are as dynamic as Brentford in attack, however, so they may not be capable of doing the same thing.

“A lot depends on the United team selection, though. It is hard enough making predictions anyway, but its even harder when there could be mass changes, and you don’t know whether it is the United first team who are going to play, or be more like the youth team.

“That makes this more of a guess, when I am used to applying science to my predictions, but I wish I had gone for West Ham to draw with Tottenham last week, and I am not going to make the same mistake this time.” Sutton’s prediction: 1-1
