Man United vs West Ham FA Cup match preview

We last saw Man United vs West Ham in the FA Cup in the fifth-round proper in 2021, with Man United winning 1-0 in extra time.

The last FA Cup tie West Ham won vs Man United was a fourth-round match in January 2001.

West Ham have fallen at the fifth round in the past 2 FA Cups while the last time Man United made it to the fifth round and progressed no further was back in 2006.

The previous time West Ham made it past the fifth round of the FA Cup was back in 2016. Aside from falling in the fourth round last year, Man United have made it past the fifth round every year since 2013.

West Ham have been winners of the FA Cup 3 times, but not since 1980.

We've already seen Man United vs West Ham once in the Premier League this season, with Man United coming away with a 1-0 victory.

West Ham are struggling this EPL this season and are near the danger zone of being relegated.

A 4-0 victory over Nottingham Forest on the weekend in the Premier League helped move them out of harm's way though – for now.

However, Man United keep improving and are third in the EPL.

With Man United beating Barcelona in the Europa League and coming off a victory in the Carabao Cup final in recent days, we think their recent winning form will continue as they look to add another trophy this season.
