West Ham vs Manchester City Match Preview and Team News
West Ham
As for West Ham, they produced another memorable campaign last time around, reaching the Europa League semi-finals and securing a top-seven finish in the Premier League in the process. While closing the gap on the top-six could prove tougher than ever this term, David Moyes’ men will be quietly confident that they can use their excellent 2021-22 campaign as a platform to become consistent top-six contenders. As for West Ham, 12 of their 14 Premier League losses last season went under the 4.5 goal barrier, so there’s plenty of reason to believe the Hammers can keep this contest competitive, especially in front of their own supporters. Meanwhile, Gianluca Scamacca may well be handed his full debut in a Hammers shirt. However, it is unclear how David Moyes will deploy the Italian with Michail Antonio still a key part of their success last year. Declan Rice has excellent ball control, he can play in several positions, and every team needs such a player. Jarrod Bowen is a great player, he creates a lot of problems for his opponents, and the greatest virtue of this guy is speed.
Manchester City
Pep Guardiola’s star-studded side pipped Liverpool to the league title on a dramatic final day of the 2021/22 campaign, as the Citizens clinched their fourth crown in five years. Now armed with Erling Haaland, who banged in 85 goals in 88 matches for Borussia Dortmund, City are general favorites to lift the trophy once again. However, after falling to a 3-1 defeat to Liverpool in last Saturday’s Community Shield, boss Guardiola will demand an immediate response when his team embarks on their title defense in East London this weekend. Phil Foden shows her talent and should be one of the leading players in the future. Jack Grealish is the engine of this team, he goes through the opponent’s defense like a fast train, has excellent ball control, and the English international can be satisfied with his performance.
