THE LOWDOWN
WEST HAM
- West Ham are coming off the back of successive Premier League campaigns that saw them earn a place in Europe, so the pressure is on them to continue their upward momentum under David Moyes.
- New signing Nayef Aguerd misses out injured, whilst Moyes isn't expected to hand striker Gianluca Scamacca his Hammers debut due to a lack of fitness.
MAN CITY
- Reigning champions Man City haven’t stood still in the summer transfer window and whilst Raheem Sterling has left the club, a world class striker has joined in the form of Erling Haaland, alongside another top young attacking talent in Julian Alvarez.
- Manager Pep Guardiola will be without defender Aymeric Laporte through injury, meaning that John Stones and Ruben Dias are likely to form the centre-back pairing in this game.
THE TEAM NEWS
WEST HAM
PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Fabianski; Coufal, Dawson, Zouma, Cresswell; Rice, Soucek; Bowen, Lanzini, Fornals; Antonio
UNAVAILABLE: Aguerd (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Ogbonna (Injured), Scamacca (Fitness)
MAN CITY
PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Ederson; Walker, Stones, Dias, Cancelo; Rodri, Phillips; Mahrez, De Bruyne. Foden; Haaland
UNAVAILABLE: Laporte (Injured)

THE PREDICTION
Man City were beaten on the opening day of last season away to Spurs and no doubt they’ll be well aware of that, ensuring that complacency isn’t a factor in this encounter. West Ham have come on leaps and bounds over the past couple of seasons and could well frustrate Guardiola’s side here for large periods. However, the overwhelming firepower of Man City going forward should ultimately overwhelm the hosts and lead to victory for the visiting side.
TIP: MAN CITY TO WIN
