West Ham vs Manchester City: Will the Citizens' winning streak continue?
On Saturday, August 31, the Olympic Stadium in London will host a match between West Ham and Manchester City as part of the 3rd round of the English Premier League.
The Hammers started the new English Premier League with a defeat to Aston Villa, but managed to beat Crystal Palace in the second round. During the summer off-season, the team changed its coach and now instead of David Moyes, the Londoners are led by Spaniard Julen Lopetegui.
The upcoming match against Manchester City does not promise anything good for West Ham, since the home team will have to play second fiddle for almost the entire game. If the Londoners manage to play disciplined defense, they will be able to claim a positive result in the game against the current champion of the Premier League.
Manchester City
Manchester City have had no surprises in the first two rounds of the English championship, beating Chelsea and Ipswich in turn. In addition, Pep Guardiola's team won the FA Super Cup in a match against Manchester United, which means they are in great shape and in a good mood.
The Citizens are determined to win the English Premier League again and for this it is important for them not to lose points in such matches. The Spanish coach will probably put out his strongest line-up, a place in which should definitely be taken by Erling Haaland, who has already managed to score four goals in this competition.
