West Ham United vs Manchester City is the upcoming match in the Premier League. Guardiola's men looks to win the league three times in a row, while West Ham looks to push for top 4.

West Ham United vs Manchester City: Match Preview:

In May, David Moyes' side raced into a two-goal lead back in May before Pep Guardiola's team fought back, although City have added a certain Erling Haaland into the mix since.

The prospect of marking Haaland was something Mark Noble joked about as he prepared to bid farewell to his playing days and it will be fascinating how the Norwegian does on his debut in the Premier League.

Having struggled to make much of an impact in the Community Shield, West Ham will be the first ones to have a look at him in this context.

Last season, the London Stadium became something of a fortress for Moyes and the good memories there built along their European adventure will certainly need to be drawn upon this time around.

Team News:

West Ham United:

West Ham boss Moyes said during Friday's press conference that patience would be needed when it comes to new signing Scamacca, who will not be considered for a start this weekend.

Angelo Ogbonna is making excellent progress in his recovery from a long-term knee injury, but the experienced centre-back is also out, while new signing Aguerd is missing due to an ankle problem.

As a result, the starting side is expected to have a familiar look to it, with Michail Antonio likely to lead the line, while Rice will captain the team from the middle of the park.

Said Benrahma is likely to be given the nod on the left, with Jarrod Bowen and Pablo Fornals also set to feature in the positions behind Antonio.

Manchester City:

As for Man City, Aymeric Laporte is out until at least September following a knee injury, while John Stones is lacking match fitness, so Nathan Ake should again feature alongside Ruben Dias in the middle of defence.

Guardiola has big decisions to make in the positions further forward; Haaland is set to make his Premier League debut at centre-forward, while Phil Foden and Riyad Mahrez are also likely to feature in the final third, which could leave Jack Grealish on the bench.

Bernardo Silva is likely to start in midfield despite the speculation surrounding his future, while the likes of Kyle Walker, Joao Cancelo, Kevin De Bruyne, Ederson and Rodri will also be in the side.

West Ham United vs Manchester City: Head to Head:

Manchester City have an impressive record against West Ham United and have won 60 out of the 117 matches played between the two teams, as opposed to the Hammers' 38 victories.

West Ham United have played their first game of the season against Manchester City on three previous occasions and have lost all three games, conceding 11 goals in the process.

Manchester City are unbeaten in their last 13 matches against West Ham United and are one positive result away from equalling their longest active unbeaten streak against Fulham.

Predicted Line-ups:

West Ham United: Fabianski; Coufal, Zouma, Dawson, Cresswell; Rice, Soucek; Bowen, Fornals, Benrahma; Antonio

Manchester City: Ederson; Walker, Dias, Ake, Cancelo; De Bruyne, Rodri, Bernardo; Mahrez, Haaland, Foden
