WEST HAM
Since steering the Hammers out of relegation in the 2019/20 season, David Moyes seems to have steadied the ship, securing a 6th and 7th place finish in 2020/21 and 2021/22 season respectively.
Although, last season’s Europa League Semi Final berth was an achievement for West Ham, their league campaign was somewhat disappointing as they capitulated when it mattered the most.
Hence, they could only manage 7th on the log despite having a clean shot at top four.
In the 2022/23 campaign, they begin with a home game against defending Champions Man City, a side that has beaten them 7 times in their last 9 meetings. Hence, it will take pulling a rabbit out of the hat to get something over Pep’s men here.
MANCHESTER CITY
Manchester City’s four league triumphs in 5 years shows how much the side has established its status as the team to beat in English football with Liverpool the only side to put up a strong challenge to their dominance so far.
In addition, the exit of Sterling, Zinchenko and Jesus and the arrival of Haarland and co means Pep is rebuilding and re-fortifying his squad ahead of another push for a league title or the ever elusive UCL trophy.
In this away trip, the Citizens will be looking to get their season off to a flying start and maintain their 100% opening day record under Pep.
