The title holders begin their defence with a potential early banana skin at the London Stadium. This will be no easy game for City who find themselves coming off a heavy defeat to title rivals Liverpool in the community shield City will be banking on Haaland to score the goals this season but he does need a good supply, and I fear the loss of Sterling may be a big miss. I have a sneaky feeling that Kalvin Phillips will be given his first start for this game.
West Ham did not have a good transfer window if you look at it from a fresh signing point of view but one can argue that their biggest signing was the retention of Declan Rice. This won’t be an easy game for either side but with all being said I think City will win this by 2 goals
