West Ham (A) - Sun 15th May, 14:00 (BST) | Pre-Match Thread

[yeseye]

Live on Sky Sports for those in the UK. Kick off time 14:00 (BST) after the Premier League and Sky Sports messed us around.

Another big game, win and we force Liverpool to have to win their final 2 games and given the goal difference they would have to win those games comfortably to even have a chance.

It's going to be a tough game, especially given our defensive issues and there's a chance one of the young lads might have to come in and play in this one.

West Ham are fighting for a European spot, currently they occupy a conference league spot but winning their last 2 could see them frog United into a Europa League spot. The motivation will be there for them.

Give everything in this one and we finally get a week off before the final game if the season.

Potential Absentees:
Kyle Walker (out)
John Stones (out)
Ruben Dias (out)
Aymeric Laporte (questionable)
Fernandinho (questionable)

My Team Prediction:
------------------Ederson
Cancelo---????????---Ake---Zinchenko
----------------- --Rodri
----------Bernardo-----Gundogan
Mahrez-------De Bruyne----------Foden

There's a chance Egan-Riley or Rodri (with a re-shuffle further forward) may play centre half if the injuries are worse case scenario.

Is KO 2pm or 4pm?

Probably won’t know the team until 1 hr before the game, so as not to give anything away. However, with the personnel we have available, we have enough.

Players know they have to step up…and will. This team knows that their own success comes from the hard work of the player next to them. Soldiers fighting alongside each other in their foxholes!

 

[vmsuhail]

We have the momentum, the confidence and the goals. Should win this.

 

[Bazzmand Show]

We will win this, I thought after the Liverpool 2-2 in April that we would win every remaining league game.

2pm

 

[ManCityGR!]

Dias out. Stones out. Laporte out. Walker out. Fernadinho out.
What a nightmare@@
Hope KDB continues that way and Sterling, Foden and others to be more than the minus infinity clinical which they are now.
Real M. pair according to football both teams have played, should have been 6-3 in 1st game and 0-2 in the 2nd (before they scored 2 goals in the 5 minute blackout. 175 minutes dominance 5 minutes blackout and total destruction happened) but we miss tooooo many good chances all the time(yesterday should have been 3 more easy goals-KDB at the end, Foden and Sterling) .

We should not settle for a draw or rest in our +7 goal difference meaning even a -1 loss is almost ok. We need to give everything and win.


................Ederson................

Keep Rodri at the back for the hammers game, then concentrate on just scoring more than them. Horrific injury woes at the minute but we'll get there.

Dias out. Stones out. Laporte out. Walker out. Fernadinho out.

I think if players listed are out, then they’ll likely be out final game too. Laporte looks ligament to me, Fern hamstring. No Villa game not a given.
As you say, Just need to patch up, play our usual game and try to win.

 

[jim tolmies perm]

Laporte is not "out" ffs!
Bang on knee , he'll be fine
Him and Ake Sunday
Chill
