West Ham United (A) - Sat 16th Sept, 15:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[Blu1]

We have something different about us this season & our boys want to win the lot! Again. Don’t see us dropping many points this campaign

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

I'll be surprised if we drop points today

 

[its a Barm]

I feel sad saying it but no Phillips please.

 

[Blue Maverick]

I'll be surprised if we drop points today

Won’t be as easy as some think, hoping for a clean sheet and 2-0, but I’ll take any win to get us back into our groove again, bloody internationals :(

Up for this one. I've gone with a draw because I think it'll be tough, we've got injuries and a couple of players who we'll need to rely on today have flown a fair distance during the internationals.

I'd take the ugliest 1-0 win right now but I hope we're on it.

Aye, you're right, 0-1 will do

Should be tough but we should be good enough to win regardless. Think we’ll see the same team as against Fulham bar Bernardo in for Kovacic. Heed to defend our set pieces a lot better with a tbig West Ham side and Ward Prowse’s usually excellent delivery. Foden, Haaland, Rodri and Alvarez have starts the season well so we should have enough.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Can’t really pick a line up for this one, Pep could go really left field having had four weeks on the sidelines to mull over the squad

i wouldn’t be surprised to see a double pivot with Phillips and Rodri

if not we could see lewis come in to play that role

i think in the forward positions the only choice is whether Doku plays , otherwise can’t see anything other than Bernardo and Phil on the wings

Ederson

Walker Dias Ake Gvardiol

Rodri Phillips

Bernado Julian Phil

Haaland

I think it’ll be Nunes rather than Phillips, plus Pep always seems to pick Akanji too.

How far is it from there to the ground?

10 / 15 minutes

significant drift in City's odds again this morning-implied win probability from 68% down to 60%.
