West Ham United (A) - Sat 31st August, 17:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[MCFC1993]

Kick off time 17:30 (BST). Live on Sky Sports for those in the UK.

Last game before the international break, West Ham had a good win today, we've had a perfect start, be nice to keep that up.

Wouldn't be surprised to see an unchanged lineup.

Same starting eleven again or maybe Phil for Bernardo.
Cleansheet would be nice too.
City tearing Cockneys apart AGAIN.

And I thought we were supposed to be behind you lot.

Hope we give these Johnny come lately's a good old kicking.

6-0 please.

Tough one but the key is to score first. Ever since they became something other than a free win during the pandemic it's become a slog and/or dropped points when we've conceded first at the London Stadium. They have had a great window so we may need to move it up a gear even though we've started the season well.

20/21: Conceded first, 1-1 draw
21/22: Conceded the first two goals, 2-2 draw
22/23: Scored first, routine 2-0 win
23/24: Conceded first, needed a 76th minute winner

Will be one of our hardest games of the season

If it really is 31st July at least that means Bobb can play
