City. Then utd & Brentford in between the ucl semi-final ties, could be a huge risk going into the last 2 games needing 3 points if they target the semis & get beat
It would be a huge risk going all out trying to beat a team that rarely loses at home, rarely drops points at all in a title run-in, hasn’t lost in two months, and would likely beat you even if you went full strength.

That’s especially when you are still in Europe and play the two favourites to go down in the final two matches.
 
Think we'll be fine. West Ham might not be playing their European matches til next week but their big players will all have one eye on wanting to play in a European semi-final. Plus, they know that one more win will basically see them over the line and they've got a home game against Leeds to secure that.
 
Didn't do too badly in the opening fixture. Set pieces and pace on the break are the only real concerns with this West Ham team.

Yep they are a danger from set pieces, scored 3 at Palace, so need to avoid giving cheap free kicks away
 
Bowen & Antonio are a threat (if they play) but compared to last seasons away tie, we don't have a one legged Laporte & Zinchenko on the left side of defence
Cancelo, Fernandinho, Laporte & Zinchenko were out back 4 for that game, forgot how many injuries we kept picking up in defence.

Defence is night and day in comparison to tomorrow’s line up.
 
These 3 points are as important as 3 points vs Arsenal. Our bench is good enough to replace injured KDB. I dont expect more than 2 changes from last game. I expect Bernardo to play in midfield. Ake will come on second half to gain match fitness.
Ederson
Walker-Dias-Akanji
Stones-Rodri
Mahrez-Bernardo-Alvarez-Grealish

Don't they play the 2 legged conference league ties in the same weeks as we play Real Madrid
West Ham dont have a squad of 50 galaticos like City.
He’s very tuned in at WHU is the Central chap. Not saying it’s accurate they’ll rest many, but he certainly gets info.
 
Agreed. But that is a completely different discussion to the one I was having with @Keeper!. We are talking about whether Moyes would target getting the three points they likely still need to make sure they stay up against City.

And I maintain that not even Moyes is stupid enough to go all out against us, potentially comprising his squad’s fitness in the much more manageable (and important) games to come.
I agree. I think Moyes will come for a point (as usual) but it will backfire (as usual).

I hope Ake is fit and if not then Akanji has done great on the left with Grealish doing lots of defensive work in front of him. I am more worried by our right side after the Fulham match and the way Walker played. I think Stones may go back to right back if Ake is fit.
 
Wallet not updated,still got Arsenal on it(android),any clues Blues?
If it is a season ticket then it shouldn’t matter, the code remains the same between matches, and I believe the scan only checks to see if you have an active season ticket and should be allowed in to the match.
