Manchester City begin their title defence with a tricky trip to face West Ham at the London Stadium.

Pep Guardiola’s men lifted the Community Shield last weekend with a penalty shoot-out victory over Liverpool, but weren’t entirely convincing on the day.

Man City went ahead through Raheem Sterling – who should have put the game to bed with a second strike – but didn’t look comfortable in the second half as the Reds took the game to them.

The West Ham medical staff will be hoping for a more peaceful season this time around following an injury-ravaged 2018/19.

Up to 11 players were out at any given time during key parts of the season, but Andriy Yarmolenko and Manuel Lanzini – two of the longer term absentees – are back in business.

Manuel Pellegrini will welcome his old side to the capital with a point to prove this weekend.

Who will win? RadioTimes.com says…

West Ham could be dark horses for a European spot this season if new target man Sebastien Haller settles well.

This is probably the best time to play City, before they properly hit their outrageous stride.

It’s hard to bet against City opening their season up with a win, but the Hammers will make it an awkward afternoon in Stratford.
