West Ham United vs Manchester City
The defending champions, Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, will visit London Stadium on Saturday, August 31, to take on West Ham United after starting their 2024-25 Premier League season on a high. City began their fifth straight title defence in the exact way their fans would have hoped for, by winning both of their matches so far this season.
City began their season by beating Chelsea 2-0 at Stamford Bridge before defeating Ipswich Town 4-1 at Etihad Stadium. They are once again riding on the form of Erling Haaland and his partnership with Kevin De Bruyne. The striker already has four goals this season, including a hat-trick against Ipswich in their home game.
On the other hand, West Ham had a mixed start to their season as they lost 1-2 to Aston Villa in their opener before defeating Crystal Palace 2-0 in their second match. West Ham manager Julen Lopetegui will hope to keep their campaign on the right track by getting the better of the defending champions at their home ground on Saturday.
