MCI vs WHU Dream11 Match Preview, Team News, Lineups

Pep Guardiola knows that he can carve out his name in the Premier League history books if he manages to guide Manchester City to their 3rd consecutive League title.

For no English team since Alex Ferguson‘s Manchester United have won three League titles on the trot, and the bookies have made City the team to achieve this unique feat.

The Cityzens are not favorite because they are champions, but Pep has managed to add more quality players to an already incredible roster, while Liverpool just did the opposite, failing to add anything of significance to their squad.

West Ham, meanwhile, have their own high ambitions to work for. Their move to the Olympic Stadium was always fueled by the very idea that they are big enough to break into the top four.

Though, it’s a long process and turning this hypothetical looking idea into a reality will definitely take time.

But the Hammers have laid down a good foundation, with Manuel Pellegrini splashing huge money on the new arrivals.

It’s a good summer to build on for West Ham United.

The Premier League match will be played between West Ham United and Manchester City at London Stadium, in London, England. The ground has a capacity of 60,000.

• Club captain Mark Noble has been ruled out due to a dead leg. It’s a blow for the home team as the 32-year-old brings a wide range of aspects to the game.
• He is the only injury absentee for the hosts ahead of the season opener against Manchester City.

Possible INs and OUTs of this game:

• Manuel Pellegrini is expected to hand a debut to their record signing Sebastien Haller and midfielder Pablo Fornals.
• Goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski has recovered from a groin problem, while Jack Wilshere is declared fit to feature.
• Though, Fabianksi is definitely the first choice, the same can’t be said about Wilshere who has to fight for his place in this team.
• Declan Rice is expected to start in the midfield, with Fornals, Lanzini, and Filipe Anderson stocking up the other areas of the midfield and the wings.

West Ham United Probable XI:

Fabianski (GK), Fredericks, Diop, Balbuena, Cresswell, Rice; Antonio, Fornals, Lanzini, Anderson, Haller

• Leroy Sane will be spending the most part of this season on the sidelines after damaging the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during the Community Shield match against Liverpool.
• Left-back Benjamin Mendy remains out injured as well.
• Pep Guardiola confirms that he will monitor both Aymeric Laporte and Fernandinho before the game. The duo missed the game against Liverpool at Wembley.

Possible ins or outs of this game:

• Considering City’s busy summer transfer window, a lot of players will be fighting for places this season.
• Though Rodrigo is a sure shot for a No-6 role here due to Fernandinho’s fitness issues, while the wing-back positions are expected to be taken up by Kyle Walker and Oleksandr Zinchenko.
• Joao Cancelo has joined the Etihad outfit, but at this moment, Walker looks ahead in the pecking order.

We’ve got our man! ?

Welcome to the Champions, João Cancelo!

Manchester City Probable XI:

Ederson (GK), Walker, Laporte, Stones, Zinchenko, David Silva, Rodri, De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, Sterling, Aguero

Potential Game Changers:

• Filipe Anderson
• Manuel Lanzini
• Sergio Aguero
• Raheem Sterling
• Bernardo Silva

Likely to score:

• For West Ham United: Filipe Anderson, Sebastien Haller
• For Manchester City: Sergio Aguero, Raheem Sterling

Captain and Vice-Captain Selection:

Sergio Aguero: The Argentine has always been City’s highest goal scorer ever since he made his move from Atletico Madrid to England. The fight for the Golden Boot starts from here and the 32-year-old will be aiming to start with a bang.

Last season’s stats:

• Games: 46
• Goals: 32
• Assists: 10
• Minutes: 3370

Manuel Lanzini: Clearly, one of the best players in this West Ham’s team. However, fitness has always been the obstacle stopping him from playing at his full capability in the last few seasons or so. But the 26-year-old has had a strong pre-season and if he stays fit, West Ham have the depth to challenge for the top-six.

Raheem Sterling: Stats suggest that the former Liverpool player is improving every season as far as scoring goals is concerned. With Sane out, he is key to Pep Guardiola’s plans this season.

Last season’s stats:

• Games: 51
• Goals: 25
• Assists: 18
• Minutes: 4,097

Kevin de Bruyne: One of the reasons why City remain favorites this season is because De Bruyne starts the season with 100% fitness. The Belgian can be the very best in the world and Pep knows how critical he is for his team.

Suggested combination:

Manchester City will be the favorites to win the match.
