Manchester City kicks off their 2025 Premier League season with a home fixture against struggling West Ham United. The reigning champions recently broke a winless streak with a vital win over Leicester City, thanks to a standout performance from Savinho.
Despite their recent poor form, City is expected to secure a victory against West Ham. However, their home performance has been lackluster, with only one win in their last five games at the Etihad Stadium. Meanwhile, West Ham comes off a heavy 5-0 defeat to Liverpool, putting more pressure on head coach Julen Lopetegui.
City will be missing key players, including Ruben Dias, Rodri, and Oscar Bobb. For West Ham, the loss of Jarrod Bowen due to a fractured foot is a significant setback. Additionally, Michail Antonio and Lukasz Fabianski are out with injuries.
Man City’s predicted lineup (3-2-4-1): Ortega; Akanji, Ake, Gvardiol; Lewis, Kovacic; Foden, De Bruyne, Silva, Savinho; Haaland.
West Ham’s predicted lineup (4-2-3-1): Areola; Wan-Bissaka, Todibo, Kilman, Emerson; Soucek, Alvarez; Kudus, Paqueta, Summerville; Fullkrug.
