A very interesting weekend match to watch when the two teams meet again is Manchester City against West Ham. Previously, in the first match last season, West Ham lost without being able to score a goal 2-0 against Manchester City. And now is the time for West Ham to show their defensive prowess against Manchester City and avenge their defeat in the previous match, or even later the two teams will draw with a score of 1-1.
So far West Ham are doing well, they haven't had a defeat. They have 10 points, that's much better than Man United. But injury problems make it very difficult for West Ham to win. West Ham right-back Vladimir Coufal is reportedly with a minor injury, currently he is still with the Czech Republic to recover. He is one of the best right-backs and has been a regular appearance, no other player has had the same ability as him.
Apart from that, West Ham also has good goal productivity by being able to score 9 goals so far. We cannot deny that Manchester City is a strong candidate to win this match, but with what West Ham can show so far, it gives hope that they will be able to make things difficult for Manchester City.
I see West Ham will take advantage of counter attacks and play deeper. We know that Manchester City has good possession of the ball, that is the basic reason why I say West Ham's strategy will focus more on defense and rely on fast counter attacks.
