Manchester City Starting XI Prediction at West Ham United
Manchester City visits West Ham United on Saturday, and it'll be the next edition in what has been a very lopsided series. Since Pep Guardiola took control of Man City in 2016 they have never lost a league fixture to the Hammers.

Things … [Read more...] about Manchester City Starting XI Prediction at West Ham United

Erling Haaland gets all the headlines, with Kevin De Bruyne not too far behind him, in this regard, but Rodri is the sparkplug that makes the Manchester City engine roar. The midfield maestro is just as important to City's success as Haaland, De Bruyne, Ruben Dias, Phil Foden etc. Due to match fitness issues Rodri has not featured yet this season, so he is thus a doubt for … [Read more...] about Man City Team News at West Ham: Rodri, Phil Foden, Mateo Kovacic

Man City Starting XI Prediction at Chelsea FC
Sunday is not just the season opener for Manchester City, it's also a "getting the band back together" kind of game. So you could say this is like Jake and Elwood Blues, from The Blues Brothers. Kind of. Sort of. As the Cityzens visit Chelsea FC, the hosts will have to prepare for a really strong first team. Much like with Mikel Arteta at Arsenal, Pep Guardiola will break in … [Read more...] about Man City Starting XI Prediction at Chelsea FC
