Manchester City Starting XI Prediction at West Ham United

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

Man City Team News at West Ham: Rodri, Phil Foden, Mateo Kovacic

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
