The curtains are drawn on Saturday’s Premier League action as West Ham United and Manchester City clash at the Boleyn Ground. The Hammers’ eight-match unbeaten streak was arrested at the hands of Newcastle United last Gameweek, while the Sky Blues have won three and drawn two of their previous five match-ups.

With eight goals and the third-most shots on target (22) over the last four Gameweeks, the Hammers boast one of the league’s form attacks. Additionally, Slaven Bilic’s recruits limited their opposition to four goals, illustrating the balance in their play. In terms of West Ham’s home form, they haven’t lost on their own turf since Gameweek 3, which suggests that the visitors are in for a challenging afternoon.

Man City chalked up more shots inside the box (46) than any side over the last four Gameweeks but ranked in the bottom six for shot-conversion rate (7.9%). On the defensive end, the Sky Blues conceded the joint-fewest goals (one) and the fifth-fewest shots inside the box (23), underlining their improvement at the back. Investors in their offense might be concerned that they rank in the bottom five for goals in away matches (10).

    Terrible from KDB - even worse from Yaya...

    1. Rossamous
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah KDB sucks

    2. davies
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He's massively overrated

      1. Latchmere Wave Machine
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        He turns up for Xmas, everytime

  2. Alittude
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Might have to do kdb to payet very soon

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Might have to do KdB to anyone else soon.

  3. Rossamous
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    KDB to Formino FT?

    1. The Royal Robin
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I've already done this exact move.

  4. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Is Payet trying to show off deliberately? He could easily fit into any team in the PL, might be trying to sway City's heads!

    1. HammersFan
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He actually enjoys playing for us and was in tears when he returned from injury due to the support from the fans. He wont leave.

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Yet.

        1. ry ry
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Barcelona just offered 100mil, he's having a medical at half time, they're picking him up after the match.

    I'm in love with Dimitri Payet.

    1. Rossamous
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Dude get your own Dmitri Payet. Everyone loves him too

  6. Jazz!
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I may do Ozil > Silva...

    1. The Royal Robin
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Bit of a sideways step IMHO.

  7. French Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    How long till City buy Payet ?

  8. Sif
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Payet was abandoned as a child and raised by a wild football.

    1. KingOllie
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      LOL

    2. Zizoulicious
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Haha

  9. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Really can't see Payet being at Wham next season.. If I owned one of the big clubs I'd be offering big money in January

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      how much for?

    2. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Which club though? can only think of man u

    3. Zizoulicious
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      W.Ham challenging for top four and trying to turn into a big club. I really think he'll be there next year

    4. HammersFan
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He will stay 100%

      He actually loves playing for the club and wants to win with us. Had a good article about how he was in tears coming back onto the pitch after his long lay off due to the reception from the fans.

      Also Olympic Stadium next season, the only way for us is up!

  10. Sailboats
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Payet.. wow

  11. davies
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Who replaces Yaya in the summer?

    1. Bøwstring The Carp
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Pogba

  12. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    @Ayewserious didn't you say you were unsure about Payet's position? He's involved in everything.

    1. tm245
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He seemed wide at the beginning but has drifted in since then.

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I think he plays a very free role mostly in the hole tbh

        1. tm245
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah, looks that way.

    2. Ayew Serious
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Oh, ye.
      He's came inside, was very peripheral at the start

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Aha

  13. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Going to be tricky to choose best perm of three from this five:

    A. KDB
    B. Ozil
    C. Payet
    D. Sanchez
    E. Firmino

    1. Relaxing

    ideas please to fill in the two gaps! 🙂

    1. Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      You can't afford that team. Restructure it.

    2. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Targett instead of Oxford. Downgrade Barks.

    3. WWW.
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Targett & Defoe

  15. Cov
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Payet world class!!!

  16. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Yaya looks drunk.

  17. Guy Demel's SH
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I love that we have Payet and Collins in the same team. Opposite ends of the scale 😆

  18. GAMBIT
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Is Aguero enough cover for the city attack? Getting tired of KdB

  19. Jazz!
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Delph and Fernandinho need to pair in the double pivot. 2 hard working lads

    1. davies
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Not quite Drinkwater & Kante though is it?

      1. Jazz!
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Nah

  20. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Payet is classy. He would definitely take you for a meal and wine before banging you.

      1. Venom Snake
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Whilst juggling a football

      2. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Vardy would just take you round the back of the chip shop to do the deed.

      3. Champ
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Hee hee

    • Your Mum's Athletic
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      KDB is out for me, now to work out who to bring in, Sanchez straight in maybe

      1. SANTACLAUS
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Firmino?

        1. Your Mum's Athletic
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          the potential blanks are a big turn off

      2. French Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        this - KDB is transparent away from home

      3. Zizoulicious
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Firmino or sanchez

        1. Your Mum's Athletic
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          kdb < sanchez + Mahrez < Alli perhaps

          1. Zizoulicious
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah like those moves!

    • KUN+10
      • 11 Years

    • JoeJitzu +42
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Ok ok sh*t has hit the fan.... So many bad decisions (benching Alli & Simpson and no playing keeper Myhill & McCarthy)

      I have 2FT but 0 ITB, what do I do?

      Myhill McCarthy
      Alderweireld Bellerin Jagielka Simpson Smith
      KdB Ozil Payet Alli Mahrez

      1. KUN+10

    • Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I seriously need to get Payet next gameweek. 3 of the hammers next 4 are against Villa, Norwich and Sunderland.

    • Bøwstring The Carp
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      What will be the next template midfield?

      Sanchez/ Alli/ Payet/ Firmino

      1. Relaxing
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Seems likely depending how Ozil gets on

      2. Ayew Serious
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Don't write off Ozil

      3. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Ozil/Alli/Payet/Mahrez maybe

      4. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I currently have KDB, Barkley, Ozil, Alli, Payet
