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).

        Best player on the pitch

        1. Ten Season Wonder
          • 12 Years

          100% agree here.

          How can anyone say he's not been in the game is beyond me

    Why does nobody pass to kdb

    1. Barrier Freeman
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Cause he's ginger.

      Maybe 'cause anywhere near the box he is selfish and often takes a shot when he should dish it off to my captain Sergio Aguero. 🙂

  6. Hect.OR 98th

    KDB and Ighalo to Alli and Aguero for a hit just about balanced so far. Ighalo has been a nightmare for me. I've timed my ownership of him completely wrong.

  7. Acquafresca

    Sterling coming on for Navas.

    Hopefully to win a PK.

      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Sterling is not injured.

        • 10 Years

    Where is Jonty now?

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      What why?

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Aguero is essential

        1. applebonkers

          • 16 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          i did like his comment about how aguero scoring a hattrick would be bad for non owners. sure he meant something more insightful in his head but that's basically how it came out

          1. Ginkapo FPL
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            His whole rant just stunk of close mindedness.

  9. Krul Runnings
    • 10 Years

    Wish City would create some more chances

    Aguero 2nd goal would be massive for me

    1. Hect.OR 98th
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Me too. Everyone around me captained Lukaku.

  10. Piggs Boson

    Jayden coming on.

    1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent

      Jaymes?

        I put too many y's in, didn't I? 🙂

  11. Syd.

    I would've took Silva off and played KDB through the middle

    1. Bøwstring The Carp
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Yup same

  12. Barrier Freeman
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Navas is like Walcott without the end product.

      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Walcott doesn't have end product.

      He's overrated and not much better than Navas.

    1. Hect.OR 98th
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Like Walcott then.

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Not even remotely close in terms of playstyle.

      1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil

        This.

  13. S.Kuqi

    That pitch looks to be in really bad shape

    City have been dreadful

        Not as bad as your posts.

              They need to ditch Yaya and soon. He may still have the odd goal and assist in him but it doesn't make up for what they lose defensively.

          2. tm245
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            Who's better, Zaha or Sterling?

              • 10 Years
              10 years, 2 months ago

              Both have much in common, the biggest similarity is that they are both over-priced and over-rated English flops.

            2. Wilshere Knowledge
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 2 months ago

              Obviously Sterling.

          3. Barrier Freeman
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            I for one fully support Sterling's adventures in facial hair.

            Unlike Norwich vs Liverpool you don't get the feeling goals are imminent.
            Speaking of goals imminent Jonty got vardy, alli and kane.

            He's about 5 foot tall....
