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).

      Gonna need a bigger sofa. Although Vardy did score so they're even right now. All depends on Lukaku (c)...and the other 80 mins here 😉

    Lukaku (C) fail

    Who needs a 7-8m bench when players under 7 (Alli and Ighalo) are scoring every other week and Aguero is 13 mil and scoring freely.

    Sorry Mark.

    You cannot go without Aguero. Mark is so wrong!

      You clearly can, it's just not very pleasant and you need brilliant judgement and plenty of luck.

      He's clearly in a league of his own, I'm not disputing that - I've backed him for weeks before the 25-point haul which I captained him for.

      I'm only trying to resist because I don't want to roll out a template budget defence, Alli, KDB, Ozil, Payet, Luk, Kane, Aguero XI every week. I almost went to sleep typing that team out.

      Seems I won't be able to, which would be a real shame.

        Three weeks ago I shipped out the entire template and brought in only players who less than 20 percent ownership, including Aguero. Not sure that it is too late to get him in since the price will cap his ownership.

      1. Worzel Gummidge
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Unlucky. You can't have them all so you have compromised having Ighalo instead of Lukaku.

        Lol Jenkinson. Injure yourself while giving away a penalty and come off after 10 minutes. His work here is done

            Maybe not from you.

            But some will panic.

            It's all good fun!
