West Ham will look to build on their good season last year, with the Hammers reaching the semi-sinal stage of the Europa League, before just missing out on a top six finish to finish seventh, meaning they will play in the Europa Conference League this season. Holders Manchester City have finally acquired Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund, which has caught the eye of all pundits and fans. They are expecting big things from him if they are to retain their Premier League crown at the end of the season. Last season, this fixture played host to Mark Noble's final home league game, in which Riyad Mahrez missed a late penalty for City. It finished 2-2 at the London Stadium. With the signing of Haaland, Manchester City will be looking to better their result last season and start the campaign off by taking three points from their opening fixture, something which they failed to do last season. 1:2
