Haaland and Foden to start — Man City predicted line up vs West Ham
06.08.2022 - 17:23 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester City kick-off their defence of the Premier League title with a trip to face West Ham United at the London Stadium.
The Blues secured back-to-back triumphs in the most dramatic fashion on the final day of last season. After falling 2-0 down with 15 minutes to play against Aston villa, Ilkay Gundogan's brace, either side of Rodri's long range strike, handed Pep Guardiola his 11th trophy on English soil.
It also means City have won four of the last five Premier League's on offer — further reinforcing Guardiola's dominance. But, as usual, City have to dust themselves down and go again in the hope of retaining their crown for the third consecutive year.

It was perhaps a surprise to see Ederson play last Saturday. Guardiola normally lets the back-up goalkeeper play in the domestic cup competitions, but against a team like Liverpool, the manager needed his expertise on the ball — and that will not change this weekend. The Brazilian will continue his usual Premier League duties.
City have missed out on Marc Cucurella, but Joao Cancelo was always going to start the majority of games at left-back, with Kyle Walker his full-back partner on the right.
Centre-back may throw up a bit of a dilemma, with John Stones back and available for selection. However, Guardiola will likely trust the pairing of Ruben Dias and Nathan Aké to continue their blossoming pre-season partnership and start the season
