Man City's strongest starting XI for first Premier League fixture at West Ham
17.06.2022 - 08:35 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Erling Haaland could make his Premier League debut at West Ham, after Manchester City were given a trip to the London Stadium to open their 202/23 campaign.
City face Liverpool in the Community Shield the week before their trip to London, where Haaland could make his first domestic outing at his new club, and he will be with the squad for their tour of the USA in July. For the Premier League, though, he looks set to make his bow at West Ham, before a potential home debut against Bournemouth the following week.
West Ham held City to a 2-2 draw at the end of last season at a noisy London Stadium, and City will need to be at their best from the start to begin the season with three points.

Ederson will keep his place in goal this season, with Pep Guardiola facing a similar set of decisions in defence for 2022/23. Ruben Dias will likely be first choice in central defence. Then, it's up to John Stones and Aymeric Laporte to compete for the spot next to him, with Laporte often favoured to offer a left-footed option.
Kyle Walker and Joao Cancelo are the strongest full-back options, with Cancelo on the left, although Aleks Zinchenko is always a strong option, and a new left-back could also arrive to create competition.
Rodri, Kevin De Bruyne and Bernardo will be City's strongest midfield trio, with defensive midfield another area City could strengthen.
In attack, Haaland should be first choice in attack and will need games to adapt to his new surroundings through the middle. Julian Alvarez should be eased in to action after playing through the summer with River Plate.
On the wings, Phil Foden, Raheem Sterling, Riyad Mahrez,
