Manchester City will be kicking off their 2022/23 Premier League campaign with a visit to West Ham.

Fans of the English Premier League will be looking forward for West Ham vs Man city match which happens to be Erling Haaland’s first EPL match since arriving the club this summer. The defending champions will be hoping to defend the title thereby making it three-in-a-row, but that will definitely not be as easy as it sounds.

The Guardiola’s side are battle-ready following series of reinforcement done on the team over the transfer windows, this include the arrival of prolific striker Erling Haaland and Alvarez among others.

West Ham are not underdogs in the league in recent times as they comfortably secured a permanent spot in the top half position on the league table. Considering that the match is scheduled to take place at London Stadium, West Ham, the support from the fans on the home soil will give the players high morale to give Man City an early shock of the season.

West ham have also added some new faces to the team following the signing of Alphonse Areola from Paris Saint-Germain and Nayef Aguerd from Rennes among others.

Man City Team News

Manchester City suffered a humiliating defeat at King Power Stadium on Saturday in the 2022 Community Shield fixture against arch-rivals Liverpool. It is quite unfortunate for the Guardiola’s men who failed to convert most of their golden opportunities against the free-scoring Liverpool team.

City’s new signing made the headlines over the week after wasting two clear chances in front of an almost-empty Liverpool’s goalpost. Many have seen the Norwegian as the messiah of the team since his arrival but his performance in the game against Liverpool got both the fans and the management worried.

Alvarez came in as a substitute in the second half and handed the Cityzens an equalizer in the 70th minute thereby bringing back the hopes of the Man City fans.

Unfortunately, the introduction of Darwin Nunez rained havoc on the City team. The Red’s new signing caused a penalty in the 83rd minute which resulted to Liverpool’s second goal. And scored the third in the stoppage time to make it a total victory for the Reds at Leicester.

One may begin to wonder if Guardiola is already missing Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling. Jesus joined Arsenal in the summer transfer window as has been on fire ever since, while Sterling completed a move to London club, Chelsea.

Aside the Community Shield defeat, Man city has been in good shape in their preseason fixture as they won two out of two including a match against the German giants Bayern Munich.

West Ham Team News

West Ham have suffered a heavy injury blow as Nayef Aguerd suffered an ankle injury during their preseason match against Rangers. The 30 million pounds signing have successfully undergone an ankle surgery and has been confirmed to miss the opening game against League champions, Man City.

The Hammers have not had a smooth preseason having drawn 4, lost 1 and won 2. However, considering their recent improvement in the Premier League, it will be too early to give up on their capabilities in the next season.

It can be recalled that West Ham finished the 2019/20 season just two spots above the relegation zone, as they finished 16th with just 39 points from 38 matches. However, the Hammers miraculously finished the next season in the 6th position on the EPL table, and last season they finished in the 7th position with just 2 points behind Manchester United who finished in the 6th spot.

Considering the fact that this is going to be a home game for West Ham, no doubt they will put in all their best to make their home fans proud and picked at least a point against the Guardiola’s men.

West Ham vs Man city H2H (Head-to-head)

West Ham have played Man City for a total of 52 times in all competition with Man City emerging as the better side. City have won 32 out of the 52 matches losing 10 and drawing 10. While West Ham have not really been dominant in their fixtures but are known to keeping their home game tight and prestigious.

The Hammers have not lost any of their last 5 home games against Man City and will be looking forward to continue with their opening match in the 2022/23 EPL season.

West Ham vs Man city Prediction

Manchester City will appear to be wounded lions in the opening game at West Ham following their Community Shield defeat to Liverpool and will be looking for a consolation against West Ham.

Although it is going to be a tough one for the visitors as the home team have not lost at home to the League champions in their last 5 meetings.

By our calculations, there will not be much goals in the game and Manchester City are likely to win or draw the game. With this in mind, we give the final result in favour of the visitors.

Prediction: West Ham 1-2 Man City

Adrie van der Poel deelt verontrustend bericht over Mathieu

Published

Wout van Aert kende een dramatische afloop aan de cross in Mol, maar ook Mathieu van der Poel kwam niet ongeschonden uit deze wedstrijd. De Nederlander had het bijzonder koud, en kwam zelf eerder ook ten val. Vader Adrie zag daar een probleem.

Valpartij had invloed

Nochtans maakte Van der Poel duidelijk dat hij geen schade heeft overgehouden aan zijn tuimeling: “Eigenlijk viel ik zelfs nog zacht”, aldus de Nederlander. “Ik kreeg gewoon mijn voet niet uit mijn klikpedaal in het zand, waardoor ik stomweg omviel. Maar ik heb er gelukkig geen last van.”

Zo zag vader Adrie het echter niet tijdens de wedstrijd. In een interview met Sporza stelde hij immers dat Van der Poel last ondervond van zijn eerdere valpartij, eerder nog dan van de koude. Al voegde Adrie er ook wel aan toe dat zijn zoon niet bepaald staat te springen voor een koers in de sneeuw.

Van der Poel viseert enkel de koude

Reken daarbij nog de haast ondragelijke koude, en we kregen een verkleumde Van der Poel te zien na de finish. In zijn interviews achteraf stond hij nog steeds te bibberen, en maakte de wereldkampioen duidelijk dat hij behoorlijk hard had afgezien.

“Het was geen aangename cross. Ik heb het nu al een beetje warmer, maar ik heb zeker veel koud geleden vandaag”, luidde het bij MVDP. “Je weet ook dat wanneer je nadien weer opwarmt, het vijf minuten echt veel pijn gaat doen. Met dat gevoel was ik de laatste rondes al bezig.”

Voor Van der Poel was de conclusie dan ook duidelijk: “Dit was de moeilijkste wedstrijd van het jaar. Na een tijd hadden mijn handen en voeten zo veel koud dat het niet meer vanzelf ging.” Nu maar hopen dat vader Adrie toch geen gelijk krijgt over een mogelijke blessure, die door onderkoeling mogelijk onder de radar zou zijn gebleven.

Here is a thorough match preview on the recent performance, Current form, Head-to-Head, and statistics for Manchester United vs Chelsea – along with the latest betting tips.

Manchester United

L D L W L L
Manchester United have not been in their best performance in recent time. The red devils have only one win in their last six matches. They will be hoping to return to winning ways after the 3-1 Premier League defeat in their last game at Emirates Stadium.

In their away match at Emirates Stadium, Manchester United were outclassed by the Gunners, as the Red Devils managed 45% possession and 14 shot attempt with only 5 of them on target. Cristiano Ronaldo came to the rescue in 34th-minute after the visitors were 2-0 down.

While Arsenal on the other hand enjoyed 55% ball possession, had 14 shots with 7 on target. Two early goals from Nuno Tavares in the 3rd minute, and Bukayo Saka in the 32nd minute gave the gunners a comfortable lead. Bruno Fernandes failed to convert a spot-kick as Granit Xhaka sealed the victory for Arsenal in the 70th minute.

Manchester United’s recent performance has been worse than usual. They have conceded in all of their last 6 matches, amounting to 12 goals conceded in 6 matches. This is the kind of record every Chelsea fan will like to hear right now.

PRE-MATCH FACTS

The Red Devils have not lost any of their league matches against Chelsea in their last 8 matches. That is quite a long run between the two clubs without a loss.
However, despite their 8 matches unbeaten run against the Blues, they haven’t won against Chelsea in their last 3 premier league matches.
And lastly, Manchester United haven’t lost against Chelsea in their previous 7 league matches at home.

Chelsea

L W W W L W
Chelsea are heading into the match against Manchester United as the favorite contenders. The blues recorded a slim 1-0 victory against West Ham United in the Premier League fixture on Sunday

Chelsea who welcomed West Ham United enjoyed a 67% possession and 26 shots attempt with only 5 on target. Despite the large possession of the ball, the blue’s attack was blunt firing 21 shots off-target. Thanks to Christian Pulisic’s stoppage-time goal that secured the victory for the home team. West Ham United tried to get at least a point off the current world champions, managed 33% ball possession, and got 6 attempts with only 2 on target.

Looking at their last 6 premier league fixtures, Chelsea have won 4 and loss 2 scoring 15 goals. Remarkably, the blues scored in all of their last 6 premier league matches and conceded 9 goals.

PAST MEETINGS WITH MANCHESTER UNITED

In their previous meetings, Chelsea have not won against Manchester United at Old Trafford in the previous 8 league matches. Also, Chelsea have not been defeated in their last 5 away league matches

HEAD-TO-HEAD

This fixture is one of the biggest matches in the English Premier League. Looking at their head-to-head meetings in the Premier League stretching from the 2018/2019 season to date, both teams have met six times, Manchester United won 2 of these games while Chelsea won 1, and a record of 3 draws.

INJURY UPDATE: Manchester United

According to Manchester United coach Ralf Rangnick, the following players will not be available for the match against Chelsea at Old Trafford.

Paul Pogba (Calf Injury)

Fred (Problems with the hip flexor)

Edinson Cavani (Calf Injury)

Luke Shaw (Leg Injury)

INJURY UPDATE: Chelsea

According to Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel, only Ben Chilwell who suffered a Ruptured cruciate ligament, and will not be available for the trip to Old Trafford.

Prediction

Considering their recent performance, Manchester United will need a miracle to win all 3 points against this Chelsea side. I think the best the Red devils can do is to pick a point.
I’m tipping over 1.5 goals for this match.
