The best attack in the Premiership meets the worst defence as struggling West Ham travel to league leaders Man City this weekend. It’s the beginning of a tough set of fixtures for the Hammers, with Chelsea and Arsenal waiting for them at the London Stadium after their trip to the Etihad.
The Hammers were thrashed 4-0 by manager David Moyes’ former team Everton in midweek, with Wayne Rooney scoring his first hat trick at Goodison Park since his return from Manchester United.
The visitors were left ruing a crucial penalty miss from star playmaker Manuel Lanzini, who had his spot kick saved by the impressive Jordan Pickford when Everton were 2-0 ahead. But there were few positives to take home from the game, with the four goals conceded giving the Irons the unwanted tag of having the worst defence in the league.
