Man City face a trip to West Ham United for their Premier League opening game on Sunday afternoon, so we simulated the game to get a score prediction.

FIFA 22 predicts that Man City could breeze to a 2-0 win on Sunday afternoon, with Guardiola's side unlucky not to score more. Haaland was brought down in the box by Dawson with five minutes remaining, giving Guardiola's side the chance to make it three. A quick passing move saw City make seven passes inside the West Ham box, looking for a gap to break through. To complete this simulation, we used FIFA 22 and updated the squads with the latest transfers. John Stones is also yet to return to feature in pre-season, so it will most likely be Nathan Ake partnering Ruben Dias. Pep Guardiola will be hoping for a more straightforward result this time round, with almost a fully-fit squad at his disposal.

Manchester City kick off the new season as they begin their title defence at West Ham this afternoon.

They struggled here two years ago when Phil Foden was needed off the bench to salvage a draw, were knocked out of the Carabao Cup last season and then fell two goals behind in May before coming from behind in the second half only for Riyad Mahrez to miss a penalty to win it. Liverpool's result at Fulham yesterday possibly makes things easier for them though, and Guardiola may well remind people that City lost their first game last season at Spurs but still went on to win the title. But this is a tough game to kick off the Premier League season, and Guardiola may opt for a more familiar Dias-Stones pairing. He’s fitter than Erling Haaland at the moment and in better form after pre-season, but will surely start on the bench because he’s not Erling Haaland. City have stressed that Alvarez needs time, even though he didn’t take long to make an impact last weekend. They’ll have to be better than they were last weekend to get off to a good start today. Haaland says he will use that outing as motivation for City's Premier League kick-off, and Pep Guardiola isn't concerned as he warned: "Be careful what you say because he's going to deny all the opinions and score goals." Rico Lewis and Josh Wilson-Esbrand are with the squad at the London Stadium, and that’s not much of a surprise. It took Erling Haaland 12 minutes to announce himself as a Manchester City goalscorer in pre-season, and apparently just 90 minutes against Liverpool to become a flop again. Both are the back-up options at wing-back as City have very few options in those areas, and both will be looking to build on their promising pre-season performances. There probably isn’t too much to look into in terms of Bernardo starting on the bench. Bernardo being on the bench will only fuel the thought that something isn’t quite right amid Barcelona’s very public pursuit of him, but there are footballing reasons to start Ilkay Gundogan today.

He made a big impact with his performances for Burnley last season and he has impressed me with his desire to improve and challenge himself further here at West Ham.” Pep Guardiola’s side have undergone a transformation this summer, bringing in arguably the world’s best striker in Erling Haaland, while losing Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus.

Nothing.

It’s also worth noting that without oil money, Man United might’ve won every title from 07-13, also not healthy, but that said, I’d totally be behind a salary cap and anything else that took state wealth and similar out of the equation.

These types of manager produce teams which at their best are mechanically effective but they lack a more holistic vision for the game, there is no big idea and it’s becoming increasingly clear that at the rarefied level at the elite of the elite you maybe need one.

Antonio did well a few minutes ago to draw a foul out of Dias on the halfway line. Cancelo with a really good run to take the visitors up the pitch. Antonio really good at charging down the ball following a Soucek punt up field. They may not win it back all of the the time, but City know what they are up against. City seeing a lot of the ball but it is very deep in their own half a lot of the time. Fell out to Rice who blazed over the bar from the edge of the box. His run and pass fell to Foden who put in the perfect cross. Somehow it evaded Haaland when he was unmarked and it goes just wide. Big chance for the Hammers. Gundogan's pass cut out by Lanzini. Worked across to Antonio, who played it wide. Areola comes on for West Ham as Fabianski goes off injured before the half hour mark. Erling Haaland gets his second of the game and City's second. Scamacca a real outlet and his presence and flick on started that move.

West Ham vs Man City: The defending Premier League champions will begin their quest for a third straight title when they visit the London Stadium on Sunday.

Of course, finishing in the top six once every couple years doesn’t make you a top-six side, and so West Ham’s big question is this: Can they realistically make the next step up without spending $100 million every summer for the next three years, a la the big-six sides? After winning six of the last 11 Premier League titles, Manchester City can now become the first side to pull off a three-peat since rivals Manchester United did it from 2006-2009. West Ham, meanwhile, are looking to build upon last season’s 7th-place finish, just one point back of Manchester United.

Erling Haaland is handed his Premier League debut as City make two changes from the side that began the Community Shield for our league opener at West Ham.

• City suffered a 1-0 away defeat to Spurs in their opening league match last term - it was their only away loss in the top flight last season. • Manchester City have lost just one of their last 28 Premier League games (W23, D4), and are unbeaten in their last 12 (W9, D3). We last opened the season away to West Ham on the opening day of the 2019/20 campaign, roaring to a 5-0 success at the London Stadium.

Soccer Football - Premier League - West Ham United v Manchester City - London Stadium, Haaland scored twice on his Premier League debut (Photo: Reuters).

7/10 Unclear how many games he has left at City. 6/10 Very nearly gave Haaland his hattrick with a neat pullback. Erling Haaland – Tried to stretch his neck to connect with a dinked Foden cross that could have resulted a debut goal. Stifling the Man City midfield is a two-man job (at least). 6/10 Ilkay Gundogan – Broke the lines at will and provided the pass for Haaland to win his first-half penalty. Does the kind of work that allows Gundogan and De Bruyne to flourish. Kevin De Bruyne – Thought he had opened the scoring in the first half before Gundogan was flagged for offside. Kurt Zouma – Looked a little heavy-legged when Haaland sprinted away from him in the second half and even more so after an Alvarez shot absolutely smashed him flush in the face in added time. Far better defenders will be made to look silly by him. Ben Johnson – Got his body position wrong when Haaland started accelerating past him and could not get turned around in time to react. Lukaz Fabianski – A little shaky early on, heading a ball that he might have been able to wait and catch, before flapping at a De Bruyne cross.

Erling Haaland and Manchester City sent a warning to the rest of the Premier League in their 2-0 win over West Ham United on Sunday in London.

One of the world’s very best footballers. The big Norwegian was a threat to score in nearly every possession. Rodri: He’s just always there. Kevin De Bruyne: Heard of him? 🔥 My word, what a duo. Erling Haaland and Manchester City sent a warning to the rest of the Premier League in their 2-0 win over West Ham United at London’s Olympic Stadium on Sunday.

Haaland became the first player to score a penalty on his Premier League debut since Jorginho for Chelsea against Huddersfield in August 2018.

Erling Haaland marked his first Premier League game with both goals as Man City opened the campaign with an ominously dominant win at West Ham.

They travel to newly promoted Nottingham Forest in the Premier League (Aug. 14) before facing the first leg of their UEFA Europa Conference League playoff opponent at home (Aug. 18) and then hosting Brighton (Aug. 21) in the Premier League. (Their Europa opponent? With two years left to run on his contract, West Ham may have to offload Rice next summer if he fails to agree a new deal, but if a big offer comes in before the Aug. 31 transfer deadline, it could be tempting for both West Ham and Rice to make the move happen. But although he remains a West Ham player, there is still time for a bigger, wealthier club to make a move for the England international this month, and there are two in particular -- Chelsea and Manchester United -- who have been long-term admirers of Rice and who both still need midfield reinforcements. But the former Paris Saint-Germain keeper, who replaced the injured Lukasz Fabianski on 29 minutes, gifted City the opening goal just seven minutes after going on when he raced off his line and fouled Haaland with a reckless dive that resulted in a penalty. In terms of dominating the game, there were times when City had more than 75% of possession, and this was against a West Ham team that almost clinched a top-six finish last season. If their slick performance against West Ham is a gauge of what is to come, however, the chasing pack will have to sprint just to keep up. Also, it's been almost 30 minutes since I scored the last goal, so I have to keep going." But Haaland scored both goals as City made a winning start to the defence of their title and their star signing showed that he will be a huge asset to Pep Guardiola's team. There was certainly no rust in the win at the London Stadium. Erling Haaland's two goals got the new signing off the mark, and he has added greater potency to a team that already scored plenty. Meanwhile, his second was a classic striker's goal, one that underlined his pace, movement and nerveless ability to beat a keeper in a one-on-one situation. It's fair to say he is already living up to the job description. His first was from the penalty spot after his clever run behind the Hammers' defence was picked out by Ilkay Gundogan. After showing impressive pace to beat Hammers substitute goalkeeper Alphonse Areola to the ball and earn the penalty, Haaland sent him the wrong way from the spot with a precise penalty that nestled in the corner of the net.

We found it hard to outnumber them in the middle of the pitch. We talk about the team, the way we want to play, the way we want to create chances. "We tried to do it, but we couldn't get near them today. "We hung in, stuck at it, against a team that have completely outplayed us. I hope that next time we play them we might be able to offer something different. We want to try and give everything to him to become a better player. The Norway international predictably found the back of the net with a coolly-struck spot-kick to make the breakthrough (26), but it was his second entry that pleased manager Guardiola most. The way he took the ball for the penalty, I like that. We found the right moments with the goals today." Feel happy in the city, feel happy in the team. The match was over when Haaland raced onto De Bruyne's through ball nine minutes after Rice's miss, leaving Areola stranded as he swept into the far corner. "We make an exceptional performance everywhere today.
