West Ham v Man City
Saturday, August 11, 3pm.

LAST MEETING: West Ham 0 Man City 1 (Premier League, 30-12-2006).

HEAD-TO-HEAD: West Ham 34, Man City 36, draws 12.

FORM: With the arrival of a new owner Thaksin Shinawatra, manager Sven Goran Eriksson and eight summer signings Man City are certainly in a state of transition. But while the Blues lost 1-0 to Valencia on Saturday, they won four of their previous five pre-season friendlies.

DANGER MAN: New £4.7m signing Martin Petrov terroised defenders down the left flank in La Liga for Atletico Madrid, but can the Bulgarian winger replicate his form in the Premier League?

FUN FACT: Manchester City boasts an array of supporters from all corners of the sporting spectrum - including Rugby World Cup winner Will Greenwood, boxer Ricky Hatton (pictured), cricketer Andrew Flintoff, comedian Eddie Large and the late Bernard Manning.

PREDICTION: West Ham 2 Man City 0.
