David Gold brimming with confidence ahead of EPL curtain-raiser as he can’t wait for Manchester City clash

West Ham United will kick off their 2019-2020 English Premier League campaign with a clash against Manchester City on Saturday. Manager Manuel Pellegrini will be hoping to get one over his former side, and his players have to be in perfect form to have a chance against the defending champions. Pep Guardiola’s side blew West Ham away 4-1 a few weeks ago at the Premier League Asia Trophy, and did leave the London Stadium with the same scoreline the last time they visited.

However, the Hammers now have a better squad after bringing in Spanish midfielder Pablo Fornals from Villarreal and French striker Sebastien Haller from Eintracht Frankfurt.
