David Moyes provides West Ham team news update ahead of Manchester City
Last Updated: February 26, 2021 8:03 pm
David Moyes has, on Friday, provided a team news update on his side ahead of their meeting with Manchester City.
Man City vs West Ham
Saturday’s early Premier League kick-off will see West Ham make the trip to the Etihad to face Man City.
The Hammers head into the tie amid a fine run of form.
Their last outing saw the capital club get one over on London rivals Tottenham, to come away with a 2-1 win.
This result, in turn, saw West Ham climb up to an impressive 4th in the Premier League table.
Things are still very tight when it comes to the battle for a Champions League place, though, with all of Chelsea, Liverpool and Everton in the hunt for that 4th spot.
As a result, West Ham could really do with securing a positive result this weekend. Managing such a feat against the rampant Citizens, however, will prove easier said than done.
West Ham injury update
Ahead of Saturday’s game, meanwhile, David Moyes held his latest pre-match press conference this morning.
During the presser, the Scotsman discussed a number of topics, including team news.
And West Ham will have the majority of their key players available, with Andriy Yarmolenko and potentially Ryan Fredericks the only regular contributors set to miss out:
“No, at the moment we seem okay. We’ve still got Arthur Masuaku coming back and Yarmolenko has a medial ligament injury. Fredericks picked up a groin injury which is not serious – it’s touch and go, so we’ll have to see how he is after training today.”
Moyes was also full of praise for Jesse Lingard during his pre-City presser:
“We’re really pleased to have him because he’s given us another dimension. He’s given us a bit of quality. I always thought we were going to need someone to give us something else in the second half of the season. Jesse’s come in and make an impact with his goals and his performances.”
