WEST HAM UTD
MANAGER: MANUEL PELLEGRINI IF IT had not been for Liverpool’s spectacular dealings, all eyes would have been on West Ham. After the disappointment and unhappiness of last year, the owners have gone for it in a big way. Give them credit, they have not messed around. Midfielder Felipe Anderson (below), for a club record, and Jack Wilshere have been the headline-grabbing arrivals but I like the signing of Andriy Yarmolenko, too. I know Stoke tried to sign him once. He is an exciting player who will score and create goals, which should help relieve the pressure on Marko Arnautovic, who had too much responsibility on his shoulders last season. Marko is someone I know well and I rate him highly. He is going to be the key man again and I can see people raving about him. Manuel Pellegrini sets his teams up to attack and it will be entertaining at the London Stadium — which is what the fans want.
HOW WILL THEY FARE?
LOOKING forward to watching them. They will get plenty of points at home.
