West Ham United will have their sights set on returning to winning ways later on today after failing to secure all three points against Huddersfield Town last time out.
The Hammers have definitely improved under Manuel Pellegrini in recent times, with a successful January transfer window helping them in their pursuit of a European spot.
Interestingly, West Ham United will welcome Manchester City to the London Stadium in their next Premier League fixture. The Citizens have been the standout performers this season and remain on course to secure a second successive title, so the Hammers will find it difficult to secure any points later on today.
With that in mind, Pellegrini must get his team selection right by selecting these TWO West Ham players…
FELIPE ANDERSON
Felipe Anderson has been one of the signings of the summer for West Ham United as he continues to contribute in the final third, with four goals and two assists to his name already.
The Brazilian has certainly filled the huge void left by Andriy Yarmolenko having settled into English football nicely, with the sky being the limit from here on in for the exciting winger.
With the Hammers likely to set up defensively against Manchester City later on today, it’s important that Anderson is used as the vocal point of the attack on counter attacks as he has the ability to really hurt Pep Guardiola’s side.
DECLAN RICE
Declan Rice has established himself as one of the hottest prospects in English football this season, with a number of the Premier League big guns keeping an eye on his contract situation at the club.
The versatile midfielder has the ability to play at the heart of the defence or in a holding midfield role. He has been deployed in just in front of the defence this season which has certainly helped his development, and he will definitely play a huge part in trying to stop one of the best attacks in world football later on today.
