During the summer, the Hammers underwent significant reconstruction, opting for serious changes within the team. David Moyes, who recently led the Hammers to victory in the UEFA Conference League, stepped down as head coach and was replaced by Julen Lopetegui.
The squad also saw transformations: summer signings included Guilherme Luiz, Max Kilman, Crysencio Summerville, Niclas Füllkrug, Guido Rodríguez, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, and Jean-Clair Todibo joined on loan. Importantly, the team managed to avoid significant departures.
The Londoners are once again determined to compete for European spots. West Ham’s start to the new season has been mixed: they lost 1-2 to Aston Villa in the first round but secured a solid 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace in the second round. Midweek, West Ham narrowly defeated Bournemouth in the English League Cup.
Manchester City The Citizens continue to dominate English football, securing their fourth consecutive Premier League title last season. Over the summer, the team refrained from a transfer spree, which is typical of Pep Guardiola’s calm approach to squad changes. The only significant acquisition was Savio to bolster the attacking line.
City started the new season very confidently, winning the Community Shield. Pep Guardiola’s team defeated Manchester United in a penalty shootout. In the first round of the Premier League, Manchester City claimed three points by defeating Chelsea 2-0 away. In the third round, Ipswich Town visited the Etihad and even scored first, but ultimately lost 1-4.
