Pep Guardiola’s side visit the London Stadium on Saturday 31 August aiming to maintain our 100% start to the season in the 17:30 (UK) kick-off.
We enter the clash in the capital buoyed following a 4-1 win over Ipswich in our previous outing.
After Sammie Szmodics opened the scoring for the Tractor Boys on seven minutes, we came from a goal down to collect three points over the Premier League new-boys.
Erling Haaland equalised from the penalty spot before Kevin De Bruyne gave us the lead after Savinho retrieved possession and teed up the Belgian to slot home.
The Norwegian then extended our lead further and then completed his hat-trick, representing his 10th for the Club, after the break.
Last season, we recorded respective 3-1 wins over West Ham both home and away en route to the Premier League title.
However, the Irons have won two of their last three games in all competitions meaning we’ll have to be at our very best to win on Saturday.
And there may be crucial decisions for FPL managers to make ahead of Saturday 31 August’s 11:00 (UK) deadline.
Read the Scout’s latest report below…
CITY STAR
Savinho (£6.5m) registered two assists in Gameweek 2 to put him firmly on the Fantasy Premier League radar ahead of Gameweek 3’s deadline.
Despite going off at half-time in Gameweek 1, Savinho has created a team leading five chances - two of which were classified as big chances.
The midfielder registered nine-points against Ipswich, only Erling Haaland (£15.1m) and Kevin De Bruyne (£9.5m) collected more for City last weekend.
The Brazilian has also taken four corners in the opening two matches. This increases his appeal as it broadens his route to points.
In Gameweek 2, only De Bruyne received more passes in the final third (54) than Savinho (45).
The latter also had seven penalty area touches in Gameweek 2 - only bettered by Haaland and Rico Lewis (£4.5m)
ONE TO WATCH
Jarrod Bowen (£7.0m) returned his first goal of the season in the Irons’ 2-0 win over Crystal Palace in Gameweek 2. The midfielder was West Ham’s top goal scorer last season with 16 goals.
DIFFERENTIAL
Elsewhere, Rodrigo Muniz (£6.1m) and Nicolas Jackson (£7.5m) are low-owned gems who have good potential in Gameweek 3.
Fulham’s Muniz has seven shots in Gameweek 2, the most across the league level with Haaland.
Jackson scored his first goal of the season for Chelsea in Gameweek 2 and also registered an assist.
