How long we have waited for the opening round in the Premier League, and it is already coming to an end.

Two days after the 2022/23 season began, at this time the game that closes the first cycle was held when Manchester City, the champion of the last two years, will be hosted in London by West Ham (live on Sport1) - the team that squeezed a point from them in the final rounds last season and left Liverpool with hope in the championship fight.

Manchester City were embarrassed by Liverpool in the Community Shield and lost their first title of 2022/23, but Pep Guardiola and his players are favorites again this season to win the championship, their third in a row if they are up to the task.

The Citizens made very significant changes in the squad when Raheem Sterling, Gabriel Jesus and Alexander Zinchenko were sold, Fernandinho also ended his contract and left, but in their place came Kelvin Phillips who is injured these days, and of course Erling Holland from Dortmund who is in the lineup alongside Phil Foden, who was absent from the pre-season tour in the United States The alliance because it is not a cover for Corona - and now wins the 11th place at the expense of Riyad Mahrez.

Another change compared to the formation in the community defender is the inclusion of Ilkay Gundoan in midfield instead of Bernardo Silva.

Julian Albers, who came from River Plate, will wait for an opportunity from the bench.

West Ham made it very difficult for City last season and in May ended against them in a 2:2 home draw which left Liverpool with a chance to win the championship, but they are still far from being ready for the season - the purchase stopper Naif Ekered is injured, Gianluca Scamacca is still ineligible and Maxwell Korna from Burnley only joined the team on Friday.
