West Ham United must prove Jamie Carragher wrong after what he’s said
Jamie Carragher must be proved wrong after what he’s said as West Ham United take on Manchester City.
The Hammers will face Pep Guardiola’s team in the Premier League on Saturday (4 January).
Julen Lopetegui is back under pressure after the 5-0 loss to Liverpool at the London Stadium.
The Irons find themselves 13th in the English top flight, having won just six games in the current campaign.
Before the start of the campaign, the East London club were expected to challenge for a European berth after a strong summer transfer window.
The Spanish manager has, however, failed to bring the best out of his squad and has looked like a fish out of water at the Hammers.
Jamie Carragher to rue West Ham United prediction v Manchester City
Carragher has predicted the Sky Blues to beat Lopetegui’s team 2-0 at the Etihad Stadium [Sky Sports Super 6].
While the Irons haven’t been at their best this season, Man City have by no means lit up the Premier League.
Guardiola has found life difficult in recent months, with his side winning just two of their last 10 fixtures in the English top flight.
West Ham have the perfect opportunity to get the better of the Citizens, who look vulnerable at the moment.
The Spaniard is fighting for his job at the London Stadium, and a loss to Man City could mean the end of his tenure.
While supporters have already turned against the 58-year-old head coach, David Sullivan looks to be backing him.
Another massive defeat by Guardiola’s team should be the final nail in Lopetegui’s coffin.
