West Ham United defender Carl Jenkinson has insisted that he and his teammates will not fear Manchester City when they go head to head on Saturday.

Bilic faces a tough task if he is to add Pellegrini’s scalp to his belt alongside those of Arsene Wenger and Brendan Rodgers, but exuded quiet confidence in his tried and tested counter-attacking gameplan when he spoke to reporters ahead of Saturday’s Premier League game at the Etihad Stadium.

‘I would love them to win that game against Juventus.

“So on the one hand, it would be a surprise, but to be fair it would not be a shock considering we have done it two out of two already”.

I think I had the best season of my career to date (last season), finishing as the highest assist maker. He didn’t make it at Chelsea, maybe he didn’t make it at Liverpool – which is hard, ‘ Bilic said.

However, this financial outlay has tied them up if they intend to bring any more players to the side in January. “It’s scary quality”.

Carl Jenkinson says that West Ham United will not fear Manchester City this weekend, despite the former Premier League champions’ blistering start to the season.

The defensive midfielder was impressive when he came on against Newcastle on Monday night and he would probably have been in line to start at City, as he did at Liverpool in the last away match, had he been fully fit.

“He’s just a good player”, Bilic said. Their number includes the £10.7m forward Dimitri Payet, who joined from Marseille, as well as Angelo Ogbonna from Juventus and Pedro Obiang from Sampdoria. We’re trying to make the situation easier for him.
