West Ham midfielder Jarrod Bowen says they'll need to put in a big shift today against champions Manchester City.

Eighteen goals in 51 appearances across domestic and European competition saw the 25-year-old earn his first England caps in the summer, giving him yet more motivation to continue both his and the team's progress.

“When we drew with them at the end of last season, the way we played that game exactly was what we worked on," he explained to whufc.com.

“We knew we wouldn't have as much of the ball as City, but when we did have the ball we needed to show that quality and that real clinical edge.

“We had a couple more chances in the second half and that could have made it a different game. They drain you with the ball, but as with every team they have their weaknesses too so we have to exploit them and we did that well.

“It's a new season, a fresh start, but still we have to approach it in the same way we did last season's game."
