The friendly match between Perth Glory and West Ham United will take place at Optus Stadium on Saturday at 3:30 pm IST.
To commence their short stay in Australia, West Ham United will face Perth Glory at Optus Stadium this Saturday. Although the Hammers have recently resumed playing after a successful end to the previous season, Perth struggled near the lower ranks of the A-League in 2022-23 and are currently without a permanent head coach.
Following their Europa Conference League victory in June, West Ham had a well-deserved but brief summer break. They have now returned to training at their Rush Green facility and have started a busy pre-season schedule with a match against Boreham Wood on Monday. Even without several key international players, the Hammers secured a 4-1 victory against their National League opponents at Meadow Park. Manager David Moyes is preparing his team for a season where West Ham will aim to win consecutive titles as they compete in the Europa League. However, they will have to adjust to the absence of their inspirational captain, Declan Rice, who is set to join Premier League rivals Arsenal.
While West Ham remained loyal to manager Moyes during challenging times last season, which ultimately yielded positive results, Perth Glory has been suffering by managerial instability. It has been a month since Ruben Zadkovich left his position as coach, and the club has yet to announce a permanent replacement. As they go through their pre-season preparations for the upcoming A-League campaign, the Western Australia team will first face West Ham at Optus Stadium. Following this match, they will travel to Darwin to participate in the Australia Cup playoffs against Macarthur FC.
Perth Glory probable starting lineup: Sail, Muir, Lachman, Beevers, Ostler, Colli, Amini, Bodnar; R. Williams, Taggart, Zimarino
West Ham United probable starting lineup: Fabianski, Laing, Zouma, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Coventry, Downes, Bowen, Fornals, Swyer, Scamacca
