Payet can’t wait for Silva head to head

Dimi Payet can’t wait to go head to head with Manchester City’s David Silva in a fasinating confrontation at Manchester City.

The pair have  already created 29 chances in the Barclays Premier League this term, and Payet knows only too well what the Hammers are up against at the weekend. 

He told West Ham TV: “He’s a player that I admire, with the way that he manages, practically every time that he gets the ball, to find space in behind. 

“He has a truly exceptional quality of pass. I saw the Spain game during the international break where he played an unbelievable pass for Jordi Alba. I’ve always dreamed of being left footed, I’m right footed, he’s the type of player that I really appreciate.”      

He added: ““We know the attacking power of Manchester City. Like at Liverpool, like at Arsenal, we’re not expected to win, so we’re going there without pressure, and we’re going to try to trouble them with our weapons.”
