Olli Harder believes familiarity will offer his West Ham players invaluable reassurance as they meet renascent Manchester City for the third time this season. Saturday’s FA Cup semi-final takes place at Dagenham & Redbridge’s Chigwell Construction Stadium, where Harder’s side play their home games.
“If you’ve climbed a mountain before, the idea of doing it again becomes easier psychologically,” said Harder. “We’ve beaten City before, we know where we can hurt them and they know that as well.”
