It is thought that William had 3000 cavalry, 1000 archers and the rest infantry. But Harold had no cavalry, fewer archers thus his army was mostly infantry, as he lost most of his troops on the way from Stamford Bridge. So it was most probably William who had more troops. Hope i was a good help :)
they were well trained and well skilled up and practised before the battle. William made sure he had the best army and no rubbish fighters
They both had good defence- Harold had positioned his army so he was protected. But William had better defence because he had a bigger army, including archers, cavalry, and more trained soldiers.
