Manchester City vs West Ham LIVE!
The Etihad Stadium is the setting for another key clash at both ends of the Premier League table tonight. Man City are looking to quickly regain top spot from Arsenal with their ninth top-flight victory in a row, having been knocked back down to second place - but with two games in hand - courtesy of the Gunners’ emphatic return to winning ways against Chelsea last night.
Pep Guardiola’s defending champions have become the overwhelming favourites to successfully retain their title after winning 13 of their last 14 games, including that 4-1 demolition of Arsenal last week, with Erling Haaland now needing just one more goal to break the single-season scoring record in the Premier League. West Ham, meanwhile, had enjoyed a resurgence of late but are now only four points above the relegation zone after back-to-back losses.
The Hammers have not beaten tonight’s opponents in the league since 2015, and a sickness bug has ruled out the likes of Declan Rice, Tomas Soucek and Nayef Aguerd. City rest Ederson as Stefan Ortega starts and Nathan Ake returns. Follow Manchester City vs West Ham live below, with analysis from Dom Smith at the Etihad!
