Hello and welcome to LIVE coverage of this Premier League clash between Manchester City and West Ham!
City are looking to move four points clear of third-placed Leicester City as they welcome David Moyes’ side to the Etihad Stadium. Pep Guardiola’s side have now not played since their 2-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur 17 days ago, with this being owed to the fact their clash with the Hammers was originally postponed due to the weather. City now begin an important seven days which also features clashes with Leicester and Real Madrid, and they will be aiming to start in positive fashion against their east London opponents.
This game’s original postponement also means West Ham have not played since their 3-3 draw with Brighton and Hove Albion at the very start of the month, with Moyes’ side being without a victory in their last five games in all competitions. This concerning run of form has seen West Ham drop into the relegation zone, but they could climb back up to 16th with an unlikely victory in Manchester today.
SUBS: Jarrod Bowen, Felipe Anderson, Manuel Lanzini, Darren Randolph, Pablo Zabaleta, Sebastien Haller, Fabian Balbuena.
WEST HAM (3-5-2): Lukasz Fabianski; Issa Diop, Angelo Ogbonna, Aaron Cresswell; Ryan Fredericks, Tomas Soucek, Declan Rice, Mark Noble, Arthur Masuaku; Robert Snodgrass, Michail Antonio.
SUBS: Phil Foden, Riyad Mahrez, Joao Cancelo, Ilkay Gundogan, John Stones, Claudio Bravo, Fernandinho.
MANCHESTER CITY (4-3-3): Ederson; Kyle Walker, Nicolas Otamendi, Aymeric Laporte, Benjamin Mendy; Kevin De Bruyne, Rodrigo, David Silva; Bernardo Silva, Sergio Aguero, Gabriel Jesus.
The players are emerging from the tunnel and it is almost time for kick-off.
The players are now emerging from the tunnel as the start of the second half edges closer.
That’s all for now. Thank you for following live coverage of this Premier League clash!
City will now be looking to build on this result when they face Leicester over the weekend in a key clash in the battle for second spot, while Guardiola's side then face Real Madrid in their Champions League tie next week. Meanwhile, things don’t get much easier for West Ham as they must now aim to bounce back from this defeat when they travel to face league leaders Liverpool on Monday night.
