Premier League: Manchester City vs West Ham Live
Preview: Manchester City vs West Ham
Manchester City vs West Ham is scheduled for the Etihad Stadium on Sunday at 3:00pm as the Citizens seek a crucial win to clinch their fourth consecutive league title. Pep Guardiola’s team is on the brink of making English football history, but West Ham will try to disrupt their celebration at the Etihad Stadium in a match that will also be David Moyes’s farewell.
After defeating Tottenham 2-0 on Tuesday, Man City are currently leading the Premier League standings as they head into the final day of the season for the fifth time in six seasons. Securing one more victory will ensure their title, but if Arsenal falters against Everton, Pep Guardiola’s team will clinch an unprecedented fourth consecutive Premier League title regardless of their own result. With a strong record of winning their last three home matches and scoring a total of 14 goals in the process, City are in excellent form at the Etihad Stadium. Additionally, they have won their last seven head-to-head matches against West Ham.
West Ham supporters are getting ready to say goodbye to manager David Moyes for the second time, with the team set to finish in ninth place. They secured this position by defeating Luton 3-1 in their last match, breaking a four-game winless streak in the league. West Ham has won the same number of games away as they have at home this season (7 wins, 2 draws, 9 losses). However, fans should not get too excited about their chances, especially considering their poor record against Manchester City and Moyes’ history of not winning against Guardiola in league matches (2 draws, 10 losses).
Head-to-head
Manchester City has emerged victorious in four matches and drawn one out of the last five encounters against West Ham. Additionally, in their previous 56 home games against West Ham, Manchester City has secured 41 wins, 5 draws, and suffered only 10 defeats.
Prediction
Given Man City’s consistent strong performances in recent weeks, it’s hard to imagine them not winning on Sunday. While West Ham shouldn’t be underestimated, especially with their counter-attacking threat from players like Bowen and Kudus, their defensive struggles are evident. With just one clean sheet in their last 23 games, it’s likely that Man City will have the edge, especially playing in front of their home crowd at the Etihad Stadium. This should pave the way for them to secure another Premier League title.
