Manchester City will be looking to make it 20 consecutive wins across all competitions this weekend when they take on top four chasing West Ham. The match schedules for Saturday at Etihad Stadium with kickoff at 3: 30 pm.
The Citizens are currently on a 19 winning streak across all competitions, with their recent win being their 2-0 win over Borussia Monchengladbach in the Champions League. West Ham head into the clash on the back of a 2-1 win over Tottenham in the league last weekend.
City started trouble in the Premier League, going as low as 15th on the rankings. However, a string of decent performances sees the side becoming possible title contenders with ten points ahead of second-placed Manchester United.
Guardiola’s men recorded a 1-0 win over Arsenal before recording another win in the Champions League on Wednesday night. It leaves the side in a perfect spot to advance to another level of the competition. The Citizens have the best record in England’s top flight with 29 points from 12 matches.
It is a massive match for David Moyes, given the Hammers have not won a match against their opponents in six years. West Ham head into the clash as the underdogs but has something to show, especially with their current in-form side. The side has collected 45 points from their first 25 matches.

The city’s only injury concern ahead of the clash is Nathan Ake, but Pep has an excellent squad in good form. We expect several changes from Wednesday night with Riyad Mahrez, Kevin De Bruyne, John Stones, and Zinchenko coming back to the fold.
West Ham Team News
Injury concerns for the Hammers include Arthur Masauku, Andriy Yarmolenko, and Angelo Ogbonna, who remain on the treatment table. Michail Antoni might have to operate as the lone attacker, with Jesse Lingard, Fornals, and Jarrod Bowen operating behind.
