Manchester City are back in action with another important Premier League fixture this weekend as they lock horns with David Moyes' West Ham United at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.
Manchester City vs West Ham United Preview
West Ham United are in fourth place in the Premier League standings and have consistently punched above their weight under David Moyes this season. The Hammers slumped to a shock 1-0 defeat against Wolverhampton Wanderers in their previous league game and will need to bounce back this weekend.
Manchester City, on the other hand, are in second place in the league table at the moment and have been impressive this season. Pep Guardiola's side outplayed a star-studded Paris Saint-Germain team in the Champions League this week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
