Predictions

The run in for the title has picked up with Man City yet to stumble. West Ham, on the other hand, need a win in the last game of the season to secure some form of European football.

Man City currently sit second in the Premier League coming into the last game of the season. In 37 games, City have 26 wins, seven draws and three losses, leaving them on 85 points, one point behind Arsenal at the top of the league with a game in hand.

City have the best scoring record in the league this season, scoring 91 goals in 36 games, an average of 2.52 goals a game. City have also been strong in defence, conceding 33 goals and keeping 12 clean sheets.

West Ham, however, sit ninth in the Premier League coming into the final weekend. In 37 games, The Hammers have 14 wins, ten draws and 13 losses, just two points behind Manchester United.

The Hammers have been average in front of goal this season, scoring 59 goals in 37 games which gives them an average of 1.59 goals a game. West Ham have been poor in defence, conceding 71 goals and keeping just five clean sheets.

Man City and West Ham have met 120 times in their histories, with the first meeting coming back in 1924. City have the better record in the fixture with 63 wins in comparison to West Ham’s 38 wins, the other 19 games ending in a draw.

The last five games in this fixture have seen four wins for Man City and one draw, with West Ham’s last win coming in a penalty shootout in the League Cup in 2021 and before that a 2 – 1 win in the Premier League in 2015

Man City vs West Ham team news

Kevin De Bruyne is a doubt for City, after missing the weekend trip to Fulham. Guardiola said the Belgian “doesn’t feel good” as he battles an injury problem, though that was believed to be precautionary and so he could return.

Nathan Ake has not been training as he continues to battle a hamstring injury picked up against Bayern Munich, but he is expected to return before the end of the season.

Kurt Zouma picked up an ankle injury against Palace and so could miss out here, while Gianluca Scamacca continues to be on the sidelines.

The good form of Michail Antonio means he is likely to continue leading the line, keeping Danny Ings out of the side.
