West Ham Face Daunting Task Against Dominant Manchester City
Unbeaten City Host Struggling Hammers in Premier League Clash
Heading into Sunday's Premier League encounter at the Etihad Stadium, Manchester City stand as the overwhelming favorites against West Ham United. The Citizens boast an impressive unbeaten run of 16 league games against their opponents, winning 13 and drawing three.
West Ham, on the other hand, have endured a torrid time in their recent meetings with Man City, losing 15 of their last 17 top-flight encounters. This includes a 4-0 defeat in their previous clash at the London Stadium in August 2022.
Team News and Predicted Lineups
Manchester City are expected to be at full strength, with no major injury concerns. Pep Guardiola's side will likely line up in their customary 4-3-3 formation, with Erling Haaland spearheading the attack.
West Ham, meanwhile, will be without suspended midfielder Lucas Paquetá. David Moyes could opt for a more defensive approach, with a 5-4-1 formation, as they look to frustrate their opponents.
Score Prediction
Given Manchester City's dominance over West Ham and their impressive home form, it is difficult to look past a comfortable victory for the defending champions. The Citizens are without question the best team in the Premier League, and they should have too much quality for the Hammers.
Predicted Score: Manchester City 3-0 West Ham United
How to Watch
The match will be available to watch live on Sky Sports Main Event in the United Kingdom. Kick-off is scheduled for 2:00 PM GMT.
