West Ham United vs. Manchester City: Premier League – Match Preview

Manchester City travel to the capital on Saturday as they look to build on a good week away to West Ham United.

West Ham United produced a remarkable recovery to earn the unlikeliest of points away at Tottenham last weekend.

Trailing 3-0 with 10 minutes remaining, the Hammers scored three times, including an incredible last minute leveller from Manuel Lanzini.

Manchester City earned a second win of the season with a narrow 1-0 home victory over Arsenal thanks to a Raheem Sterling winner.

They opened their Champions League account with a 3-1 home victory over FC Porto on Wednesday, with Ferran Torres opening his Manchester City account.

Match history
Manchester City have an incredible record against the Hammers, winning the last 11 matches between the pair.
