Manchester City will look to continue their impressive form when they host West Ham United at the Etihad Stadium in the Premier League on Sunday. Pep Guardiola’s side sit at the top of the table with a one-point lead over second-placed Arsenal after recording a 2-1 victory over Fulham in their last outing. The Sky Blues will be looking to extend that advantage with another win in this weekend’s encounter. In contrast, the Hammers suffered a blow after being defeated 4-3 by Crystal Palace in a hard-fought match.

There is a possibility that Man City‘s defender, Nathan Ake, will make a comeback in the squad on Wednesday as he has recovered from his hamstring injury. However, Kevin De Bruyne, who missed the previous game against Fulham due to an unspecified injury, is yet to participate in the training and might not be able to play against West Ham on Sunday.
