The reigning champions will be looking to keep their perfect record at the start of the 2024/25 Premier League campaign this weekend.
Manchester City travel to the capital to lock horns with West Ham in the last game of Saturday’s Premier League schedule at London Stadium.
The Citizens conceded a shocking opener against newly-promoted Ipswich Town last weekend at Etihad but they needed no more than five minutes to produce three goals and complete a blitz comeback.
It ended in a 4-1 victory for Pep Guardiola’s machinery. Erling Haaland completed a hat-trick. The Norwegian striker is already on four goals in two games as he was also on the scoresheet in the first round’s 2-0 win at Chelsea.
West Ham managed their first win of the season last Saturday, beating Crystal Palace 2-0 on the road.
Tomas Soucek and Jarrod Bowen were on target for the Hammers who were also close to getting a positive result from the opening fixture against Aston Villa.
West Ham vs Manchester City Prediction
Manchester City have dominated this matchup in recent history. They won five and drew one of the previous six clashes against the Hammers.
Pep Guardiola’s troops got off to a flying start to the season with six goals in two games. We can hardly predict anything other than their win here.
We also expect an intriguing contest packed with goals knowing that West Ham also have a strong attacking line led by Jarrod Bowen, Mohammed Kudus, and newly-signed Niclas Fullkrug.
Both last season’s head-to-head games between these counterparts produced at least four goals.
