West Ham United vs Manchester City - Premier League: TV channel, prediction, team news and lineups
By Ben Gray
Manchester City have won each of their last 11 Premier League fixtures all by, at least, a two-goal margin so, considering they're unbeaten in 17 clashes with West Ham, winning 14 of them, an away win seems extremely likely at East London.
West Ham United vs Manchester City Preview
Pep Guardiola's side will be seeking to continue their perfect start to the season, having already swatted aside Chelsea 2-0 at Stamford Bridge on opening weekend, before coming from behind to ultimately smash Ipswich 4-1 a week ago. West Ham meantime, after defeat at the hands of Aston Villa, have responded well, beating Crystal Palace 2-0 at Selhurst last weekend, before a last-gasp goal saw them oust Bournemouth in the EFL Cup on Wednesday. This though, will be an infinitely tougher task.

West Ham United Team News
Julen Lopetegui made seven changes for the mid-week Carabao Cup victory, with only Vladimír Coufal, Max Kilman, Tomáš Souček and Jarrod Bowen in the line-up for both. Aaron Cresswell was supposed to start on Wednesday, but withdrew after sustaining an injury in the warm-up. Summer signings Jean-Clair Todibo, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Crysencio Summerville and Niclas Füllkrug were amongst those making their full debuts against Bournemouth, so how many did enough to keep their places for this one?
West Ham United predicted lineup vs Manchester City: (4-2-3-1): Areola; Wan-Bissaka, Todibo, Kilman, Emerson; Rodríguez, Souček, Paquetá, Bowen, Kudus; Füllkrug.
West Ham United Player to Watch vs Manchester City
Jarrod Bowen secured victory at Selhurst Park a week ago, before also being the match-winner in mid-week, albeit in slightly more fortuitous circumstances, with Mohammed Kudus' shot deflecting in off his arm; thankfully for the Hammers faithful, no VAR in operation that night. Bowen also bagged a brace the last time the Irons avoided defeat against Man City, a 2-2 draw at the London Stadium in May 2022, and he'll be key if they're able to earn a result here too.
Manchester City Team News
Pep Guardiola has enjoyed the rarity of a free mid-week, so could name an unchanged XI, although the expectation is that Rodri will return, having not featured since the Euro Final, given an extended break by his boss. Phil Foden also wasn't in the squad last weekend, but could return here.
Manchester City predicted lineup vs West Ham United: (4-2-3-1): Ederson; Lewis, Rúben Dias, Akanji, Gvardiol; Rodri, De Bruyne, Silva, Savinho, Foden; Håland.
Manchester City Players to Watch vs West Ham United
Erling Braut Håland marked his Premier League debut with a brace in East London two years ago; his hat-trick last weekend continues his imperious record in the competition in August, scoring 16 in ten outings during this calendar month, making it his most fruitful month of the year.
West Ham United vs Manchester City Prediction
We're fully expecting Manchester City to cruise to victory, with a clean sheet as well. The Hammers have struggled to create chances recently, while the Sky Blues have kept a clean sheet in each of their last five Premier League away games, a trend we're forecasting will continue: West Ham United 0-2 Manchester City.
