Confirmed Line-Ups: West Ham vs Manchester City (Premier League)

West Ham and Manchester City have both confirmed their line-ups for Saturday’s Premier League clash at the London Stadium.

Pep Guardiola’s side are looking to continue their winning start to the Premier League in east London on Saturday evening, having moved to the top of the table following wins over both Chelsea and Ipswich Town.

Manchester City came from behind to thump newly-promoted Ipswich 4-1 at the Etihad Stadium last weekend, as Erling Haaland netted his 10th hat-trick for the Sky Blues, and Kevin De Bruyne opened his goalscoring account for the new campaign.

West Ham, who beat Bournemouth in the Carabao Cup in midweek, secured their first win under manager Julen Lopetegui last weekend, beating Crystal Palace 0-2 at Selhurst Park.

Manchester City are unbeaten in their past 19 matches against Hammers, and secured their latest Premier League title triumph with a win over West Ham at the Etihad Stadium in May, winning 3-1, courtesy of Phil Foden’s brace and Rodri’s second-half strike.

Haaland, who has scored 96 goals in 101 appearances made his Premier League debut at the London Stadium back in August 2022, scoring both goals during a 0-2 win.

The Norwegian is set to feature again for Manchester City in east London this weekend, meanwhile Ilkay Gundogan could be handed his first start since re-signing from FC Barcelona last week.
