Although they will face a stiff challenge in London, Manchester City knows that a victory over West Ham this afternoon will maintain them atop the Premier League for another week.
After having back surgery last month, Pep Guardiola is back on the sidelines and will try to keep his team’s perfect record intact. The home team has only lost two points in their first four games and is also unbeaten.
Chelsea and Brighton have already suffered losses at the hands of the Hammers, who will look to capitalize on City’s multiple injuries. Jack Grealish, John Stones, and Kevin De Bruyne continue to be injured, while Mateo Kovacic missed both of Croatia’s international matches over the break.
When Matheus Nunes arrives from on deadline day, he could make his debut.
