David Moyes is confident Craig Dawson and Said Benrahma will be fine to face Manchester City but Said Benrahma is less likely. Moyes went more attacking against Norwich last weekend but should recall Tomas Soucek to the starting XI for the welcome of Manchester City. Mark Noble will likely start on Sunday in what will be his final home game for the club. Fernandinho suffered some muscular problems in the win over Wolves on Wednesday night and Aymeric Laporte suffered a slight knee injury. With John Stones, Kyle Walker and Ruben Dias already ruled out for their remaining matches, Manchester City find themselves well short in defence this weekend. Rodri may have to drop back into central defence with Nathan Ake coming into the side as their only recognised centre-back. Kevin De Bruyne scored four against Wolves and has now replaced Mo Salah as the top WhoScored rated player in the Premier League for the season. Riyad Mahrez, Gabriel Jesus and Jack Grealish will hope for recalls to face West Ham on Sunday.

Manchester City ran out 5-1 winners away to Wolves in midweek to maintain their three-point cushion over Liverpool, while extending their superior goal difference to +7. Victory over Wolves did come at a cost for Pep Guardiola's side, however. They have potentially lost two more defensive options to injury with Fernandinho and Aymeric Laporte pulling up. 1:2

Prediction Our thinking is that West Ham United will likely create enough chances to find the back of the net against this Manchester City outfit, although just one goal probably won’t quite be enough. Therefore, we’re predicting both teams to score in a 1-3victory for Manchester City at the end of this one. It should be a decent one.

Despite the Hammers still pushing for Europe, Guardiola’s side is racing towards the Premier League title at an unstoppable pace and I think they’ll have no problems brushing them aside here.
