Manchester City will hope to put behind them the humiliation by Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu when they visit West Ham United next. Getting back to Premier League action is an opportunity for City to return to winning ways. Though having a shaky run, Pep Guardiola’s men remain in the hunt for four trophies. West Ham United, on the other hand, are only playing for survival in the league. Read on to find our prediction for this match.
West Ham United are faced with a daunting task; going into a match, either side will lose greatly if they drop points. The Hammers are in the eye of the relegation battle, sitting in the bottom three just by virtue of goal difference. Manchester City, on the other hand, are in the title fight, trailing the leaders by seven points.
They do have a game in hand and will hope to make the most of it to close the gap to just four points.

West Ham - Manchester City: Form Analysis
West Ham United have had some positive outcomes to prepare for this game. Through post-match penalties they overcame Brentford in the FA Cup on Monday after a 2-2 draw. The hosts will be looking to build on a two-game undefeated run, of which the first was a 1-0 win at Fulham.
That boosted their chances of survival as they remained within striking distance of the two sides above them. Nuno Espirito Santo will be urging his charges to keep their focus right, having lately dropped points in the dying embers of matches. In their last seven matches across all competitions, West Ham lost just once in regular time.
West Ham last beat City in 2016.
Manchester City returns to league action after focusing on cup competition in the last two games. They will be seeking some response here after a limp performance against Real Madrid, which ended in a 3-0 loss. Their first defeat in 12 matches doesn’t mark the end of the road for City, and they should be able to deal with West Ham easily.
The Cityzens have nine wins in their last 12 matches, but the most recent in the league saw them drop points in a 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest. Head-to-head, they have done really well in this fixture, not only dominating in terms of wins but also scoring a lot. City are unbeaten in 22 meetings with West Ham, and they won each of the last seven.

West Ham & Manchester City Squad Analysis
West Ham United’s progression in the FA Cup on Monday came at a heavy cost. Dutch forward Crysencio Summerville suffered a calf injury in the match, and he will spend some time in the treatment room. Goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski remains a long-term absentee as he nurses a back injury, while Oliver Scarles and Adama Traore are expected to recover from knocks.
Jarrod Bowen was the last of the current West Ham players to score against Manchester City, and that was in 2022. He netted a brace back then, and it was the last time they got a point off City. As he is a sure starter if fit, the forward will be hoping for the same here.
Antoine Semenyo has five league goals at City since joining in January.
Manchester City will hope to do the business early here and rest players ahead of the Real Madrid visit. One man who loves this game is Erling Haaland. The Norwegian has scored more league goals against West Ham United than any other team (11). Two of those came in the reverse match as City beat West Ham 3-0.
