LAST TIME OUT

In City’s last league fixture, Rodrigo scored a goal of the season contender as Manchester City beat Everton 3-0 in a one-sided affair at the Etihad Stadium.

The Spaniard beat Jordan Pickford with a 25-yard thunderbolt to double City’s lead after Raheem Sterling converted Joao Cancelo’s superb cross to mark his 300^th Premier League appearance with a goal.

Bernardo Silva wrapped up the three points late on, when he reacted quickest to slide Cole Palmer’s deflected strike through Pickford’s legs from six-yards.

Previous meetings

Centre-back duo Ruben Dias and John Stones netted a goal each as City defeated West Ham United 2-1 in the Premier League at the Etihad Stadium back in February, extending our winning run at the time to 20 matches.

The visitors were rigid and organised but City got the opener on the half-hour mark through Ruben Dias, who powerfully headed in a superb Kevin De Bruyne cross to mark his first goal for the club since joining last summer and propel the Belgian into the top ten of the all-time Premier League assists chart with 77 in the competition.

West Ham regrouped and worked themselves back into the game, hitting the outside of the post shortly before netting the leveller two minutes before the interval through Michail Antonio, who poked in at the back post from on-loan Lingard’s shot.

With just over 20 minutes left, City regained the lead through another centre-back as Stones fired in expertly from ten yards from an accurate Riyad Mahrez cutback to notch his fourth goal of the season in all competitions.

FORM GUIDE

City and West Ham have both won four of their last five league matches, meaning both sides are in good league form.

The Hammers fell to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Wolverhampton Wanderers last weekend, whilst City eased past Everton.

Ahead of the weekend’s fixtures, City sit second in the table with 26 points, whilst the Hammers are fourth with 23 points.
