----------------------------
Manchester City
Pep Guardiola does not have any new injury concerns hampering his preparations ahead of his side’s latest fixture. The Manchester City manager might be bereft of the services of six first-team players vs West Ham United on Saturday.
Guardiola hopes to see Ederson Moraes (unspecified), John Stones (foot), and Matheus Nunes (knock) returning to the fold after missing recent games. However, none of the players might be fit enough to start against West Ham. Meanwhile, Ruben Dias (calf), Rodri (knee), and Oscar Bobb (leg) remain on the sidelines.
Stefan Ortega will deputise for Ederson Moraes between the sticks, with Manchester City lining up in a 4-1-4-1 formation in front of him vs West Ham United on Saturday. The backline should feature Rico Lewis, Manuel Akanji, Nathan Ake, and Josko Gvardiol.
As for the midfield unit, Mateo Kovacic will hold the fort in the middle of the park, with Bernardo Silva and Kevin De Bruyne providing the creative impetus in the advanced areas. Finally, Erling Haaland will lead the line for Manchester City against West Ham, with Phil Foden and Savinho being the two wide attackers.
West Ham United
Unlike his counterpart in the Manchester City dugout, Julen Lopetegui has a new issue to worry about ahead of the trip to the Etihad. The West Ham United manager will be without three first-team players on Saturday.
Jarrod Bowen is the latest absentee after fracturing his left foot last weekend against Liverpool. The English international has joined Lukasz Fabianski (head) and Michail Antonio on the sidelines. However, Lopetegui has some respite, with Tomas Soucek and Guido Rodriguez available after serving their suspensions.
Alphonse Areola is an automatic pick between the sticks, with West Ham United lining up in a 4-2-3-1 formation in front of him vs Manchester City on Saturday. The backline should feature Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Konstantinos Mavropanos, Max Kilman, and Emerson Palmieri.
As for the midfield unit, Soucek and Rodriguez will resume their partnership in the double pivot, with the duo looking to keep things tight in the middle of the park. Bowen’s injury will benefit Crysencio Summerville, who will join Mohammed Kudus, Lucas Paqueta, and Niclas Fullkrug in the final third.
Brighton & Hove Albion
The list of absentees at Brighton & Hove Albion is not out of the ordinary following their most recent game, as at least six players are missing from action, including Manchester City vs West Ham United Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
Manchester City have a good historical record against West Ham United and have won 65 out of the 122 matches played between the two teams, as opposed to West Ham United's 38 victories.
Manchester City have won 14 of their last 15 matches at home against West Ham United in the Premier League and have won each of their last eight such games in the competition.
West Ham United are winless in their last 18 matches against Manchester City in the Premier League, with their previous such victory coming by a 2-1 scoreline in September 2015.
West Ham United have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 24 matches against Manchester City in the Premier League - they have a longer such run only against Sunderland in the history of the competition.
Manchester City possible starting lineup:
Ortega; Lewis, Akanji, Ake, Gvardiol; Kovacic; Foden, Silva, De Bruyne, Savinho; Haaland
West Ham United possible starting lineup:
Areola; Wan-Bissaka, Mavropanos, Kilman, Emerson; Soucek, Rodriguez; Kudus, Paqueta, Summerville; Fullkrug
Prediction: Manchester City 3-0 West Ham United
Bowen's absence deprives West Ham of their principle attacking threat away from home, as the ex-Hull City man has registered 16 combined goals and assists in Premier League away games since the start of last season; none of his teammates has contributed more than eight. Given the sorry nature of their defensive display against Liverpool too, Lopetegui's men should be put to the sword by a revitalised Man City, set to win back-to-back games for the first time since October.
