However, the Citizens boast an impressive run in the league, being undefeated in their last seven Premier League matches. They have also scored at least two goals in six of their last seven Premier League games, highlighting their potent attack.
The last encounter between these two sides took place in December 2025, where Manchester City secured a comfortable 3-0 victory over West Ham at their home ground.

West Ham vs Man City Team News
West Ham are facing some injury concerns ahead of this critical fixture. The home side is sweating on the fitness of star winger Crysencio Summerville, who suffered a calf problem in their recent FA Cup tie against Brentford and is listed as doubtful. Goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski and Pablo are also injured, while Adama Traoré is doubtful with a knock.
Manchester City have fewer injury worries, though they will be without Josko Gvardiol and Mateo Kovacic, both injured. Rico Lewis is listed as doubtful with an ankle problem but could make a return. Manager Pep Guardiola is expected to recall Rayan Aït-Nouri and Matheus Nunes to the starting XI after they were benched for the Champions League fixture.

West Ham vs Man City Match Prediction
West Ham United find themselves in a difficult spot as they try to climb out of the relegation zone in the Premier League. While they showed some fighting spirit with a recent penalty shootout win in the FA Cup, their league form has been worrying, particularly against stronger opponents.
The Hammers have struggled defensively this season, often looking vulnerable to attacks down the wings, long-range efforts, and set pieces. They have also had issues keeping possession and taking their chances, which could be a major problem against a side like City.
Manchester City, despite a recent setback in the UEFA Champions League, remain one of the most dangerous attacking teams in Europe. Their ability to control games through possession, create chances through wide areas, and finish clinically makes them a tough opponent for any side.
Given City’s strong record against West Ham and their consistent goal-scoring form, the visitors will start as clear favourites. The absence of players such as Crysencio Summerville for West Ham only adds to the challenge facing the home side.
Prediction: West Ham 1-3 Man City
