Prediction: Man City 3-0 West Ham
Man City are starting to show their title credentials after securing a fourth win on the bounce at Crystal Palace - with 14 goals in the process - to remain two points behind the Gunners.
And with City playing before Arsenal's trip to Everton, a fifth straight victory would send Pep Guardiola's side top of the Premier League, albeit maybe for just a few hours.
West Ham led 1-0 and 2-1 against Aston Villa last Sunday, but it ultimately proved a familiar story for Nuno Espirito Santo's strugglers, who extended their winless run to five games and sit three points from safety.
The Hammers have not beaten City in the Premier League since September 2015.
