Former Liverpool defender Mark Lawrenson believes Manchester City could find themselves under pressure from set-pieces if they are forced to deploy a makeshift defence against West Ham United.

Manchester City will be aiming to take a giant stride towards securing the Premier League title when they travel to the London Stadium to face West Ham United this afternoon.
The Hammers put their recent Europa League semi-final exit to the back of their minds as they crushed Norwich City 4-0 at Carrow Road last Sunday but David Moyes was forced into three changes during the game.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has been dealt a fitness worry ahead of his team’s crucial clash with West Ham United today in the Premier League title race.
West Ham host Manchester City later today and both sides have battles to fight.
West Ham forward Michail Antonio has remained coy on the future of in-demand teammate Declan Rice, amid interest from Manchester United.
For Man City the equation is simple: win their final two games of the season and they will be crowned Premier League champions. Guardiola’s side beat Newcastle 5-0 and Wolves 5-1 in their last two outings as they look angry and fired up after their defeat to Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League semifinal. That said, defensive injuries have piled up with Kyle Walker, Ruben Dias and John Stones out for the season, while Fernandinho and Aymeric Laporte both limped off during their win at Wolves in midweek. City have won five PL games in a row (scoring 22 and conceding two in the process) as they power towards a fourth Premier League title in the last five seasons. That said, these defensive injuries could cause them problems against West Ham and Villa in their final two games as both of those sides are more than capable of causing an upset. They have a three-point lead over second-place Liverpool (and a seven-goal advantage on goal differential) but one slip and Liverpool will be right back in this.
