Pep Guardiola is confident injuries will not derail his Manchester City side as they bid to close out the Premier League title.

Manchester City can put one hand on the Premier League trophy on Sunday should they beat West Ham to extend their three-point lead over Liverpool at the top of the table.

City have been in scintillating form since a 2-2 draw with Liverpool last month left the title race on a knife edge.
