Man City vs West Ham live early team news plus kick-off time and how to watch

Manchester City hope to build on victory at Leicester last time out when they welcome West Ham to the Etihad Stadium to begin 2025.

City finally got a win on Sunday, but their wider run is still two victories in 14, so building on the Leicester success will be crucial to putting the poor form behind them.

Nathan Ake has recovered from the issue that forced him off at Leicester, while Pep Guardiola will wait for news on Ederson, John Stones, and Matheus Nunes.

West Ham were beaten heavily by Liverpool last time out and will be without key striker Jarrod Bowen while goalkeeper Lukas Fabianski misses out with concussion.
