West Ham vs Man City LIVE early team news and how to watch Premier League clash

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of Manchester City’s Premier League trip to West Ham United.

The Blues suffered a chastening night in the Champions League in midweek, losing 3-0 to Real Madrid in the first leg of their last-16 tie.

That result means City have a mountain to climb in Tuesday’s second leg at the Etihad but before then comes tonight’s crucial top flight fixture in London.

City begin the weekend seven points behind leaders Arsenal but with a game in hand. The Gunners host Everton this afternoon and could stretch their lead ahead of City kicking off.
