West Ham vs Man City LIVE Early team news as Blues seek to keep Premier League pressure on Arsenal
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.
Pep Guardiola is likely to make changes to his team with Madrid and the Carabao Cup final with Arsenal on the horizon. Kick off is at 8pm and we’ll bring you all the build up, action, reaction and analysis right here so stay with us.
One of the most alarming points from Wednesday defeats was the emotional control that Bernardo Silva and Guardiola said the team lost after conceding the first goal. That was a sign of a team that crumbled under the pressure. They will face something similar tonight and will have to do better.
On Thursday, Nuno Espirito Santo confirmed West Ham will be without forward Crysencio Summerville for tonight's game. The former Leeds man picked up an injury in the FA Cup victory over Brentford on Monday night.
Summerville will not be available against Manchester City. We will continue to assess him day by day. We are going to miss him because he's an important player for us.
While we build up to kick off, why not take a look at the latest episode. Si and Jack disect the defeat to Real Madrid and look ahead to what it could mean for this clash with West Ham.
