The Cityzens are just two points behind Mikel Arteta's side and would leapfrog the Gunners should they win on home soil.

Nuno Espirito Santo's side haven't won in five matches and still have hopes of staving off relegation this term.

Despite leading twice against Aston Villa last weekend, Morgan Rogers' double denied the Hammers of a valuable three points.

Man City vs West Ham: Premier League preview

The Cityzens will be well up for West Ham's visit, with a golden chance emerging to grab top spot before Arsenal face Everton later in the day.

City also has a brilliant record against West Ham, having not lost against their next opponents on home soil since 2015.

In terms of injuries, Guardiola will be without Oscar Bobb (hamstring), Rodri (hamstring), Mateo Kovacic (ankle/heal), Jeremy Doku and John Stones (both leg) in the treatment room.

Fellow duo Omar Marmoush and Rayan Ait-Nouri are also away on international duty with Egypt and Algeria, respectively, at the Africa Cup of Nations.

West Ham occupies the Premier League's final relegation place with 13 points, winning just three games all season.

The Hammers endured a terrible start to the campaign, with Graham Potter sacked and Espirito Santo introduced as his replacement.

Two wins, four draws and five defeats have been posted by West Ham across 11 Premier League matches since his arrival, something which will have to change quickly.

In terms of missing players, Lukasz Fabianski is still nursing a back injury, while Aaron Wan-Bissaka and El Hadji Malick Diouf are both away on international duty at AFCON.

Nuno will more than likely weigh up whether to change to a back five, with Kyle Walker-Peters and Oliver Scarles both in contention to start as wing-backs in the absence of Wan-Bissaka and Diouf.

Man City vs West Ham: Expected line-ups

FourFourTwo's prediction

Man City 3-0 West Ham

City will have a burning desire to claim top spot before Arsenal kick off at Everton, and we can see them easing to another home win.
