Man City vs West Ham LIVE
Premier League 2018-19
Venue: Etihad Stadium
Kick-off: 8pm GMT, tonight
Referee: Stuart Atwell
Manchester City welcome West Ham to the Etihad Stadium tonight as they resume their battle for top spot in the Premier League with Liverpool.
City celebrated winning their second consecutive EFL Cup on Sunday but their focus now shifts back to league matters with Jurgen Klopp’s side leading them by a single point following Sunday’s goalless draw with Manchester United.
Liverpool are in action against Watford at Anfield as well tonight, meaning there is no room for error for the champions.

Score prediction: Man City 3-0 West Ham
The absences of Fernandinho and Laporte over the coming weeks could have a big role to play in where the title lands in May but City will feel they more than enough to overcome this midweek test.
Wednesday’s hosts have won the last six meetings, regularly at a canter having put four past the Hammers in each of their last two meetings.
