Manchester City may have gone down to Juventus in Tuesday’s Champions League group game but they still have a perfect Premier League record. Five wins, five clean sheets, 11 goals and 15 points means West Ham United will be wary on arrival at the Etihad Stadium. Yet Slaven Bilic’s team have already defeated Arsenal (2-0) and Liverpool (3-0) on their travels so it could be a tough afternoon for the hosts. Jamie Jackson
