West Ham vs Manchester City
Premier League 2018/19
Venue: London Stadium
Kick-off: 3pm GMT
Manuel Pellegrini takes on his former club today as West Ham host champions Manchester City in east London.
Pellegrini led City to the 2013-14 Premier League title, but made way for Pep Guardiola two years later - and City have gone from strength to strength since then.
The Chilean has had a disjointed start at West Ham with the club sitting 13th, though Pellegrini's side will fancy their chances of causing City problems having already beaten Manchester United and drawn against Chelsea at the London Stadium this season.
