The starting lineups are in ahead of Manchester City’s clash with West Ham | OneFootball

Manchester City and West Ham have confirmed their starting lineups ahead of today’s match at the Etihad. It looms as a pivotal Premier League fixture for both teams. Pep Guardiola’s side will be looking to build on their 2-nil win over Leicester City last weekend. West Ham will be desperate for three points to take pressure off of manager Julen Lopetegui.

For Manchester City, they will enter today’s game with several players unavailable due to injury. Rodri, Oscar Bobb, Ruben Dias and John Stones are all out of today’s match. There was positive news this week with Matheus Nunes and Ederson returning to training this week. The pair will likely return via the bench if they are deemed fit enough to return to the Manchester City match-day squad.

Here are the starting lineups ahead of today’s match.
