Match preview
Man City head into the weekend under pressure after a difficult few days.
Pep Guardiola’s side suffered a sobering 3-0 defeat against Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.
That result has forced City to quickly refocus on the Premier League title race.
A recent 2-2 draw against Nottingham Forest saw City drop further points, leaving them seven behind leaders Arsenal with time running out.
While City remain in strong form overall, losing just one of their last 17 league games, they have shown vulnerability.
They have dropped eight points from winning positions during that run.
Erling Braut Haaland generally torments West Ham, having scored 11 league goals against them, more than he has managed against any other opponent.
The Norwegian has scored at least twice in each of his last three league meetings with them.
Meanwhile, West Ham head into the contest with renewed confidence.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have collected 14 points from their last eight league matches, a run that has lifted them closer to safety.
Their latest result, a hard-fought 1-0 win away at Fulham, provided a valuable boost, and they will look to kick on.
Crysencio Summerville has often been the spark for the Hammers. Four of his five league goals this campaign have given West Ham the lead, underscoring his importance.
West Ham vs Manchester City head-to-head stats
History heavily favours Man City heading into Saturday’s encounter.
West Ham are winless in their last 20 Premier League matches against City, drawing three and losing 17 since a 2-1 victory in September 2015.
It is the Hammers’ longest ever winless run against a single opponent in league history.
The London Stadium has also proven a particularly comfortable venue for Guardiola’s side.
West Ham have never beaten City at the ground in the league, losing seven of their nine meetings there while scoring only six goals.
The reverse fixture earlier this season followed a familiar pattern. City ran out 3-0 winners at the Etihad Stadium in December.
Guardiola personally boasts a remarkable record in the fixture. He is unbeaten in all 19 of his league matches against West Ham, winning 17 and drawing two.
That record is the longest unbeaten managerial run against a single opponent in the competition.

West Ham will be without one of their most in-form attackers for the visit of City.
Summerville is ruled out with a calf injury sustained during the FA Cup win over Brentford, depriving Nuno of a key outlet.
Defender Oliver Scarles and winger Adama Traore are also minor doubts after picking up knocks in the same match.
Goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski remains sidelined with a lower back problem.
City star Josko Gvardiol is a long-term absentee with a tibial fracture.
