As It Happened: Manchester City 2-1 West Ham United
Good morning everyone and welcome from the Etihad Stadium! It’s the Premier League’s game of the weekend between fourth-place West Ham United and leaders Manchester City. To give you an idea how well both teams have been performing, in 2021, West Ham and City have played 20 Premier League matches between them, winning 18, drawing one and losing just one! That form has seen both rise into the top four, with City putting themselves ten points clear at the top and West Ham giving themselves an opportunity to challenge for European qualification. There is a long way to go, though – 13 games, to be precise – and the Hammers will need to be at their very best to get anything from today’s lunchtime kick-off. We get underway here on a sunny day in Manchester at 12.30pm and, don’t forget, the match is being shown live in the UK by BT Sport 1 and BT Sport Ultimate, and across the world by the Premier League’s international broadcast partners. We’ll have the team news confirmed for you an hour ahead of that at 11.30am, so stay with us for that and all the big match build-up!
