32
15:34
When the game is broadcast, an interview that was recorded before the game is shown. The world feed seems to be having problems. In any case, the Citizens clear the free kick from the left half-field, but now only Kevin De Bruyne can be seen.
31
15:32
Fabiański intercepts a failed cross and hurls the ball over the halfway line into Antonio’s path, who at least wins a free-kick in a duel with Fernandinho.

Tooor for West Ham United, 1-0 through Jarrod Bowen
The flag stays down for now! The Hammers lead out of nowhere. Fabiański’s shot is briefly blocked to the right where Pablo Fornals stands and spins the ball straight into Bowen’s barrel.

Three Skyblues players await the short cross from Mahrez, who lifts the leather sensitively into the middle, but overplays all colleagues. Grealish misses the ball by inches.

15:19
Michail Antonio relieved the Hammers a little, drove the ball completely through the opponent’s half, but was then successfully separated from the ball by Fernandinho and another defender.
17
15:18
Now Fabiański is causing a stir by dropping a deep cross from De Bruyne, almost inviting Grealish. Shortly before the attacker, however, he throws himself on the ball and is then awarded a free kick when Grealish follows up.
16
15:17
Now Cancelo plays a strong cross, which is crossed in the center for Jesus. However, the Brazilian has to control the bouncing ball with his back to goal and eventually loses it to Zouma.
15
15:15
City are pushing the Hammers deep into their own half but are unable to create any chances at the moment. But the backward movement is very strong when West Ham conquers the ball and wants to switch.
11
15:12
Suddenly one of the line judges goes down, but the situation clears up with a laugh. After a header duel on the touchline, Laporte ran back to the back line practically blind and accidentally stepped on the assistant’s foot. The oddity ends with a handshake.
8th

14:43
In the first leg, the Citizens won 2-1 against West Ham United. İlkay Gündoğan put the ball ahead in the 33rd minute, which was only extended by Fernandinho in the 90th minute before Manuel Lanzini even pulled the ball back late in added time. The Hammers fared better in the League Cup, where they held 0-0 for 90 minutes and then won 5-3 on penalties.
14:35
Despite a clear 5-1 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers, Pep Guardiola rotates to three positions. Gabriel Jesus, Jack Grealish and Riyad Mahrez are allowed to whirl on offense. İlkay Gündoğan, Phil Foden and Raheem Sterling are only on the bench for the time being.
14:28
Hammers coach David Moyes has to lament Saïd Benrahma’s absence. The striker is missing with ankle problems. Tomáš Souček will replace him in the starting XI. Otherwise there are no changes compared to the recent 0: 4 success in Norwich.
14:19
But the opponent might be a problem. Manchester City could be crowned champions today if they take a point while Liverpool lose tonight. For the Skyblues, however, victories count first and foremost, which is why they have won the last five games in the Premier League with a record of 22:2 goals. This not only gives them a three-point lead over Liverpool, it also put them slightly ahead on goal difference.
14:09
One point would be enough for the Hammers at the end of the season to qualify for the Europa Conference League. However, the eyes are on sixth place and thus the Europa League. With a game in hand, West Ham are just three points behind Manchester United. After reaching the semi-finals of the Europa League this year, they are keen to attack again.
14:00
Manchester City want their eighth championship. West Ham want to play in the Europa League again. It starts at 3:00 p.m.!
