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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Manchester City want their eighth championship. West Ham want to play in the Europa League again. It starts at 3:00 p.m.!
