And Man City manager Pep Guardiola will obviously be in the same boat. His team have looked unstoppable at times.

However, there is some bad news for Pep ahead of this weekend’s game…

Manchester City have big injury concerns ahead of West Ham clash

A win for the Hammers actually could take us to the top of the table on Saturday.

We all know that our chances of beating Man City are slim, but they could be without four key players this weekend.

According to Premier Injuries, Kevin De Bruyne is definitely ruled out, whilst John Stones, Mateo Kovacic and Jack Grealish are all doubtful.

Guardiola has an immensely talented group of players at his disposal. However, those four names are hugely important to the way in which his team operates.

West Ham can beat Man City, if each and every player Moyes selects is on the their very best form.

They are the best team in the world in my opinion, but they’re not infallible. If the Hammers make it hard for Man City by being aggressive in our approach, then anything can happen.

And the visitors may well find it hard against an in-form West Ham side at the London Stadium, without many of their key players.
