Currently, Man City sits in 2nd place in the Premier League standings with 34 points, while West Ham is struggling in 18th position, teetering on the brink of relegation.
Match Analysis
In their recent matches, Man City has been in formidable form, securing three consecutive wins, including an impressive 5-4 victory against Fulham away from home. Their attacking prowess is underscored by an average of 2.8 goals scored per game over the last five matches, paired with a solid defensive record, conceding only 0.6 goals on average. With two clean sheets in their last five games, Man City's defense has been resilient, adding to their advantage.
Conversely, West Ham's recent performances have been less promising. Despite a spirited display against Aston Villa, where they narrowly lost 3-2, they have not secured a win in their last three outings. Their inability to keep a clean sheet has been a persistent issue, as they continue to concede an average of 1.6 goals per game.

Final Prediction
Man City's offensive and defensive strengths provide them with a clear edge over West Ham in this matchup. The Citizens' ability to both score prolifically and defend resolutely positions them as the likely victors. A key factor to watch will be Man City's attacking strategies against West Ham's shaky defense, which could determine the flow and outcome of the game.
