A huge game takes place in the Premier League this Sunday as West Ham hosts Manchester City at the London Stadium.
Manchester City fans will be on top of the world this week after they secured the signature of Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland. The Norwegian is one of world football's hottest properties and City have managed to get their hands on him for what seems like a bargain of just €60 million. They'll also be looking to go one step further towards the Premier League title in this game with a win after they battered Wolves in midweek - maintaining their three-point lead over Liverpool.
The game is equally important for West Ham, who are still chasing an elusive European spot. A win would take them above Manchester United on goal difference and into a Europa League spot - so both teams certainly have something to play for.

David Moyes's side may be without a few key players for this fixture. Both Michail Antonio and Craig Dawson are doubtful due to recent injuries. Said Benrahma also picked up an injury against Norwich last weekend, so he's out along with Angelo Ogbonna - who is out for the season.
Pep Guardiola’s side on the other hand have somewhat of a defensive crisis. Aymeric Laporte and Fernandinho both went off injured against Wolves in midweek and are now doubtful, which means they join fellow defenders Kyle Walker, John Stones and Ruben Dias on the sidelines.
Neither side have any suspensions they need to worry about.
Manchester City Predicted XI: Ederson; Cancelo, Ake, Rodri, Zinchenko; De Bruyne, Silva, Gundogan; Mahrez, Sterling, Foden
West Ham Predicted XI: Fabianski; Coufal, Zouma, Diop, Cresswell; Soucek, Rice; Bowen, Fornals, Vlasic; Yarmolenko
