Manchester City vs West Ham - LIVE!

It’s 20 wins on the bounce for Manchester City in all competitions after another success against West Ham on Saturday lunchtime.

The league leaders are now 13 points clear at the top, with Manchester United and Chelsea - who are second and third - facing each other tomorrow.

Pep Guardiola’s side needed goals from their centre-halves to overcome the in-form Hammers as Ruben Dias netted his first for the club before John Stones fired home the winner after Michail Antonio had equalised for the visitors.

City weren’t quite at their best, with Sergio Aguero looking particulalrly rusty on his first league start since October, and West Ham should have nicked a point late on when Issa Diop headed wide in stoppage time.

Man City XI: Ederson, Walker, Dias, Stones, Zinchenko, Fernandinho, Gundogan, De Bruyne, Mahrez, Torres, Aguero

West Ham XI: Randolph, Johnson, Coufal, Dawson, Diop, Cresswell, Soucek, Rice, Lingard, Fornals, Antonio
