Man City vs West Ham: Premier League prediction, TV channel, team news, lineups, h2h, live stream, odds today

West Ham’s push for Europe faces its toughest test yet as they face Manchester City’s winning machine this lunchtime.

City are 10 points clear at the rop of the Premier League table and are still in with a chance of a unique quadruple season after winning an incredible 19 games in a row in all competitions.

In seasons past, West Ham fans would be fearing a trip to the Etihad to face a City side in this sort of form - but this game offers Davd Moyes’ side another chance to test where they stand after a fine season.

The Hammers beat Tottenham 2-1 last weekend to go fourth in the race for the Champions League. Still, with the likes of Chelsea and champions Liverpool hot on their tail, the east Londoners can’t afford to drop too many points at this stage - even if their opponents have forgotten how to lose.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Man City vs West Ham is scheduled for a 12:30pm GMT kick-off today, February 27, 2021.
