How to watch Man City vs West Ham in UK and US - TV channel, live stream and early team news
Manchester City is looking to win back-to-back games for the first time since late October when they welcome West Ham United to the Etihad on Saturday.
The defending Premier League champions saw their form drop off a cliff over the course of November and December, with City picking up just two wins from their last 14 games in all competitions. Last time out, they beat Leicester City 2-0 away, beating Ruud van Nistelrooy's side thanks to goals from Erling Haaland and Savinho.
Pep Guardiola's side currently sit sixth in the Premier League, a whopping 14 points behind Arne Slot's Liverpool side. Meanwhile, West Ham come into the contest at the Etihad off the back of being dismantled by the Reds last week 5-0, with Julen Lopetegui and co looking to bounce back when they take on City.

Early team news
Manchester City will be without a host of players when they take on West Ham, with Ederson and Ruben Dias still sidelined despite them edging closer to returning from injury. Matheus Nunes and John Stones will also likely miss the game alongside long-term absentees Oscar Bobb and Rodri.
West Ham meanwhile were dealt a massive blow this week when they discovered Jarrod Bowen sustained a fractured foot during their recent 5-0 defeat to Liverpool. Goalkeeper Lukas Fabianski will miss the game due to a head injury he suffered on Boxing Day, while both Guido Rodriguez and Tomas Soucek are available to face City after serving suspensions.
