Manchester City vs West Ham Match Preview
Manchester City faces West Ham on the final day of the Premier League season. A win at home would crown Pep Guardiola’s side champions no matter Arsenal’s result at the Emirates.

The Cityzens are the clear favourites coming into the final day, something that may have been expected at the start of the season. However, it was not as clear as some may have imagined throughout it.
This season, fans enjoyed a thrilling tree horse race for the title between Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool that we had not seen in a long time. Even though Jürgen Klopp´s side fell short in the final stretch, the Gunners have not lost track like last season and the Premier League Champion will be decided on the final day of the season.
Manchester City managed a crucial 2-0 victory over Tottenham on Tuesday to go top of the league. Even though they are still yet to play against West Ham, the end of the game felt like the knockout punch in the title fight. Their two-point advantage over Arsenal means they depend solely on themselves to become champions once again. If they manage to do so it would mean their fourth consecutive Premier League title, a new record for English football.
West Ham faces the final day with their season already concluded. Their last game was a 3-1 win over Luton Town at London Stadium, practically sentencing them to relegation. It will be David Moyes’s last game in charge of the team to end his second stint at the club. It was a more than successful period with the Irons, as last season’s triumph in the Europa Conference League being the standout moment. That gave the Hammers their first major trophy after 43 years.

Manchester City vs West Ham Prediction
Manchester City win at 1.08
The masters of the final run-in seem to have done it once again and it is hard to believe West Ham will spoil their party on Sunday. The best team of the Premier League once again, they may have lacked that x factor of the two previous seasons, but they are surely deserving champions.
Manchester City is on an eight-game win streak in the Premier League and has also won their last seven games against the Hammers at the Etihad. The stats do not show even a glimpse of hope for Arsenal fans but in football, anything can happen.
Manchester City vs West Ham Tips
Both teams to score, no at 1.90
Manchester City scoring is a practical guarantee, but we cannot say the same for West Ham. Pep Guardiola’s side have been outstanding defensively in their last games managing four clean sheets in their last five games just conceding once in their 5-1 win over Wolverhampton.
