How both teams go into Man City vs West Ham

After securing seven victories in their first nine matches, along with two draws, there was a palpable sense of anxiety surrounding the prospect of Manchester City clinching a fifth consecutive Premier League title. However, the situation has dramatically shifted, as Pep Guardiola’s men have experienced a significant downturn in form. In their subsequent nine games, they’ve picked up only one win and two draws, resulting in six losses. This disappointing run has left them four points adrift of the Champions League qualification spots and a staggering 14 points behind league leaders Liverpool, who have a game in hand.

On a more positive note, West Ham has recently found some momentum, going unbeaten in their last four matches and accumulating eight points from a possible 12 before being downed 5-0 by Liverpool. This resurgence has brought them within eight points of City, highlighting the competitive nature of the league. Despite this improvement, West Ham remains entrenched in the lower half of the table, indicating that while they are making strides, they still have significant challenges ahead to climb higher in the standings. The contrasting fortunes of these two clubs underscore the unpredictable nature of the Premier League this season.
