Manchester City<\/a> will look to keep the pressure on Arsenal<\/a> in the Premier League<\/a> title race as they travel to West Ham<\/a> on Saturday evening.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pep Guardiola’s men were flying until they twice threw away the lead to draw 2-2 at home to Nottingham Forest in their last league match. That, coupled with Arsenal beating Brighton, means they’re now seven points behind Mikel Arteta’s side, though they do have a game in hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hosts West Ham are still in the bottom three, but should pose a stern test for Man City, given Liverpool and Chelsea are the only sides to beat them in their last eight league matches and their last 10 in all competitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Man City predicted lineup vs West Ham<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Man City (4-3-3):<\/strong> Donnarumma; Nunes, Dias, Guehi, Ait-Nouri; Rodri; Silva; Semenyo, Cherki, Foden; Haaland<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Citizens might make a couple of changes from their bruising 3-0 defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions League, including bringing the likes of Phil Foden, Rayan Cherki and Rayan Ait-Nouri back into the starting lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Man City team news vs West Ham<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rico Lewish hasn’t featured since mid-February due to an ankle injury but has a slight chance of making the squad here — though he’s been out of favour all season anyway. However, Josko Gvardiol won’t be seen again until early May and will be a huge miss for Guardiola. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mateo Kovacic has also been out long-term with an ankle injury, though he’s back in training and will be eyeing a place back in the squad sooner rather than later. <\/p>\n\n\n
