West Ham United host Manchester City in the Premier League today.

West Ham United will be looking to spring a shock this afternoon as they take on Manchester City, and will hope to claim points in their battle against the drop.

The Hammers aren’t safe yet, and David Moyes will be hoping for an upset today, but he’ll have to do it without the ineligible Joe Hart, who can’t face his parent club.

Adrian takes his place in goal, and will feature behind a back five of Pablo Zabaleta, Declan Rice, Angelo Ogbonna, Aaron Cresswell and Patrice Evra, with Arthur Masuaku surprisingly dropped to the bench.

Mark Noble, Cheikhou Kouyate and Edimilson Fernandes feature in midfield, with Manuel Lanzini supporting Marko Arnautovic in the West Ham attack.

Masuaku is joined on the bench by Nathan Trott, Josh Cullen, Joao Mario, Andy Carroll, Javier Hernandez and Jordan Hugill.

Meanwhile, City have already tied up the league title and will be looking to avoid just a third league defeat of the season this afternoon.

Ederson starts in goal as usual, with Kyle Walker, Nicolas Otamendi, Aymeric Laporte and Fabian Delph in the back four ahead of him.

Fernandinho, Ilkay Gundogan and Kevin De Bruyne feature in midfield, with Raheem Sterling and Leroy Sane supporting Gabriel Jesus in attack.

Bernardo Silva is on the bench, alongside Claudio Bravo, Danilo, Benjamin Mendy, Yaya Toure, Phil Foden and Lukas Nmecha.
