PREVIOUS MEETING
Our last home encounter with West Ham secured history for the Club, as our 3-1 win meant we became the first ever men’s team to win four Premier League titles in a row.
Phil Foden took just 79 seconds to fire us into the lead before doubling our advantage when he turned in Jeremy Doku’s pinpoint cross in the 18th minute.
West Ham’s Mohammed Kudus pulled a goal back with a stunning overhead kick just before half-time before Rodrigo’s elegant finish restored our two-goal lead.
It secured the 10th top-flight title in our history and sixth in seven seasons.
In the reverse fixture earlier this season at the London Stadium in August, Erling Haaland struck a hat-trick to inspire us to a 3-1 win.
LAST TIME OUT
City returned to winning ways to end 2024, as Savinho and Erling Haaland got the goals to beat Leicester City at the King Power Stadium in Guardiola‘s 500th match in charge of the Club.
