Almost no one believes that West Ham can pose a challenge to this Manchester City side.
Manchester City once again approaches the final round of the Premier League as the frontrunner. Pep Guardiola's squad leads Arsenal by two points and only needs to defeat West Ham to clinch their fourth consecutive EPL title. However, if they draw and Arsenal wins, the title will go to the Gunners due to a superior goal difference.
On Wednesday, Manchester City played their rescheduled 34th-round EPL match against Tottenham. The Citizens triumphed 2-0 thanks to a brace from Erling Haaland, and they owe much to goalkeeper Stefan Ortega, who replaced the injured Ederson and made several remarkable saves. Prior to this, City thrashed Fulham 4-0 away from home.
It is noteworthy that this match will not mark the end of the season for Manchester City. On May 25, they are set to play the FA Cup final against Manchester United.
For a long time, West Ham was vying for a spot in European competitions, but now the Hammers sit in ninth place with 52 points and will finish the season in this position. Poor results in the second half of the season sealed the fate of David Moyes, who was dismissed by the club's management. Julen Lopetegui is expected to replace him.
In the previous round, West Ham ended a four-match winless streak. They were trailing Luton 0:1 but managed to turn the game around and won 3:1. Before that, Moyes' team suffered a humiliating 0:5 defeat to Chelsea and drew 2:2 with Liverpool.
