A very good afternoon to you all from a bright and sunny Etihad Stadium.
City are back in Premier League action as we welcome West Ham for what will be our final fixture ahead of next week’s Christmas festivities.
After the deluge of the past few days we have been greeted by the welcome sight of blue skies and a strange orange orb in the sky!
The game comes in the midst of what has been a packed and demanding December schedule – and so far Pep Guardiola’s side have risen to every challenge.
From five games to date across the calendar month we have recorded five straight wins and another success today would send City top of the table -at least for a few hours before current leaders Arsenal play later this evening.
No lack of incentive then!
