IT IS ABOUT TIME one of the worst records in the Premier League got re-written at London Stadium.
[West Ham](https://www.claretandhugh.info/west-ham-vs-manchester-city-preview-team-news-predicted-line-ups/) have a pretty awful record in recent years against todays visitors: Ever since the Citizens ‘got rich’ they have been a dominant force in east London.
As I write this the result of the Arsenal fixture isn’t defined as they have the 1730 kick off -but more than likely the Gunners’ gap will be back to ten points ahead of Manchester City before West Ham kick off against their Championship-chasing opponents tonight.
Ten points must feel like the season is done and dusted. And coming on top of Guardiola’s side’s first half hammering by Real Madrid on Wednesday there is just a chance they might be _human after all_ and not be ready for a spirited West Ham coming at them straight out of the blocks in front of an energised home crowd.
Which is probably the only way Nuno’s side can hope to take points off their opponents.
With that in mind, Nuno is more than likely to keep his attacking style of play despite missing the injured Crysencio Summerville. He has a host of midfield options with Freddie Potts back after his three game suspension. Our own forecast is that West Ham will set up with 4-2-3-1:
Hermansen | Wan Bissaka, Disasi, Todibo, Diouf | Soucek, Fernandes | Traore, Pablo, Bowen | Castellanos
