"Pep Guardiola's side have the chance to go to the top of the table ahead of Arsenal's trip to Everton later in the evening. That should be a huge incentive for the home side, who are looking to reclaim their crown lost to Liverpool last season. And they have been in excellent form as well, losing just once at home this season, to Tottenham. The Hammers remain in the relegation zone and have a slim chances of moving out of it heading into Christmas week. But the Premier League is as unpredictable as ever, and you can never count out an upset."
"Manchester City are dealing with several injury concerns. Oscar Bobb misses out after sustaining a hamstring issue against Brentford, joining Rodri, Mateo Kovacic, Jeremy Doku and John Stones on the sidelines. Omar Marmoush and Rayan Ait-Nouri are unavailable due to Africa Cup of Nations commitments, but Guardiola recalls several first-choice players, including Erling Haaland, who has scored nine Premier League goals against West Ham. Rayan Cherki remains a creative force at the Etihad, having registered five assists in his last four home league appearances despite limited minutes."
