"Since suffering a narrow 1-0 defeat away to Aston Villa at the end of October, Manchester City have gathered significant momentum, winning 10 of their last 12 matches across all competitions and scoring at least twice in all 10 of those victories. Pep Guardiola's side continued that run in midweek by defeating Brentford 2-0 to reach the Carabao Cup semi-finals, just days after a convincing 3-0 Premier League win away at Crystal Palace."
"City now sit second in the table, two points behind leaders Arsenal, and could briefly move top with a win ahead of the Gunners' clash with Everton. The Etihad Stadium has once again become a formidable venue for visiting sides. City have won 12 home league games and collected 36 points on home soil since the start of April, more than any other team in that period."
"Their only home league defeat in that time came against Tottenham, and they have won seven consecutive matches at the Etihad since. West Ham also represent a favourable opponent for the champions. City are unbeaten in their last 19 Premier League meetings with the Hammers, winning 16 and drawing three, while each of their last five victories in this fixture has seen Guardiola's side score at least three goals."
Manchester City have built strong momentum since late October, winning 10 of their last 12 matches and scoring at least twice in each victory. Recent wins include a Carabao Cup quarter-final victory over Brentford and a 3-0 league win at Crystal Palace. City sit second in the Premier League and could move top with a win. The Etihad has produced 12 home league wins and 36 points since April, with only one defeat in that span. West Ham have won just twice in 11 league matches under Nuno Espirito Santo and sit inside the relegation zone, enduring a five-game winless run.
