The Hammers are in 6th place, still trying to chase a Europa slot while City will be looking to move six points clear at the summit of the Premier League table.
With this in mind, we can expect a competitive game here. Our Premier League predictions for this clash will be derived from Betking and Greatodds.
WEST HAM UNITED
West Ham responded to their Europa League exit in style when they travelled to Carrow Road to face Norwich in midweek, putting in four goals without reply against the already relegated Norwich side. A brace from Benrahama and strikes from Lanzini and Michail Antonio saw them keep their hopes of a return to Europa alive, with two matches left on the Premier League calendar.
A win for them here will see them move level on points with sixth-placed Manchester United and their superior goal difference means they would actually leapfrog them into that 6th Europa league slot ahead of their last match of the season away at Brighton.
That is however easier said than done. Man City are as tough an assignment as they can get and they will need to bring their A-game against the champions and that might still not be enough given how City have been playing lately!
MANCHESTER CITY
With Liverpool engaged in battle with Chelsea in the FA Cup final at Wembley on Saturday, defending champions Man City have an opportunity to open up a 6-point cushion atop the Premier League table if they can pick up a win on this visit to London.
Like the hosts, they too came up short in Europe after they were eliminated in the semifinals of the Champions League by Real Madrid who pulled an unlikely comeback by scoring twice in added time in the 2nd leg to force extra time which they ended up winning.
They have since turned on the Premier League with a tunnel vision and have mollywhopped the teams they have met since their exit from the Champions League. They will be looking to continue that dominance here.

WEST HAM VS MANCHESTER CITY PREDICTIONS
Man City’s singular focus is on defending their Premier League title. They have been putting games away at the earliest opportunity. They are unbeaten in their last 17 PL games (14W, 3D) and their 5-1 midweek win over Wolves made them the first team in Premier League history to win 5 consecutive games by a margin of at least three goals. The Hammers will not roll over easily but City just have the momentum and the array of weapons to take care of business here. We are backing them to win with a -1 handicap @ 2.03 with Betking as our opening betting tip today.
As is customary to their style of play, City will dominate the possession here with the Hammers likely to rely on counterattacks whenever the opportunity presents itself. Either way, we are going to have a lot of goalmouth action in this game and that certainly enhances the potential of corners in this game. Greatodds have Over 9.5 Corners priced @ 1.53 and we feel this would be a good option to pick for our last call from this clash.
We have more sure straight wins tomorrow for you from a selection of league games coming up as we get to the tail end of the top leagues across Europe.
