Unbeaten leaders Manchester City are targeting a fifth straight Premier League victory as they visit a West Ham United side who are unbeaten in their last three matches.

Team news

West Ham striker Andy Carroll and midfielder Jack Wilshere are available for selection having recovered from ankle operations.

Manchester City will be without Bernardo Silva after he picked up a knock while on international duty but Nicolas Otamendi is available to play.

Benjamin Mendy, who has been ruled out for 10 to 12 weeks, Kevin De Bruyne and Claudio Bravo are on the long-term injury list.

West Ham are looking to secure a second consecutive home league win for the first time since December 2016, when they beat Burnley and Hull City.

The Hammers will be aiming to improve their PL record against teams lying top of the table, having won only one of their last 15 matches against the leaders. However, that victory came against Man City, in September 2015.

Man City can become the second ever non-London club to win six consecutive top-flight fixtures in the capital after Portsmouth, who achieved that feat between December 1950 and December 1951.

David Silva has been directly involved in eight goals in his 11 PL matches against West Ham, with four strikes and four assists. He only has a better record against Newcastle United in the competition, having been involved in nine goals.
