After coming off a triumphant win in the Champions League, Man City look to overcome another test in the Premier League against West Ham. The match schedules for Sunday at the Etihad Stadium with kickoff at 5 pm.
As West Ham coach David Moyes said, his side’s win over Rapid Vienna in the Europa League on Thursday night was a useful exercise.
Call it a revenge mission for the ages. Pep Guardiola and his Manchester City team had an absolute gem of a match against PSG on Wednesday night. The two unlikely stars helped steer the Sky Blues to a sensational 2-1 Champions League victory over the French champions.
Bernardo Silva and Joao Cancelo both scored to hand PSG their first loss in 32 games, during which they claimed 29 wins and three draws.
The pressure is on City as they try to chase down Chelsea at the top of the table, but Liverpool are just one point behind and will do their utmost to regain top spot.
West Ham will be looking to bring home the club’s second European trophy of the season on Wednesday night after recording their fifth win in seven games with a hard-fought 2-0 victory over Rapid Vienna on Matchday 4.
Defeat to Wolves ended a four-game winning streak for West Ham in the top flight and marked the first time that they had lost a Premier League game away from home since April.

Both Jack Grealish and Phil Foden are doubts for the game after missing City’s Champions League opener against PSG on Tuesday.
Kevin De Bruyne is also unlikely to return from coronavirus infection just yet, so Jesus will certainly hope to earn a recall after having a direct hand in both of his side’s goals in midweek.
