The Cityzens are on the brink of another Premier League title

The Etihad hosts Manchester City and West Ham in the last game of the season on Sunday. Man City currently sit top of the Premier League coming into the last game of the season. In 37 games, City have 27 wins, 7 draws and 3 losses, leaving them on 88 points, two points above Arsenal at the top of the league.

All Man City needs is a win in this fixture over the Hammers to lift the 2023-2024 Premier League title. If Pep Guardiola’s side gets all three points against West Ham, Arsenal’s win over Everton in their last fixture of this season will not affect the overall title scenario. The home side needs to give their best performance to win the title once again.

West Ham, sits 9th in the Premier League coming into the final weekend. In 37 games, The Hammers have 14 wins, 10 draws and 13 losses. West Ham’s performance this season have been disappointing and they will be looking to finish the season on a positive note, it will be a very difficult match for the away team for sure but fans will love this fixture without a doubt.

Players to Watch

Phil Foden (Manchester City)

He is ambitious and forward-thinking with both his passing and his dribbling, Foden also scans his surroundings constantly and knows exactly what the picture is behind him, which makes him particularly effective between the lines. He is very easily able to glide past defenders and his technical ability makes him very special.

Mohammed Kudus (West Ham)

The Ghanaian’s direct style makes him constantly look to take on players and create chances. Technical ability is one of Kudus’ strengths, he drives with the ball with his head up looking for the options to create. One of Kudus’ biggest strengths is his versatility and relative spatial awareness depending on his role. His technical ability and game understanding make him very dangerous in many different roles.
