Manchester City: Current form and team news
For Pep Guardiola's team, the situation before the final round of the season is quite straightforward - they need to beat West Ham to become champions. Manchester City's current form indicates that they should have no trouble winning the title for the fourth time in a row. What slightly concerns City fans ahead of the 38th round are two injuries. The loss of goalkeeper Ederson, who is out until the end of the season, has already been confirmed. However, Kevin De Bruyne could still be included in the squad against West Ham.
West Ham: Current form and team news
The Hammers sit in 9th place and have no chance of moving up or down in the Premier League table. Their upcoming match against Man City is merely a chance to give their coach, David Moyes, a proper send-off. The team has fewer injuries than before, but some players like Kalvin Phillips, Konstantinos Mavropanos, and Nayef Aguerd are unlikely to play at the Etihad Stadium.

Manchester City are unbeaten in their last 16 Premier League games against West Ham, since a 2-1 home loss in September 2015.

The Hammers have conceded at least once in all 17 of their Premier League games at the Etihad Stadium.
The Blues go into this match looking to become the first team in the history of the English top-flight to win four titles in a row. It would be Pep Guardiola's sixth Premier League title overall.
Before their 1-0 defeat at Brentford last season, Manchester City had won their final league game in each of Pep Guardiola's first six seasons in charge.
Manchester City vs West Ham: Prediction and Betting Tips
With all due respect to David Moyes, it is doubtful that his team will go to great lengths to secure a remarkable result at the Etihad that could impact the title race. Whether De Bruyne is playing or not, City are capable of defeating West Ham in their current state, and they are likely to do so in a champion-like and spectacular manner.
