Man Cityvs.West Ham

sportsmole.co.uk, 16 May 2024, 09:18
Manchester City will be crowned Premier League champions for a record fourth successive season if they beat West Ham United at the Etihad Stadium in their final fixture of the campaign on Sunday.

The Citizens have on hand on the title after securing a 2-0 victory at Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday night, extending their impressive unbeaten run across all competitions to 34 games.

Pep Guardiola's side currently sit top of the table and two points clear of rivals Arsenal in second place, and they know that maximum points secured against the Hammers will clinch the title.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up their latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest with West Ham in what will be David Moyes's final game as Hammers manager.

Ederson

Status: Minor doubt

Type of injury: Eye

Possible return date: May 19 vs. West Ham United

Ederson was on the receiving end of a forceful collision with Cristian Romero in midweek and was withdrawn midway through the second half, with Guardiola stating after the match that the goalkeeper did not have concussion, but had a "problem with his eye".

The Brazilian is set to be assessed ahead of kickoff, with Stefan Ortega waiting in the wings should his services be required once again following his heroics against Spurs.

Kevin De Bruyne

Status: Minor doubt

Type of injury: Achilles

Possible return date: May 19 vs. West Ham United

Kevin De Bruyne was taken off shortly after he was caught on his Achilles by Spurs' Pape Matar Sarr. The playmaker has since revealed that he is "alright" but "really sore", so an assessment on his condition will be made prior to kickoff.

MANCHESTER CITY'S SUSPENSION LIST

Manchester City have no suspended players for this match.
