Man Cityvs.West Ham

The Citizens picked up a much-needed three points in England's top flight on Sunday, beating Leicester City 2-0 at the King Power Stadium, which proved to be just their second league success since the end of October.

Pep Guardiola's side have dropped down to sixth spot in the Premier League table due to their recent struggles, and they currently sit 14 points behind the leaders Liverpool, who still have a game in hand.
