Manchester City come into this after a convincing 3-0 home win over Everton in their previous EPL clash last week.
Sterling, Rodri and Silva were the scorers for the hosts as City romped to a fourth successive win across competitions.
They continued their move to the top of the table and are currently 3rd in the table with 26 points.
A huge mid-week UCL win over PSG gives them confidence ahead of this very crucial clash.
On the other hand, West Ham eye a return to winning ways after their 1-0 away loss to Wolves last time out.
Jiménez scored the only goal of the clash as West Ham slipped to their 3rd defeat of the campaign.

With the festive period on the horizons, fixtures come thick and fast. Hence, West Ham need to be on their toes if they look to keep their top 4 hopes alive.
Both sides recently met in the EFL Cup Round 4 match where West Ham won 5-3 on penalties after it finished 0-0 in regulation time.
