Manchester City is all set to host West Ham at the Etihad as they chase their fourth Premier League title. Pep Guardiola and his side are on the top of the league standings and a win over the Hammers will ensure the title regardless of Arsenal’s result against Everton. However, the team could be without some of their top players ahead of the crucial game. City boss Pep Guardiola addressed the media tonight, talking about his team heading into the final day.

The reigning champions could be without Kevin De Bruyne against West Ham, with the player picking up a knock against Tottenham. While the Belgian claims he is fit for the contest, Guardiola has added that the team management will assess the situation before making a final decision.

Kevin De Bruyne will not be the only absentee if he misses the game with Ederson already ruled out the remaining games. The Brazilian had a nasty collision with Cristian Romero against Tottenham that saw Pep Guardiola take him off the field.

The Manchester City star has a fractured jaw and will miss the games against West Ham and Manchester United. Stefan Ortega will take up the job between the posts and fans will be confident of their chances with the German putting a showcase despite his brief time on the field against Tottenham.

Manchester City one win away from making history

Pep Guardiola and his side will be fueled by emotions with the team on the cusp of making history. No team in Premier League history has ever won the title for four consecutive seasons. If Manchester City can pick up the win over West Ham, the Cityzens will become the only team to achieve the feat, with rivals Manchester United the only team who came close to achieving the milestone.

The title race this season has been one for the ages with both Arsenal and Manchester City in contention for the league title. Both the Citizens and the Gunners could end up with the trophy, with the Premier League set to prepare an identical title at both the Etihad and the Emirates on the final day.

With both games kicking off at the same time, it will be interesting to see which team comes out on top at the end of the final whistle. While City just needs a win over West Ham, Arsenal has to pick up the win over Everton and hope that City drop points against the Hammers.
