West Ham United vs Man City – Predicted lineup and team news

West Ham United host Manchester City at the London Stadium tonight, aiming to secure a historic first victory at the venue against the Citizens and climb out of the relegation zone.

The Hammers have moved into the final nine games of the season, sitting 18th in the table, trailing Nottingham Forest only on goal difference. Manager Nuno Espírito Santo oversaw a crucial win over Fulham last time out, and his side has lost only twice in 2026.

Notably, West Ham are winless in their last 20 league meetings with City, but Nuno’s personal record of four wins over Pep Guardiola provides a glimmer of hope for the East London faithful.

Nuno Espírito Santo manages a squad dealing with a significant creative blow. Notably, Crysencio Summerville is ruled out with a calf injury, a major loss considering he has scored seven goals in his last 11 appearances.

Consequently, January signing Pablo Felipe is expected to start in a front three alongside Jarrod Bowen and Valentín Castellanos. The Hammers will, however, be boosted by the return of Mads Hermansen, Jean-Clair Todibo, and El Hadji Malick Diouf, all of whom were rested during the week.

Mads Hermansen will start in goal behind a defensive line featuring Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Konstantinos Mavropanos. In midfield, Soungoutou Magassa is likely to partner Mateus Fernandes and Tomáš Souček to provide the physical presence needed to disrupt City’s rhythm.

Notably, Crysencio Summerville has opened the scoring in four of the five games he’s netted in this term; without him, the goalscoring burden falls heavily on Bowen, who scored twice in the FA Cup on Monday.
