West Ham v Man City: Premier League – live
Key events
West Ham make two changes to the side that won 1-0 at Fulham ten days ago. Konstantinos Mavropanos and Pablo come in for Callum Wilson, who drops to the bench, and the injured Crysencio Summerville.
Manchester City make three changes following their 3-0 capitulation at Real Madrid during the week. Omar Marmoush, Matheus Nunes and Rayan Aït-Nouri replace Jérémy Doku and Rúben Dias, who drop to the bench, and Savinho, who like John Stones is unfit and misses out altogether.

Preamble
Relegation-threatened West Ham desperately need the points; title-chasing Manchester City desperately need the points. All this yearning could lead to a highly entertaining to-and-fro, or a dramatic denouement, or a one-sided rout, or a big fat nothingburger. We start finding out what’s what at 8pm GMT. It’s on!
