West Ham vs. Man City: Confirmed Lineups and Predicted Starting XI with Team News on Phil Foden and Rodri's Return

Manchester City are looking to secure their third consecutive victory before the international break as they prepare to face West Ham.

Pep Guardiola's team boast a superb record at the London Stadium, having won six and drawn two of their Premier League visits.

The Hammers lost on the opening weekend to Aston Villa on home turf but Julen Lopetegui got a maiden win as manager under his belt with a 2-0 triumph at Crystal Palace last time out.

Here, The Sporting News has a look at all the latest team news for the fixture in London as City bid to maintain their strong start to 2024/25.

Nicklas Fullkrug and Aaron Wan-Bissaka came off the bench with the game at Palace locked at 0-0 and are each pushing for their first starts.

Jean-Clair Todibo might have to make do with being on the bench once more, where Crysencio Summerville will be a game-changing option if required. 

West Ham predicted XI (4-1-4-1, right to left): Areola (GK) — Wan-Bissaka, Mavropanos, Kilman, Emerson — Rodriguez —  Bowen, Soucek, Paqueta, Kudus — Fullkrug.

Phil Foden missed the 4-1 win over Ipswich Town due to illness but is set to return, potentially with Kevin De Bruyne dropping to the bench if Guardiola wants to manage the minutes of his star playmaker.

Mateo Kovacic deputised expertly for Rodri during the opening weeks of the season but the Croatia international limping out of the Ipswich game and Spain's Euro 2024 hero returning to full training this week points towards a fairly obvious swap.

Man City predicted XI (3-3-1-3 right to left): Ederson (GK) — Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol — Lewis, Rodri, Silva — Foden — Savinho, Haaland, Doku.

Injured: Kovacic, Bobb
Suspended:
