Man City fans react to starting line-up vs West Ham as Aymeric Laporte fit enough to start

Manager Pep Guardiola has named his starting line-up for Manchester City's huge Premier League clash against West Ham United at the London Stadium this afternoon.

City, who beat the Hammers 2-1 in the reverse fixture at the Etihad Stadium back in November, will be looking to take a giant stride towards retaining the Premier League title after hammering Wolves 5-1 on Wednesday. The Blues know that a win this afternoon will leave them requiring just a point on the final day of the season, should Liverpool win at Southampton on Tuesday.

City enter this afternoon's clash three points clear at the summit, meaning their destiny is in their own hands. A victory will put them on the cusp of retaining their crown, whereas a draw or a defeat would swing the door back open for Liverpool to maintain their realistic hopes of wrestling the title back from them.
