Raheem Sterling starts as Gabriel Jesus benched - Man City predicted line-up vs West Ham

Manchester City will be looking to take a giant stride towards retaining their Premier League title when they face West Ham United at the London Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

City, who beat the Hammers 2-1 at the Etihad Stadium in the reverse fixture earlier this season, know that a victory will move them six points clear of second-placed Liverpool with just one game left to play. Liverpool will have two games left because of their involvement in the FA Cup final this weekend.

Despite being dumped out of the Champions League in heartbreaking fashion by Real Madrid almost a fortnight ago, City have responded emphatically to that defeat in the Spanish capital, crushing both Newcastle United and Wolves, scoring 10 goals in the process. Wednesday night's 5-1 win over Wolves at Molineux was another statement of intent that moved Pep Guardiola's side one step closer to the title.
