The starting line-ups are in from the Etihad Stadium where Manchester City welcome West Ham on Saturday afternoon.
Defensive trio Ederson, Rúben Dias and John Stones all remained sidelined with fitness issues for Pep Guardiola’s side, although Phil Foden starts.
Tomáš Souček and Guido Rodríguez (who is on the bench) are back from suspension for the Hammers, who are of course dealing without long-term absentee Jarrod Bowen after he sustained a bone fracture.
