Get comfortable, put your feet up, stir the brew... oh hang on, no time for that.

Terrific work from Cheikhou Kouyate who ghosts past Yaya Toure to deliver from the left and the cross deflects off Fabian Delph and into the path of Enner Valencia.

He's 12 yards out and fires it low. It's under Joe Hart before he can move.

The bubbles swish and swash around this famous ground which will of course not be part of the Premier League next season. The ball is rolling, we are off.

The tunnel is full with men in sporting tracksuits. Manchester City's is a deep blue, West Ham sport their traditional colours.

Out onto the turf they step, the handshakes and formalities take place. Do you think the Leicester City lads are watching closely?

But, as easy on the eye as such a stat may be, it's worth looking at how Manchester City travel and how their goal tally dips a lot when they do.

Just 10 goals in 10 away league games this season. They have 33 in 12 games at home.

Noel Gallagher and Russel Brand in attendance. What could possibly go wrong?

"Last season's 2-1 defeat at Upton Park was the moment when I doubted Manchester City would win the title.

"They had 70% possession but did not have the desire or discipline to win the game. It's happened too often on their travels.

"An instant replay would be a body blow. If Dimitri Payet is at his best and the Hammers shackle Sergio Aguero, it could happen. They're unbeaten at home in five months. City have been poor away.

"West Ham haven't managed a double over City since 1963 - the year TV instant replays were first used, , externalfeaturing in coverage of the annual American football game between the US Army and Navy.

"Commentator Lindsey Nelson had to advise viewers left confused by a replay of a touchdown: 'Ladies and gentlemen, Army did not score again!'"

As the players go through the final moments of their warm up on the turf, a quick word from Jonathan Pearce, who commentates on this one for Match of the Day later....

A look at West Ham's form explains why many of their fans will down a burger or chips and have a confident feeling in their stomach ahead of kick-off.

The Hammers have lost just once since 22 November. That's 10 games, one loss - albeit in their last outing away at Newcastle.

Tough to beat then. Dimitri Payet on the field too. They look primed to ask questions and in this title race, who'd have any confidence in high-flying City answering them?

And of course, City have the 'been there, done that' card to play.

This year, only West Brom have fielded an older team than the 28 years and 182 days City average.

So they have experience, but - and it's a big but - under the lights at the Boleyn Ground, teams have been rattled.

The cries of "we shall not be moved" are coming from Leicester City.

But surely, surely if anyone is going to finally deliver some sort of telling blow in this race to the top it will be Manchester City?

Power, guile, money to add more or such qualities. It's their to lose isn't it?

"To me to you. To me to you."

The title race goes back-forth from week-to-week. You have a go, we'll have a go, let's share the lead around eh?
