I don't think Manchester City will go unbeaten, there are just too many good teams where they can go unbeaten over 38 games. If someone was to do it now then that would surpass when Arsenal did it.

I think this City team is evolving and the time and I think they have a better squad than what they did have.

They're getting better because the players are believing in everything. The level of competition - the boys that are not even in the squad are incredible.

It has taken a lot of hours on the training ground. They're getting better and their recruitment is also a large part of it.

Pep Guardiola is a serial winner, he is getting into the group wanting to raise the bar, they play beautiful football - it is set to music.

With the two Silvas rotating it doesn’t matter who plays, it will be almost like a home game, that is how dominant they are.

City take it to another level - Pep Guardiola knows what is required, he'll keep pushing this group. We are lucky to have him here, he is setting a really high standard.

The players come out of the tunnel - it's West Ham boss Manuel Pellegrini's first game against Manchester City since being replaced by Pep Guardiola.

Match of the Day commentator

To say that West Ham have struggled recently against Manchester City is an understatement: it's an aggregate score of 13-1 to City in three meetings at the London Stadium!

Manuel Pellegrini's contribution in three years at Manchester City should not be forgotten. He became the only non-European manager to win the Premier League, and only the second City boss ever to win two major trophies in one season.

All this while working under constant - and well-informed - speculation that he would be dispensed with as soon as Pep Guardiola could be persuaded to move to England.

The Hammers have done well to drag themselves up the table in recent weeks, having been bottom at the start of September. Nevertheless, Guardiola will expect three points and another healthy boost to City's goal difference.
