West Ham United play host to Manchester City in Saturday’s late kick off with the reigning champions eyeing up top spot in the Premier League table. Earlier today, Arsenal and Brighton played out a 1-1 draw following Declan Rice’s sending off and both teams, who had not dropped points in the league this season had to settle for one point each.

The Hammers are hoping to extend their winning run having defeated Crystal Palace 2-0 in their last league outing and Bournemouth 1-0 in the Carabao Cup. They have strengthened during the summer transfer window and new manager Julen Lopetegui will be keen to upset City today.

Pep Guardiola’s men look dangerous though and none more so than Erling Haaland. The Norwegian bagged a hat-trick in a 4-1 mauling of Ipswich and three points in London this evening will keep them at the top of the table.

Follow all the action from the London Stadium as West Ham take on Man City:

West Ham United vs Manchester City

19:38

For the second straight week, Erling Haaland fires home a hat-trick to keep Manchester City’s perfect record intact, as the peerless Premier League champions stride past West Ham at London Stadium. It ends only 3-1 to City, but a final xG of 3.16 to their hosts’ 0.68 tells the story of a dominant performance. Picking up from his treble against Ipswich last time out, Haaland struck twice before the break, either side of a Ruben Dias own-goal that brought the Hammers back into the contest. Only late on did his hat-trick secure maximum points in the capital, also extending City’s streak of league wins by two or more goals to 11 games. While West Ham will accept that the better side won, they must wait two weeks until visiting Fulham; Guardiola and co return from the international break with a home game against Brentford. That’s all from today’s live coverage, so thank you for joining us and goodbye!

FULL-TIME: WEST HAM 1-3 MANCHESTER CITY

West Ham United vs Manchester City

19:26

SAVE! Fabianski is alert to deny Haaland his fourth at one end, stopping a low shot at the near post, before West Ham break at pace. At the end of a rapid counter-attack, Summerville curls a fine shot towards the top corner, but Ederson leaps across to tip it onto the post!

West Ham United vs Manchester City

19:26

Haaland has now claimed another record – most goals from the first three matches of a Premier League campaign. He moves ahead of ex-City striker Edin Dzeko onto seven goals so far, while improving his overall average to more than one goal per game.

West Ham United vs Manchester City

19:22

There will be at least five minutes of stoppage time at the end of this second half, so still some time for West Ham to score a late consolation. They’ve improved markedly since half-time, but that simply wasn’t enough to topple their imperious opponents.

West Ham United vs Manchester City

19:20

Yellow Card Manuel Obafemi Akanji

West Ham United vs Manchester City

19:18

Incredibly, that’s six goals in just under two games for Haaland. He is now the first player to score a hat-trick in two of a team’s first three league games since Paul Jewell did so for Bradford back in 1994.

19:12

Alert to the danger, Kilman quickly shuts down De Bruyne’s run to the right byline, conceding a corner. Nothing comes of the set-piece situation though, and City try to soak up more precious time by keeping the ball.

West Ham United vs Manchester City

19:10

After Fullkrug feeds Soucek inside Man City’s area, the latter scuffs a low shot well wide of the right-hand post under pressure from Kovacic. Though they’ve had just one shot on target, West Ham are posing more of a threat and a late leveller cannot be ruled out.

West Ham United vs Manchester City

19:08

Lopetegui switches things up in midfield, with Rodriguez making way for Soucek.

Yellow Card Guido Rodríguez

West Ham have increased their possession share by 10% during this second half, but they are now in danger of becoming passive again. City are slowly squeezing their hosts, pushing them back to the edge of the box.

West Ham United vs Manchester City

19:02

Antonio’s shift is also brought to an early end; Germany striker Fullkrug comes on to lead the Hammers’ front line.

West Ham United vs Manchester City

19:02

Substitution Jack Peter Grealish Matheus Luiz Nunes

West Ham United vs Manchester City

19:02

Ruben Dias comes close to making amends for his own-goal, as he meets De Bruyne’s latest high-quality cross into the box with an outstreched boot. However, he can’t control his back-post attempt, which flies wide.

West Ham United vs Manchester City

19:00

Substitution Emerson Palmieri dos Santos Vladimír Coufal

Not only would one more goal help Manchester City put this game to bed, but it would also extend their record run of Premier League wins by two or more goals to 11 games.

18:58

Substitution Jérémy Baffour Doku İlkay Gündoğan

West Ham United vs Manchester City

18:56

SAVE! After good work by Grealish on the left side of the box, his cutback picks out Bernardo Silva in the centre. Again, the latter is unable to take advantage of an excellent situation, though, placing his shot straight at replacement goalkeeper Fabianski!

West Ham United vs Manchester City

18:52

Yellow Card Maximilian William Kilman

West Ham United vs Manchester City

18:52

Akanji intervenes with a last-gasp intervention just as Antonio is about to strike from close range, so West Ham have their very first corner-kick of the match. After Ederson punches the cross clear, Rodriguez slams an optimistic long-range attempt well wide.

West Ham United vs Manchester City

18:52

Yellow Card Emerson Palmieri dos Santos

West Ham United vs Manchester City

18:50

A raking cross from the right by Bowen is just too firm for Kudus to collect near the back post, as the hosts’ resurgence continues. The West Ham fans are alive with the possibility of turning this game around now.

West Ham United vs Manchester City

18:48

Paqueta tries to pick out a run by Emerson on the left side of the area, but his attempt is blocked. Nevertheless, West Ham continue their longest spell of pressure on Man City’s box. They are growing in confidence now.

West Ham United vs Manchester City

18:46

While there is only one goal in this contest, West Ham may feel they can snatch an improbable point. More than once, they’ve unpicked City on the counter, with Bowen and Kudus more than capable of punishing any more mistakes.

West Ham United vs Manchester City

18:44

OFF THE POST! West Ham almost strike on the break again! A breathtaking surge upfield ends with Kudus sprinting into space, and after reaching the lef side of City’s area, he lets fly with a thunderous strike. However, he looks up to see it bouncing back off the lef-hand upright! What a strike – so unlucky!

West Ham United vs Manchester City

18:44

Alvarez concedes a free-kick for fouling Lewis, and after De Bruyne delivers it into the area, Grealish pulls the ball back across the six-yard box. After a brief scramble, West Ham manage to get the ball away.

West Ham United vs Manchester City

18:40

Meeting a corner swung into the six-yard box from the left, Bernardo Silva spurns a good chance to find the target with a header and his looping effort sails over the crossbar. That was a presentable opportunity.

West Ham United vs Manchester City

18:40

Doku tries to thread the ball through for a teammate with a pass from outside the box, but a West Ham defender clears the ball to safety. Already, the same pattern of play has been resumed: City are on top.

West Ham United vs Manchester City

18:36

Having changed their goalkeeper at half-time, West Ham kick off. We are back under way in London!

Substitution Alphonse Francis Areola Łukasz Marek Fabiański

West Ham United vs Manchester City

18:28

Not only are Man City unbeaten throughout the last 20 Premier League games in which they’ve led at half-time, winning each of the last 11, but West Ham have won just one of their last eight after trailing at the break. That doesn’t suggest that a comeback is on, but stranger things have happened in football.

West Ham United vs Manchester City

18:26

Despite a half of near total dominance, Manchester City lead by just one goal at London Stadium, where hosts West Ham will probably be glad to only trail 2-1 at half-time. The Hammers started brightly, but Haaland clinically converted twice, either side of a Ruben Dias own-goal that was forced by Bowen on a rare counter-attack. Following his hat-trick last week, City’s striker has been ruthless again, though they could’ve scored more given an xG of 2.11; West Ham’s stands at just 0.05 so far. There have been few positives for Lopetegui to cling to, and turning things around against his old Barcelona teammate Guardiola truly represents a herculean task.

West Ham United vs Manchester City

18:20

HALF-TIME: WEST HAM 1-2 MANCHESTER CITY

West Ham United vs Manchester City

18:20

CLOSE! In the first minute of at least two added for stoppages, De Bruyne steps up and zips a 20-yard free-kick just over the crossbar – it grazed the top of the net on its way past. Then, Kudus beats Lewis at the other end, before firing a low shot a few feet wide of the far post!

West Ham United vs Manchester City

18:16

With Antonio set to launch a West Ham counter-strike, De Bruyne lunges in and makes an ill-timed tackle. He picks up a booking.

West Ham United vs Manchester City

18:16

Surely not finished yet, Haaland’s six goals so far in 2024-25 is the joint-most a player has ever scored in a team’s first three Premier League games of a season. He now shares that record with ex-Man City striker Edin Dzeko, who managed the same feat back in 2011.

West Ham United vs Manchester City

18:14

Doku sprints inside from the right and sends defenders backing off in fear, but just as he is about to let fly from inside the box, he loses control and sees his shot deflected behind for corner. Nothing comes of the set-piece situtation.

West Ham United vs Manchester City

18:12

CLOSE! This time, Haaland repays the favour for Lewis, flicking the ball through for his teammate in the box. The youngster flashes his shot narrowly over the target, though, and West Ham escape!

West Ham United vs Manchester City

18:10

As West Ham sense a rare counter-attacking opportunity, Antonio races down the left touchline, only to be halted just outside the box by none other than Haaland. That’s some fine tracking back from the big striker, who could instead be hanging about the opposition area and hoping to seal his hat-trick.

West Ham United vs Manchester City

18:08

Opta’s live win-predictor has Manchester City’s chances of victory at 83% now, with West Ham having just 5%. While there’s just one goal in it, though, anything can happen – however unlikely.

West Ham United vs Manchester City

18:08

As if nothing had happened, the champions follow up their second goal by laying siege to West Ham’s box once again. There’s no sitting back and admiring their work under a tough taskmaster like Guardiola.

West Ham United vs Manchester City

18:02

Remarkably, Ruben Dias has now scored three of the last four own goals that Manchester City have conceded in the Premier League. It’s his error that deprives City of a merited lead today.

West Ham United vs Manchester City

18:02

Assist Rico Henry Mark Lewis

West Ham United vs Manchester City

18:00

Goal Erling Braut Haaland

West Ham United vs Manchester City

18:00

Doku earns another Man City corner, which De Bruyne lofts towards the penalty spot. However, it strikes Bernardo Silva’s arm and the referee immediately awards a free-kick to West Ham, who breathe a collective sigh of relief. The pressure is constant.

West Ham United vs Manchester City

17:58

Following a corner from the right, Gvardiol’s looping header lands softly in the outstreched gloves of Areola, as City’s dominance continues.

West Ham United vs Manchester City

17:58

Man City have had 68% of the ball so far, but somehow they are level with West Ham midway through this first half. Will they rue shipping such a sloppy equaliser? Still, there’s plenty of time left to respond.

West Ham United vs Manchester City

17:56

Perhaps frustrated he hadn’t put his side 2-0 ahead just before they conceded, De Bruyne lets fly towards the middle of the goal from just inside West Ham’s area. Areola was watching it all the way, though, and makes a comfortable save.

West Ham United vs Manchester City

17:52

OFF THE POST! In full flight today, De Bruyne strikes the upright! Left in space, he curls a powerful shot straight against the right-hand post – then Grealish flashes the rebound just over!

West Ham United vs Manchester City

17:50

Own goal Rúben dos Santos Gato Alves Dias

West Ham United vs Manchester City

17:50

It’s all City, as West Ham passively defend inside their own half. While it may be difficult to get out, this is just inviting more pressure from the Premier League champions.

West Ham United vs Manchester City

17:50

With his fifth goal this season, Haaland (four) has moved one behind Mohamed Salah (five) in the list of opposition players to have scored most Premier League goals at London Stadium. He still looks hungry for more.

West Ham United vs Manchester City

17:46

SAVE! First, De Bruyne releases Grealish to shoot from close range, but the latter’s shot is deflected behind. Then, De Bruyne gains possession again and tests Areola with a fizzing angled strike from the left side of the area! It takes a great save to deny the Belgian playmaker!

West Ham United vs Manchester City

17:44

A corner from the left by De Bruyne is slightly overhit, so Gvardiol can’t control his back-post header. Still, the pressure is gradually building on West Ham’s goal.

West Ham United vs Manchester City

17:42

Goal Erling Braut Haaland

West Ham United vs Manchester City

17:40

As expected, after a bright start for the hosts, City are taking control of proceedings. From 20 yards out, De Bruyne drills a low shot at the first defender, as West Ham drop deep inside their defensive third.

West Ham United vs Manchester City

17:40

MISS! Grealish and Bernardo Silva combine well on the left side of the box, before the latter stands up an inviting cross for Haaland towards the back post. However, the big striker gets his header all wrong and it sails harmlessly wide. From close range, he should’ve done better!

West Ham United vs Manchester City

17:38

Man City have won each of their last five Premier League games in London by an aggregate scoreline of 15-3. They last won six successive trips to the capital back in 2018, but that will be their sole aim today.

West Ham United vs Manchester City

17:36

SAVE! West Ham’s sharp start continues! Bowen drives in from the right and lets fly with a stinging drive, and Ederson can only parry it away! That was swerving, leaving the goalkeeper unsure of just where it would go.

West Ham United vs Manchester City

17:36

City survive an early scare, as a Kudus cross from the left is deflected dangerously towards goal. Gvardiol does well to ease Antonio away from the ball near the goal-line, and it is ultimately cleared away to safety.

West Ham United vs Manchester City

17:32

Wearing black and bright yellow, Manchester City kick off and we are under way in London!

West Ham United vs Manchester City

17:32

The players are out o the pitch at London Stadium, and kick-off in this Premier League contest is now just moments away!

West Ham United vs Manchester City

17:32

Meanwhile, Guardiola opts for just a single change: Grealish makes his first start of the season for Manchester City, replacing the injured Savinho. Rodri is back on the bench, but Phil Foden misses out.

West Ham United vs Manchester City

17:30

Lopetegui makes two changes to his lineup today, as Wan-Bissaka makes his full Premier League debut for West Ham. Edson Alvarez also starts a league game for the first time since suffering an injury at the Copa America. Antonio leads the line up front, so Fullkrug is consigned to the bench.

17:10

Today aiming to make it three wins out of three at the start of theit latest Premier League campaign, Manchester City have picked up maximum points so far. Pep Guardiola’s side have scored six goals and conceded just one, with Erling Haaland netting his 10th Man City hat-trick in a 4-1 home victory over Ipswich Town last weekend. City have done the double over West Ham for the past two seasons, including a 3-1 win when the clubs last met in the capital city.

West Ham United vs Manchester City

17:10

After starting his reign as West Ham manager with a 2-1 loss to Aston Villa, Julen Lopetegui celebrated his first Premier League win last weekend, as his Hammers side secured a 2-0 victory against Crystal Palace. The London club have since progressed to the third round of the EFL Cup by beating fellow top-flight side Bournemouth 1-0, teeing up a tricky third-round trip to holders Liverpool. Now, they must face the English champions.
