Team news
Manchester City team news & squad
Following his recovery from a muscle injury, Nathan Ake may make an appearance in the upcoming match against West Ham, according to City boss Guardiola. The former Chelsea defender had missed the last three games due to a thigh injury, but has since returned to full training.
On the other hand, it seems less unlikely that Kevin De Bruyne will feature in the match, as he did not train with the squad prior to Tuesday's late afternoon session.
Erling Haaland has been breaking goal records for fun this campaign and he scored his 50th goal of the season for City in their win over Fulham on Sunday. He will be raring to go again and will lead the line for the team from the blue side of Manchester.

During West Ham's loss against Crystal Palace, Kurt Zouma sustained an ankle injury while trying to block a shot, which forced him to leave the pitch in the first half. According to head coach David Moyes, the centre-back might have to sit out for a few weeks
Apart from Zouma and Gianluca Scamacca, who is out due to a knee injury, the Hammers have no other absentees.
Michail Antonio and Danny Ings will continue to compete for the centre-forward spot. It is likely that Angelo Ogbonna will return to the starting lineup in place of Zouma.
