94'FT: Man City 2-1 West Ham!!! All over at the Etihad!! Man City were nowhere near their best, but goals from Ruben Dias and John Stones either side of Michail Antonio's goal gave Guardiola's men the three points. West Ham played brilliantly, they defended well, looked dangerous in attack and could have easily levelled through Diop right at the death. The Hammers could easily argue they deserved a point.

Zinchenko, Stones, Fernandinho, KDB, F Torres, Aguero and Mahrez come in. Great to see Aguero back. He came on as a sub in midweek.
