ETIHAD STADIUM, MANCHESTER – Manchester City must beat West Ham on the final day of the Premier League season to secure a historic fourth consecutive title.
No team in the history of English football, from the great Liverpool of the 1970s and 1980s to Sir Alex Ferguson’s era-defining Manchester United, has won four championships in a row.
Tuesday’s nervy 2-0 win at Tottenham put Pep Guardiola’s men within striking distance. They were two points ahead of Arsenal, who host Everton at the Emirates Stadium, and the Gunners have a superior goal difference.
That means if Pep Guardiola’s men make a mistake during the final day’s penalty shoot-out and Arsenal win, glory will go to north London.

Man City vs West Ham live updates, highlights and commentary
minute 23: Erling Haaland, what are you doing? It should have been 3-0, but the best forward in the league sent a scissors from about three meters.
minute 18:!!!!!!!! Phil Foden!!!!!!
Now it’s party time at the Etihad. The city walks down the left channel and Foden returns home. Bread and butter for a player in this form. “Are you watching, Arsenal?!” the song echoes. Probably not anymore, no.
minute 17: De Bruyne gets an advantageous position on the right wing. He picks out Rodri, who timed his run into the box beautifully, but the Spanish star pushes into the side netting.
minute 16: Doku running towards the West Ham defense with bad intentions. He lets go and Areola falls. West Ham deal with the corner, but City keep it alive and here’s Doku again. This time on the right, cutting and forcing Areola to stop at his near post. The Belgian winger definitely seems to be in the mood.
minute 13: West Ham have entrenched themselves quite well here to control City’s momentum. Now Emerson launches an attack through the middle. Coufal joins the attack and Walker clears a cross intended for Antonio.
7th minute: De Bruyne Nutmeg Ward-Prowse. Behave. Doku and Gvardiol continue the attack before KDB takes flight and Areola pulls him to safety.
6th minute: Doku slides towards the baseline and Zouma starts his cutback. You feel West Ham will have to fight hard to stay afloat during this initial period.
2nd minute: !!!!!!!! Phil Foden!!!!!!
Wow, that will do it! City spent the first minute throwing the ball into West Ham’s half. Paqueta attacks Gvardiol and takes the ball away from him, but only as far as Walker. He finds Bernardo, who finds Foden. The England star cuts inside and buries what is now a trademark strike into the top corner from 25 yards.
Start: 1st half
The players kneel before kick-off and De Bruyne sets us off.
3 minutes before start: Here come the teams, in a raucous, sun-drenched Etihad Stadium. Will City get the job done with something to spare or are we set for more epic nonsense on the final day?

15 minutes before start: Two years ago on this ground, with City locked in a fight to the death for the title with Liverpool, an Aston Villa team led by Steven Gerrard almost sent the title to Anfield. Philippe Coutinho put Villa 2-0 up before an incredible Ilkay Gundogan-inspired comeback. Any candidates for that type of activity today? Kostas Mavropanos, former Arsenal defender, maybe this is your moment…
35 minutes before start: Guardiola has been speaking to Sky Sports, explaining why he chose Doku over Kovacic. The Croatian midfielder had started five of City’s last six Premier League games and has been something of an unsung hero in the run-up.
It was a really very difficult decision. Kova has been helping us with the rhythm to play. But I thought it would be a West Ham defensive position. And his (Doku’s) ability in smaller spaces and one-on-one, that was absolutely the reason.
55 minutes before start: Indeed, Bowen misses it and David Moyes takes the opportunity to bring in Aaron Creswell and switch to a back five. It’s safe to say that both teams have prepared their position.

1 hour before start: The teams are inside. Doku is indeed a starter for City. He and Ortega are the only changes compared to the team that started at Tottenham, with Mateo Kovacic falling to the bench.
In the blue corner! ?

1 hour 10 minutes before start: Team news will be with us shortly. There are rumors of illness in the West Ham camp, so it will be interesting to see how they recover. Jeremy Doku has been chosen to start for City after some electrifying cameos off the bench. If that’s the case, then it suggests that Pep Guardiola wants to start fast and finish this early. Doku scored his first goal for City when he dazzled against the Hammers in the first leg in September.
1 hour 40 minutes before start: In his press conference on Friday, Guardiola highlighted the symmetry of outgoing West Ham manager David Moyes being his opponent in his first Premier League match when the Scot was in charge of Sunderland. In Guardiola’s second home game, West Ham visited the Etihad and were defeated 3-1. In 18 games against the Hammers, Guardiola has yet to taste defeat. There have been 14 wins in 17 games in total, although after one of those draws, West Ham knocked City out of the Carabao Cup on penalties. Still, they feel like pretty useful opponents this afternoon.
2 hours before start: And so, for the fifth time in the Premier League era and sixth in its history, City goes into the final day of the season with a chance to win and be crowned champion. They won each of the previous five and, as on those occasions, their destiny remains in their hands. Win and the job is done. Simple.
However, in 2012 against Queens Park Rangers and 2022 against Aston Villa, they put their fans in trouble on this ground. In 2019, they briefly fell behind against Brighton at the Amex Stadium. The last time City won the league on the final day and didn’t have to overcome a deficit? Against West Ham at home in 2014.
CITY. ☀️?
