Two unbeaten Premier League teams currently sitting inside the top four lock horns at the London Stadium on Saturday afternoon as West Ham United play host to reigning champions Manchester City.

While the Hammers are seeking to win a fourth successive league match for the first time in nearly two years, the Citizens are looking to preserve their 100% start in the top flight and maintain their position at the top of the table.

An opening-weekend draw with Bournemouth has been followed by wins over Chelsea, Brighton & Hove Albion and Luton Town, beating the latter 2-1 away from home before the international break courtesy of goals from Jarrod Bowen and new captain Kurt Zouma.

Not since the 1999-2000 campaign under Harry Redknapp have the Hammers made a better start to a Premier League season, and current boss David Moyes has been recognised for his efforts by being nominated for August's Manager of the Month award along with this weekend's opposite number Pep Guardiola.

Preserving their unbeaten record is the aim for West Ham, but that will certainly be put to the test versus a Man City side whom they have suffered 12 defeats against in their last 15 meetings, with the other three matches all ending as draws – only against Manchester United have the Hammers endured a longer winless run against an opponent in the division's history.
