How to watch West Ham vs. Manchester City in the Premier League: With and without cable
West Ham United lost their first Premier League game of the season to Aston Villa. However, they have since beaten Crystal Palace in the league and Bournemouth in the EFL Cup.
The Hammers face the Premier League champions this weekend. Pep Guardiola's side have enjoyed a perfect start to the season by defeating Chelsea 2-0 and hammering Ipswich 4-1 — with Erling Haaland scoring a hat-trick.
Haaland has scored 67 goals in 68 Premier League games for City. If West Ham are to have any chance on Saturday, they will need to figure out how to stop Haaland.
