Another victory will move Manchester City one win away from setting a new points record in the Premier League. The champions look determined to keep standards high and they scored nine goals in two visits to the London Stadium last season. They will fancy their chances against West Ham, who are still not safe from relegation after last weekend’s thrashing at Arsenal. David Moyes’s team will require a perfect defensive performance to stand any chance of denying City. Jacob Steinberg
