West Ham vs Man City LIVE: Premier League latest updates as Erling Haaland scores again
Follow all the action from London Stadium
West Ham United play host to Manchester City in Saturday’s late kick off with the reigning champions eyeing up top spot in the Premier League table. Earlier today, Arsenal and Brighton played out a 1-1 draw following Declan Rice’s sending off and both teams, who had not dropped points in the league this season had to settle for one point each.
The Hammers are hoping to extend their winning run having defeated Crystal Palace 2-0 in their last league outing and Bournemouth 1-0 in the Carabao Cup. They have strengthened during the summer transfer window and new manager Julen Lopetegui will be keen to upset City today.
Pep Guardiola’s men look dangerous though and none more so than Erling Haaland. The Norwegian bagged a hat-trick in a 4-1 mauling of Ipswich and three points in London this evening will keep them at the top of the table.

Ruben Dias comes close to making amends for his own-goal, as he meets De Bruyne's latest high-quality cross into the box with an outstreched boot. However, he can't control his back-post attempt, which flies wide.

Not only would one more goal help Manchester City put this game to bed, but it would also extend their record run of Premier League wins by two or more goals to 11 games.

SAVE! After good work by Grealish on the left side of the box, his cutback picks out Bernardo Silva in the centre. Again, the latter is unable to take advantage of an excellent situation, though, placing his shot straight at replacement goalkeeper Fabianski!

Akanji intervenes with a last-gasp intervention just as Antonio is about to strike from close range, so West Ham have their very first corner-kick of the match. After Ederson punches the cross clear, Rodriguez slams an optimistic long-range attempt well wide.

A raking cross from the right by Bowen is just too firm for Kudus to collect near the back post, as the hosts' resurgence continues. The West Ham fans are alive with the possibility of turning this game around now.
