Intro
Both West Ham and Bournemouth secured wins in round two of the Premier League but do the hosts have enough to stop Pep Guardiola's side from making it three wins on the bounce?
Hammers recovering well
After a disappointing opening day defeat against Aston Villa, West Ham have bounced back with consecutive victories over Crystal Palace and Bournemouth. The Hammers were excellent in the second half at Selhurst Park, where Tomas Soucek and Jarrod Bowen helped secure the three points.
It was that man Bowen once again who scored a late winner in the Carabao Cup midweek. Admittedly, he might not have known too much about it, but he continues to pop up in the right areas - he's easily the Hammers main threat.
City looking formidable
Man City allowed Ipswich Town to dream for all of five minutes last weekend before a flurry of goals followed. A comfortable 4-1 display backed up Pep Guardiola's away win at Chelsea on the opening day of the season. You can count on one hand how many teams are capable of troubling City.
Erling Haaland is already looking for a new spot for his next golden boot having scored four goals in his first two matches. The Norwegian's hattrick last week will have West Ham fans rather worried this Sunday.
History suggests to stick with Guardiola
You have to go all the way back to 2015 the last time West Ham managed to beat Man City in the Premier League. Since, the Hammers have failed to land a blow in the 21 attempts that have followed (minus a penalty shootout victory in the Carabao Cup in 2021).
Last season, the hosts believed for 45 minutes they could end that unwanted streak after leading at half-time, but in true Man City fashion, three second half goals from Jeremy Doku, Bernando Silva and of course, Haaland, saw them secure the three points.
The visitors are still without their star midfielder Rodri who is sidelined with a leg injury, but so far the champions have shown they can cope just fine with such a star studded squad at Guardiola's disposal.

West Ham fans have taken to Julen Lopetegui despite their opening day defeat. The former Real Madrid manager has preferred a 4-5-1 system that allows his creative players more freedom behind the striker.
When in transition, the likes of Bowen, Mohammed Kudus and Lucas Paqueta (once targeted by Man City) have the quality to hurt most Premier League defences. If West Ham can ride the inevitable storm, Lopetegui will be hoping his talented trio can hurt Man City's backline on the counter.

Our Betting Tip for Today
With Man City picking up where they left off last campaign, anything but an away victory will be a shock on Sunday afternoon. However, priced at odds-on, we're here to point you in the direction of a better looking price worth backing.
City's quality to shine through
With Man City winning four of the last five head-to-heads against West Ham, and after their blistering start to the campaign, it's no surprise to see Guardiola's side as the favourites.
However, there has been a consistent trend when these two sides have met: goals. Four of the five previous meetings have produced over 2.5 goals, with three of those seeing over 3.5 goals land.
West Ham fans, like many others, will be sick of the sight of Haaland, who has scored in three of his four matches against the London side. He'll be looking to score for the third consecutive visit to the London Stadium, and there's every reason to believe he will.
With that in mind, we're suggesting to back Man City to win, over 2.5 match goals and Haaland to find the back of the net anytime at 7/5 with bet365.
