Manchester City v West Ham: match preview

Pep Guardiola says Manchester City can lose when playing precisely the same way that has swept them to 19 consecutive victories. The point is taken but so good is his side that their average is a class at least above most opponents. Here, then is David Moyes’ challenge: to somehow convince his West Ham players they can do what no-one has since West Brom in mid-December – stop the winning machine. Jamie Jackson
