Manchester City team news: Injury, suspension list vs. West Ham United

Manchester City will kick off their Premier League title defence with a trip to London Stadium to take on West Ham United on Sunday afternoon.

The Citizens managed to secure the title in spectacular fashion on the final weekend of last season, coming from two goals behind against Aston Villa to win 3-2.

Pep Guardiola's side will enter this match off the back of a disappointing result, though, having suffered a 3-1 defeat to rivals Liverpool in the Community Shield last weekend.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the team's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest with West Ham, who will again be looking to push for the top four this term.
