Manchester City are aiming to make it three wins out of three heading into the international break when they travel to West Ham.

Here, The Sporting News has a look at all the latest team news for the fixture in London as City bid to maintain their strong start to 2024/25.

Nicklas Fullkrug and Aaron Wan-Bissaka came off the bench with the game at Palace locked at 0-0 and are each pushing for their first starts.

Jean-Clair Todibo might have to make do with being on the bench once more, where Crysencio Summerville will be a game-changing option if required. 

West Ham predicted XI (4-1-4-1, right to left): Areola (GK) — Wan-Bissaka, Mavropanos, Kilman, Emerson — Rodriguez —  Bowen, Soucek, Paqueta, Kudus — Fullkrug.

Phil Foden missed the 4-1 win over Ipswich Town due to illness and Pep Guardiola disclosed the England star is yet to recover

Mateo Kovacic deputised expertly for Rodri during the opening weeks of the season but the Croatia international limped out of the Ipswich game. Spain's Euro 2024 hero returned to full training this week and Kovacic was also back working with his teammates.

"I think he is going to travel but I don't know if he is ready," Guardiola said of Rodri.

Man City predicted XI (3-3-1-3 right to left): Ederson (GK) — Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol — Lewis, Rodri, Silva — De Bruyne — Savinho, Haaland, Doku.

Injured: Foden, Bobb
