Manchester City will attempt to extend their all-time top-flight winning run when they travel to the London Stadium for Saturday's Premier League meeting with West Ham United.

Manchester City will attempt to extend their historic winning run in Saturday's Premier League clash with West Ham United.

The Citizens have made a solid start to their Premier League defence, having kicked off the campaign with consecutive victories.

Pep Guardiola's side recorded a 2-0 away win over Chelsea in their league opener, before they came from behind to sweep past newly-promoted Ipswich Town last weekend.

Erling Haaland netted a hat-trick alongside a Kevin De Bruyne effort to fire the Citizens to a commanding 4-1 win over the Tractor Boys.

As a result of their promising start, Man City are sitting top of the table and are one of four teams to take maximum points from their first two matches.

Man City out to extend winning run

The Citizens are now preparing for Saturday's trip to the London Stadium, where they will attempt to extend their historic winning run.

City have recorded 11 successive league victories, with each win coming by more than a one-goal margin.

As a result, Man City have recorded more consecutive victories by two goals or more than any other side in English top-flight history.

Man City are also enjoying their longest unbeaten run from the start of a calendar year, having avoided defeat in each of their 21 league games in 2024.

In fact, they have not tasted defeat in the top flight since suffering a 1-0 away defeat to Aston Villa in December 2023.

Haaland targeting more goals

Haaland has made an impressive start to the season, having scored four goals in Man City's opening two matches.

The Norway international will fancy his chances of adding to his tally this weekend after previously enjoying success against teams managed by Julen Lopetegui.

Haaland has racked up nine goals in his four games against teams coached by Lopetegui (Sevilla and Wolverhampton Wanderers).

The 24-year-old has also scored in three of his four appearances against West Ham, although he did draw a blank in the previous meeting between the two sides in May.
