Preview: Manchester City vs. West Ham United

Sports Mole previews the match between Manchester City and West Ham United in the Premier League.

Manchester City require just one point against West Ham United to almost guarantee their second Premier League title in three years.

Manuel Pellegrini's side start the day two points clear of Liverpool, and with a superior goal difference, the Citizens realistically need just a draw to be crowned champions ahead of the Merseyside club.

Striker Sergio Aguero could return to the starting lineup after Pellegrini revealed that the Argentine forward had recovered from a minor groin problem.

West Ham go into the game at the Etihad Stadium safe from relegation but failure to earn any points in Manchester could see the Hammers drop as low as 16th position.

Boss Sam Allardyce, who is reported to be under pressure at Upton Park, has a fully-fit squad apart from striker Marco Borriello, who is nursing a calf injury.

Sports Mole says: 5-1
