The Hammers followed 4-0 and 3-0 wins over Wolves and Leicester City respectively with a thrilling fightback away to Tottenham Hotspur this past weekend. Trailing 3-0 after just 16 minutes, Spurs looked well on their way to all three points but West Ham launched a late comeback and earned a point in a 3-3 draw thanks to stoppage-time equaliser from Manuel Lanzini.
"The boys are at it. I see it every day in training, and they're improving all the time," West Ham United manager David Moyes said in the aftermath.
"We felt really good before we went into the opening day of the season. We didn't play well in that opening game, but we do have big belief, we really have.

"We think we've improved, we think the new players who have come in have made a difference.
"Overall, I can only praise them. It was a really proud moment to manage West Ham tonight, because 3-0 down today with ten minutes to go and come back shows that the players are at it and committed."
City returned to winning ways in the league with a 1-0 victory over Arsenal last time out. Raheem Sterling's solitary strike earned the Cityzens all three points at Etihad Stadium as they continue their climb up the log standings.

Pep Guardiola's men won the corresponding fixture last season 5-0 with Sterling bagging a hat-trick in the capital. In fact, City are on a nine-game winning run against West Ham in the Premier League during which period they have scored at least four goals on five occasions.
