On Sunday, May 19th, the Etihad Stadium in Manchester will host the 38th round of the English Premier League. All eyes are on the title race with Arsenal, but will the Hammers’ Ghanaian midfielder Mohammed Kudus make his mark against Man City and help Arsenal?
Manchester City
Manchester City is on track for their fourth consecutive title and is finishing the season strongly with numerous victories. Pep Guardiola’s team, having failed to win the Champions League for the second consecutive time, is now fully focused on the Premier League and the FA Cup. The Citizens have not lost a home game this season.
West Ham United
West Ham, after defeating Luton 3-1, is confidently sitting mid-table. David Moyes’ team, despite strong competition, will finish the season in the top ten once again, which is a positive achievement for the club and the coach. The match at the Etihad will be a serious test for West Ham, not only due to the opponent’s status but also because the Hammers have struggled away from home, with seven losses in nine away games.
