Quotes

"Any team, even if you put Man City here, I think they will be put under constant bombardment like they did tonight. They are really good at what they do, but thankfully we held strong. It was always a bit nervy with a one-goal lead.
"But big Kurt [Zouma] made it two, then it got a bit nervy at the end, but we managed to hold on and get a massive three points before the international break.”

City thrashed West Ham 3-0 in their last meeting in the league which was on 3 May 2023 at the Etihad Stadium.
