Manchester City host West Ham as Saturday’s action draws to a close, with the Irons endeavouring to find and exploit a chink in the Sky Blues’ otherwise impregnable armour. Slaven Biliic’s men have matched the table toppers on the goal front this term (11) but face their tallest task yet against the league’s stingiest defence.

Man City rank second – behind Arsenal – for attempts (93) and shots inside the box (51) this term but boast a far superior shot conversion rate (11.8% compared to 4.5%). Their lethality up front has been complemented by an organised defensive unit, as evidenced by the fact they’ve conceded just one big chance and 22 shots inside the box across their quintet of match-ups.

Meanwhile, the Hammers have converted nearly a fifth (19.3%) of their chances, making them the league’s most clinical finishers. Man City, though, will be emboldened in the knowledge that the Hammers place joint-fourth for big chances conceded (nine) and seventh for shots inside the box (42) conceded.

    Worth a 4pt hit for Barkely & Kompany -> KDB & Sagna or Mangala? De Bruyne looks like he's about to light up the league.

    Hey does anyone know if the weekly and monthly prizes on Sky Fantasy are for the top *total* points at the end of the week/month. Or the amount you earned in that particular week or month? So you could be 1000th but still win a prize as you received 100 points for that week.
