match preview : Manchester City v West Ham United

theguardian 

With Manchester City requiring only a draw to ensure a second title in three seasons whatever Liverpool do against Newcastle United at Anfield this visit of West Ham United has the feel of a coronation for Manuel Pellegrini's side. For the first time this campaign the Chilean has everyone fit so expect his first-choice team to be assembled at the Etihad and, if Yaya Touré, David Silva, Sergio Agüero and company score early, this could turn into a party that will still be going on Monday morning.
