Manchester City has been dealt an injury blow ahead of their game against West Ham, and it could have an impact on Premier League title battle. Pep Guardiola’s side has been in blistering form recently, reducing Arsenal’s lead to just two points.
City have won their last six games across all competitions, including a very straightforward Carabao Cup win over Brentford on Wednesday night. Despite a shaky start, City’s record has established them as the clear main contenders to Arsenal in the title fight. Reported By london World.
Their next test is at home against West Ham, who have grown more difficult to overcome under Nuno Espirito Santo, but they did lose to Aston Villa last time out, dropping three points below safety as Christmas approaches.

After West Ham match, City will face Nottingham Forest on December 27, Sunderland on New Year’s Day, and Chelsea on January 4.
Jeremy Doku, who has been sidelined for at least two weeks due to an injury, is one player who is fighting to be fit for those games. Guardiola said before the Brentford game that Jeremy will be sidelined for two or three weeks. Perhaps a new year in Sunderland?”
Doku has made 25 appearances for City this season, scoring five goals and assisting on another five. He is an important player for Guardiola’s squad. It now appears like Savinho will replace Doku, with Guardiola stating of the Brazilian: “He lost one or two balls and in two seconds he was a full-back.”
