West Ham Utd. face a trip to Manchester City at City of Manchester Stadium on Sunday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Hammers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in January 2008, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a Premier League match.
