L. Sané has scored a goal for Manchester City! Assist by Gabriel Jesus.

Description
73'
City have been calm in their play since the restart with Guardiola knowing the game is pretty much done. However, this has continued to allow West Ham to grow into the game - although it is too little too late.
71'
West Ham's never say die attitude continues as they work hard to try and find a way through City's defence but, as many teams have found out this season, that is not an easy task.
69'
P. Foden enters the game and replaces İ. Gündoğan.
Man City follow with their first chance of the game as Foden replaces Gundogan.
68'
Lucas Pérez enters the game and replaces Felipe Anderson.

67'
Entering the period of the game where changes from Man City are anticpated with half a mind on their Champions League trip to Lyon.
64'
West Ham continue to put Manchester City's defender under pressure by winning two corners in quick succession but, despite good deliveries from Felipe Anderson, they are unable to take advantage.
62'
The noise levels inside the London Stadium have increased in the past few minutes as the home supporters urge their side on. If the Hammers pull one back it will be interesting to see how the tempo changes.
60'
Antonio's chance is the latest evidence that West Ham are doing well in their attacking play but the lack of a recognised top-class forward is clear by the opportunities they have missed.
57'
City, who travel to tackle Lyon in the Champions League this week, have taken their foot off the gas in the second half. This is encouraging West Ham to push forward but the final ball has been lacking.
55'
J. Hernández enters the game and replaces G. Diangana.
West Ham make their second change of the game by bringing Hernandez on to replace Diangana.
54'
Ripples of applause can be heard from the West Ham fans as Carroll emerges from the bench to warm up. If he takes to the field today, it would be his first appearance of the campaign.
52'
Arnautovic and Antonio combine with a one-two to break into space but the offside flag is raised against the latter.
50'
West Ham knock the ball around patiently in midfield before Rice floats a delivery towards Zabaleta but City win possession back.

The fourth official has signalled for two minutes of additional time at the end of the first half.

44'
Felipe Anderson's corner causes problems for Manchester City's defence but Laporte is on hand to clear the ball away just as it looked like West Ham would be able to test Ederson.
43'
Questions will be asked as to whether Pellegrini was too naive with his attacking approach to the game, despite the positive signs the Hammers have shown in the final third, as it has left their defence far too exposed against the deadliest forward line in the Premier League.
41'
Delph concedes a free-kick for a foul on Diangana but the set-piece is drilled into the wall by Arnautovic, who attempted to beat Ederson with an effort from distance.
34'
L. Sané has scored a goal for Manchester City! Assist by R. Sterling.
West Ham's defence has look extremely vulnerable in the wide areas and fingers must be pointed at Masuaku. He gives Sterling far too room and it is an easy pass from there to Sane.
GOOOAL! 3-0! City do get their third! After being denied by a strong challenge moments ago, Sterling returns the favour to Sane for his earlier assist by playing the ball into the Germany winger. He turns superbly to beat both Balbuena and Fabianski, slotting home into a gaping net.
33'
Man City patient in possession before pushing into space and only a superb sliding challenge inside the box keeps Guardiola's side at bay.

Nice work again from West Ham as Antonio slips past Delph but he has moved too quickly and the offside flag is raised.

25'
It has been all about the attacking players so far, with both teams looking dangerous as thy surge forward and the defensive displays not being at all flattering as they look exposed.
23'
Despite the scoreline, it has been a positive start for West Ham. The hosts have created the most chances in the opening period of the game but have not taken their opportunities, whereas City have been clinical.
21'
A fine response from West Ham as Arnautovic combines with Antonio again, with the latter driving a fierce attempt at goal that Ederson pushes away. The Hammers earn a corner but the set-piece comes to nothing.
19'
R. Sterling has scored a goal for Manchester City! Assist by L. Sané.
GOOOOAL! 2-0! Sane easily beats Zabaleta one-one-one and drives a low ball across the face of goal, which Sterling tucks home at the far post with ease.
Fine work from Sane but fingers must be pointed at Zabaleta as he was beaten far too easily.
17'
West Ham are struggling to retain possession but they are showing intent pushing into the final third, quickly charging forward through the likes of Felipe Anderson and Arnautovic. However, it has not quite worked out so far.
15'
An early goal is exactly what Pellegrini would have wanted his West Ham side to avoid as it gives them a huge mountain to climb now.
11'
David Silva has scored a goal for Manchester City!
GOOOAL! 1-0 Manchester City! Guardiola's side move the ball around superbly and Walker combines with Sterling down the right as the pair exploit huge gaps within West Ham's defence.

City are already dictating the tempo in East London, putting West Ham under a consistent amount of pressure. However, Antonio leads a counter for the Hammers and wins a corner.
4'
Pellegrini has named a very attacking West Ham side for this one, which is certainly a brave call. The danger for the hosts is that Manchester City find too much space to play with in midfield.
2'
Arnautovic is fortunate to avoid an early booking for a poor challenge on Silva in midfield, catching the Spain international with his studs showing.

We are underway at the London Stadium, where West Ham get the action started.
Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of the Premier League clash between West Ham and Manchester City, where Manuel Pellegrini faces off against his former employers.
West Ham have struggled to find consistency under Pellegrini so far this season and have lost six of their opening 12 matches. It is therefore a bad time to welcome Manchester City to the London Stadium, as Pep Guardiola's side have dropped just four points from a maximum total of 36 so far this term.
West Ham subs: Adrian, Andy Carroll, Angelo Ogbonna, Javier Hernandez, Aaron Cresswell, Mark Noble, Lucas Perez.
West Ham XI (4-4-1-1): Lukasz Fabianski; Pablo Zabaleta, Fabian Balbuena, Issa Diop, Arthur Masuaku; Grady Diangana, Declan Rice, Pedro Obiang, Michail Antonio; Felipe Anderson; Marko Arnautovic.
Manchester City XI (4-3-3): Ederson; Kyle Walker, Nicolas Otamendi, Aymeric Laporte, Fabian Delph; Ilkay Gundogan, Fernandinho, David Silva; Raheem Sterling, Sergio Aguero, Leroy Sane.
Man City subs: Arijanet Muric, Phil Foden, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Gabriel Jesus, Riyad Mahrez, Vincent Kompany, John Stones.
Both teams are taking to the field ahead of the start of the match.
Pellegrini needs a response from his side immediately after the break if West Ham are to hand themselves slight hope of a turnaround but the reality is that Manchester City may already be home and dry. While it seems the Hammers could score, City will certainly be confident of breaking through the opposing defence once more.
A comfortable lead for Manchester City at the break but a scoreline that perhaps does not tell the full story of the game. While Guardiola's side have been clinical, with Silva, Sterling and Sane on the scoresheet, West Ham have also created a number of opportunities but have been unable to take advantage.
Thanks for joining our coverage today. Until next time, goodbye.
West Ham have plenty of work to do after emerging from a difficult start to the season but they have more favourable fixtures on the horizon, starting with their trip to Newcastle next week. Meanwhile, Manchester City turn their attention towards a Champions League clash with Lyon where victory will seal their spot in the knockout stages before hosting Bournemouth next weekend.
