City went into the game off the back of an excellent run of form, winning our last six across all competitions.
That had left us second in the Premier League, just points behind leaders Arsenal.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s Hammers were at the other end of the table, sitting 18th with just 13 points from their 16 outings.
Ahead of the match, we were unbeaten in our last 19 Premier League games against West Ham – winning 16, drawing three - since a 2-1 home defeat in September 2015.
In total in the Premier League era, City had won 31 of the 48 games between the sides scoring 93 times and conceding just 44.
