The Hammers sit four points above the relegation drop zone but have also secured a place in the Europa Conference League semi-finals.
And the City boss says they have the ‘weapons’ to cause us problems having come back from two goals down to rescue a point against Arsenal last month.
The Gunners can leapfrog City back to the top of the Premier League with a victory over Chelsea tonight but Guardiola’s focus is solely on the clash with West Ham.
Alvarez | We’re where we want to be
“I don’t control the results of the other ones, I’m too busy working on what we have to do tomorrow against West Ham,” he said in his pre-match news conference.
“West Ham maybe didn’t do in the Premier League the season they expected like they have for the past two seasons, but [David] Moyes has been exceptional and that doesn’t mean the quality isn’t there.
“I will review their games against Liverpool and Arsenal a little bit and I will review the first game of the Premier League [season].
“The quality is there. At set-pieces they are maybe one of the best, scored three goals against Crystal Palace [in their last match] they attack the channels with [Michail ] Antonio and [Jarrod] Bowen, [Declan] Rice is an exceptional player.
“The weapons are there, they are a good team, they didn’t do a good season like they expect but the weapons are there. I don’t have doubts that in one game anything can happen that’s why we have to be absolutely ready.”
