Preview: Man City Vs West Ham
The reigning champions are finally back to winning ways.
Pep Guardiola will be relieved after his side pulled a crucial win against Leicester City in the last match. They are now set to take on West Ham United who were outclassed in their last match against Arsenal. The clash will be the first match of 2025 for them at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
After their abysmal form lately, Manchester City finally returned to winning ways with a comfortable 2-0 win over Leicester City. With this win, Pep Guardiola’s side moved to sixth in the Premier League table. This season, they have accumulated 31 points from 19 matches which is one of the worst records in history. However, they can now look to turn their season around securing consecutive victories going forward.
West Ham United on the other hand were outclassed by Arsenal in the last match in their 5-0 defeat. Currently languishing at 13th in the overall standings, Julen Lopetegui’s side will be hoping to start their 2025 campaign with a victory here. The last five matches have been good for Hammers as they picked up two wins and two draws. However, they will have to be at their brilliant best here to get back with any points in this tie.

About Premier League:
History
The Premier League is a private company wholly owned by its 20 Member Clubs who make up the League at any one time.
Each individual club is independent, working within the rules of football, as defined by the Premier League, The FA, UEFA and FIFA, as well as being subject to English and European law.
Each of the 20 clubs are a Shareholder in the Premier League. Consultation is at the heart of the Premier League and Shareholder meetings are the ultimate decision-making forum for Premier League policy and are held at regular intervals during the course of the season.
The Premier League AGM takes place at the close of each season, at which time the relegated clubs transfer their shares to the clubs promoted into the Premier League from the Football League Championship.
Clubs have the opportunity to propose new rules or amendments at the Shareholder meeting. Each Member Club is entitled to one vote and all rule changes and major commercial contracts require the support of at least a two-thirds vote, or 14 clubs, to be agreed.
The Premier League Rule Book, contained within the Handbook (Download: Premier League Handbook; PDF 18.2MB), serves as a contract between the League, the Member Clubs and one another, defining the structure and running of the competition.
Any serious breach of the Rule Book results in an independent three-person tribunal sitting to hear the case, ascertain guilt and set the punishment, which can range from fines to points deductions and, in extreme cases, expulsion from the competition (this has never happened in the history of the Premier League).
At the Premier League's AGM in June 2022, an Owners' Charter was agreed by Clubs. The Owners and Directors of the Member Clubs are custodians of those organizations and will uphold the spirit of the Charter's commitments.
