West Ham 0 Man City 0: It's all West Ham so far, Mark Noble sending a great ball forward for Antonio, but his first touch is poor and takes him too far wide on the right in the area and the chance comes to nothing. He's been lively so far.
West Ham 0 Man City 0: Free kick to Man City in a dangerous area outside the West Ham area, but Kolarov hits it off the wall and it goes out harmlessly for a corner which the visitors can't make much of. Sane though then gets the ball and does well down the left, cutting it back across the face of goal, but no player can find the final touch and West Ham just about scramble it clear.
GOAL! West Ham 0 Man City 1 – Kevin De BruyneWell, well, well. City have been second best so far, but Cresswell gives the ball away on the attack and the visitors pounce. De Bruyne picks the ball up in his own half, runs with it slips it to Jesus who then plays it back to the Belgian who coolly slots it into the right hand corner of the net with his side foot.
West Ham 0 Man City 1: Free kick to City now in a dangerous area, Sterling brought down on the edge of the area.
West Ham 0 Man City 1: David Silva hoofs it over the bar...
GOAL! West Ham 0 Man City 2 - David SilvaUh oh, this is looking ominous for West Ham. Great work from Leroy Sane down the right hand side, nutmegging Byram and surging forward, he squares it across goal and it bobbles to David Silva who prods it home at the back post from about 5 yards out. Too easy.
GOAL! Stoke 1 Everton 0 – Peter CrouchPeter Crouch has brought the robot out of retirement, things are looking up for 2017. He has his 100th Premier League goal, tapping in from an Arnautovic square ball.
2 – Kevin De Bruyne has scored in back to back Premier League games after a run of 15 apps without a goal. Buses.

West Ham 0 Man City 2: Well West Ham have managed to go more than two minutes without conceding a goal so that has to be a positive. They haven't managed much else though.
