Defending champions Manchester City aim for their third consecutive victory in the English Premier League as they face West Ham at the London Stadium on Saturday. City has maintained their strong performance from last season, recording easy wins against Chelsea and newly promoted Ipswich, and they are eager to extend their streak before the international break.
West Ham enters this challenging match following a successful week. Under manager Julen Lopetegui, the Hammers secured their first EPL win against Crystal Palace last weekend, followed by a hard-fought victory over Bournemouth in the EFL Cup midweek.
The match is scheduled for Saturday, August 31, at 5:30 p.m. BST local time, or 12:30 p.m. ET in the U.S. and Canada, and 2:30 a.m. AEST early Sunday morning in Australia.
To watch the match live, fans in the U.S. can tune in on NBC or stream it on Peacock, requiring a Peacock Premium or Premium Plus account for access.
