Manchester City takes on West Ham United in an English Premier League encounter at London Stadium on Sunday, hoping to clinch its fourth league title in five years. City (28-5-3) can extend their lead over Liverpool to six points entering into the final week. City will meet Aston Villa on the last day of the season, while the Reds will play on Tuesday and Sunday. The Citizens have injury issues on their defence line, but they have a lot of alternatives up top and can outscore anyone. West Ham (16-7-13) is battling for a Europa League position, and a win on Sunday would put them in a tie for sixth place.
It is three points behind Manchester City and, if it can catch up, would win a goal differential tiebreaker. City defeated the Hammers 2-1 at Etihad Stadium in November, and has not lost a league match against them since 2015.
The game will begin at 9 a.m. ET. In the latest West Ham vs. Manchester City odds from Caesars Sportsbook, Man City is a -270 favourite (risk $270 to win $100), while West Ham is a +700 underdog. The over-under for total goals is 3.5, while a draw is worth +410.

West Ham vs. Manchester City betting line: Draw +410, West Ham +700, City -270
Jarrod Bowen has seven goals in the last 14 league games for West Ham.
Man City has scored 24 goals in all competitions in its last six games.
With several starting out or injured, the Citizens have had some defensive issues, but goalkeeper Ederson is one of the finest in the world. He has 20 clean sheets and is first in save percentage in the league, while the Hammers have fewer than four shots on target each game. With 227 attempts on goal, City leads the league (6.3 per game). Pep Guardiola has the vision to use his depth up front to protect the back line, with Rodri likely dropping back to assist. Nathan Ake's return from injury should also assist a lot.
Even if the back line isn't up to the task, City has the ability to outscore the Hammers. Kevin De Bruyne scored four goals in a 5-1 win over Wolves on Wednesday, giving him 15 for the season, and Raheem Sterling has three goals in the last two games for a total of 13. Riyad Mahrez (11 goals), Phil Foden (nine goals), Gabriel Jesus (eight goals), and Bernardo Silva (eight goals) are just a few of City's attacking options. De Bruyne and Jesus are exceptional playmakers, with a combined 15 assists. The Citizens have the most goals (94) and the fewest goals conceded (22)
