Manchester City - Form Analysis: Found new motivation
The "Citizens", after losing to Real Madrid in the Champions League quarterfinals via penalties, lost their chance for a repeat treble. They nearly faltered in the cup as well, but managed to win 1-0 against Chelsea in the cup semifinal. However, Pep managed to stabilize the team's performance, and they have been consistently winning against all Premier League opponents. Tottenham had a chance to disrupt this streak, but Son missed a crucial opportunity at the end, leaving Guardiola’s team with a 1-0 victory.
West Ham - Form Analysis: Struggled in spring
The "Hammers" were eliminated from the Europa League, losing to Bayer in the quarterfinals. In the Premier League, they have had minimal victories since the start of 2024. Spring was particularly tough, with only one win in nine matches, and they managed just one point in April, a draw with Liverpool, amid three defeats. They only secured a win against a weak Luton side at home, 3-1. This match will be David Moyes' last in charge, as a new manager is set to take over in the summer.
