Manchester City: Ortega, Lewis, Akanji, Ake, Gvardiol, Kovacic, De Bruyne (C), Bernardo, Savinho, Foden, Haaland Subs: Carson, Walker, Grealish, Doku, Gundogan, Nunes, Simpson-Pusey, O'Reilly, McAtee

West Ham: Areola, Coufal, Todibo, Kilman, Wan-Bissaka, Alvarez, Soucek (C), Paqueta, Kudus, Fullkrug, Summerville Subs: Fodderingham, Cresswell, Soler, Mavropanos, Guilherme, Ings, Rodriguez, Irving, Scarles
