Comments:

League position: 4th Manchester City had now won their last seven home games against West Ham United in all competitions. Despite stuttering away form, City had won their last four Premier League home games; scoring a total of 12 goals with none in reply. James Collins' own goal was the 100th goal in Premier League games involving Manchester City in 2014-15 (66 for and 34 against). Sergio Aguero scored his 20th Premier League goal of the season although this game's was his first from open play at the Etihad Stadium since 2 November 2014 against Manchester United. His only subsequent league goal on home soil was a penalty versus Newcastle United on 21 February.

Comments:

League position: 10th West Ham United had now won just one of their last 11 Premier League matches (drawn four and lost six). Having won their meeting at Upton Park in October, the Hammers were seeking their first league double against City since the 1962-63 season.
