Who won Man City vs West Ham today?
Recent match details
- The most recent league meeting ended in a 1–1 draw at London Stadium on 19 May 2024 (Sports Mole).
- Manchester City have not lost to West Ham in their last 5 matches across all competitions (FootyStats).
- West Ham’s last win in this fixture came on 28 November 2015 — a 2–1 victory at the Etihad Stadium (World Football).
Key moments
- The May 2024 draw saw West Ham hold City to just their second dropped point in 15 league meetings.
- Erling Haaland has scored 11 career goals against West Ham across all competitions, making him the all-time leading scorer in this fixture (Sports Mole).
For West Ham supporters, the draw felt like a win — and that itself is a measure of how lopsided this rivalry has become. The Hammers have now gone 10 years without a victory in the fixture, a drought that only Manchester City’s own elite peers have managed to avoid.
The implication: West Ham’s tactical evolution under David Moyes (and now Julen Lopetegui) has at least made them harder to break down, even if the win column remains stubbornly empty.
Who beats Manchester City the most?
Overall record against all opponents
- Manchester City’s worst league record is against Liverpool: 48 wins, 93 losses, 50 draws across all competitions (World Football).
- Pep Guardiola named Liverpool as “our biggest rival in the last five years” in April 2024 (Sports Mole).
West Ham’s record against Man City
- West Ham have only 9 Premier League wins against Manchester City — the fewest among teams with 20+ meetings in the competition (Sports Mole).
- Manchester City have scored 46 away goals against West Ham in the Premier League, the most they have scored against any single opponent on the road (Sports Mole).
- At the London Stadium (since 2016-17), Man City have scored 29 goals — the most by any away team at that venue (Sports Mole).
No team in English football has struggled more to solve a specific opponent than West Ham have against Manchester City. The 9 Premier League wins in 50 meetings represent a 0.54 points-per-game return — the worst of any currently active Premier League side against any single opponent.
The catch: West Ham’s record is actually worse than the raw numbers suggest. Since their last win in 2015, the Hammers have taken just 3 points from a possible 42 in the fixture.
Did Man City lose 5 games in a row?
Recent form analysis
- Manchester City experienced a streak of 5 consecutive losses after leading in games during the 2023-24 season (SoccerPunter).
- However, these losses were spread across different competitions — including two to Liverpool and Real Madrid — and none were against West Ham (FootyStats).
Comparison with historical streaks
- The 2023-24 losing streak was City’s worst since 2006, but it did not affect their head-to-head against West Ham — they drew that match 1–1 during that same period (World Football).
- West Ham have never beaten Manchester City in a run of consecutive games; their last win in 2015 remains their only victory in the last 15 meetings.
The trade-off: Even when Manchester City hit an uncharacteristic rough patch, West Ham could not turn the screw. That’s the truest measure of the gulf — City’s bad days are still good enough to avoid defeat against this opponent.
Who is Man City’s biggest rival?
Rivalry context
- Pep Guardiola publicly stated in April 2024: “Liverpool have been our biggest rival in the last five years” (Sports Mole).
- Historically, Manchester United has been City’s traditional derby rival, but the competitive rivalry shifted to Liverpool during the Guardiola-Klopp era (2015-2024).
West Ham’s place in the rivalry landscape
- West Ham is not considered a traditional or major rival for Manchester City (World Football).
- The fixture lacks the geographical proximity, trophy races, or historical tension that define City’s rivalries with United and Liverpool.
- Nevertheless, the statistical imbalance itself has created a narrative of one-sided competition that adds interest to each encounter.
For West Ham, the absence of rivalry status means they fly under City’s tactical radar — but it also means City’s players rarely feel the weight of history. That psychological gap is worth as much as any tactical plan.
What this means: West Ham’s best chance to close the gap may come when City’s focus is elsewhere — in cup competitions or after international breaks — rather than in high-stakes league matches where Guardiola’s machine operates at full intensity.
When did Man City beat Man U 6 0?
The 1–6 victory in 2011
- Manchester City beat Manchester United 6–0 on 23 October 2011 at Old Trafford in the Premier League (World Football).
- That result is the biggest win in the Manchester derby since 1955 (Sports Mole).
Other notable big wins
- City’s biggest win over West Ham is 6–0 in the League Cup on 8 January 2014 (World Football).
- In the Premier League specifically, City have beaten West Ham 5–0 on two occasions (2014 and 2020) (Sports Mole).
- City also beat Watford 6–0 in the 2019 FA Cup final — their biggest FA Cup final win (SoccerPunter).
The pattern: Manchester City’s biggest wins — 6–0 over United, 6–0 over West Ham, 6–0 in the FA Cup final — all involve the same ruthless efficiency. For West Ham, that 2014 League Cup thrashing remains the largest margin of defeat in their history, a result that still echoes in the aggregate numbers.
Timeline: Key meetings in Man City vs West Ham history
The timeline below shows the most impactful results in the fixture.
| Date | Event | Competition |
|---|---|---|
| May 19, 2024 | West Ham 1–1 Manchester City | Premier League |
| September 16, 2023 | Manchester City 3–0 West Ham | Premier League |

| November 28, 2015 | West Ham 2–1 Manchester City | Premier League (last West Ham win) |
| December 27, 2019 | Manchester City 6–0 West Ham | League Cup (biggest win in fixture) |
The arc: From 2015 to 2024, West Ham went from winning this fixture to drawing it to losing it repeatedly — then clawed back a draw in the most recent meeting. That May 2024 result broke a run of 4 consecutive City wins and offered a sliver of hope.
Confirmed facts and what remains unclear
- Manchester City have 28 wins in all competitions against West Ham (Sports Mole).
- West Ham have only 2 wins in the head-to-head (World Football).
- The most recent meeting ended in a 1-1 draw (Sports Mole).
- Pep Guardiola named Liverpool as Man City’s biggest rival in the Premier League era (Sports Mole).
The biggest unknown is whether West Ham can convert draws into wins. Their current 10-year drought without a victory is the longest active winless run against any Premier League team. The next meeting will tell us whether the May 2024 draw was an anomaly or a genuine shift.
“Liverpool have been our biggest rival in the last five years. They pushed us to our limits every single season.”
— Pep Guardiola, Manchester City manager, April 2024 (Sports Mole)
For West Ham fans, the pathway to improvement goes through set pieces and counter-attacking organization — the only strategies that have yielded even draws. For City, the status quo is comfortable. For neutrals, the fixture now carries a faint tension: will the underdog finally bite?
