The London Stadium has been a happy ground for Manchester City in recent years but this time the pressure is magnified as they aim to get over the line in the title race – potentially with a makeshift defence after a run of injuries. West Ham also head into the match on the back of a European semi-final disappointment of their own so they will be looking for a high at their last home game of the season.
Make no mistake: when you get this close to a title it’s ALL about the mind. But if either team needs any more inspiration they can think back to all the peak performances at the very same stadium 10 years ago at the 2012 Olympics – as described by the likes of Jessica Ennis-Hill and Usain Bolt in the pages of In The Zone: How Champions Think and Win Big.
You can watch the final cut today on BT Sport at 6pm or Sky Sports at 7pm.
