Manchester City can move level on points with Manchester United in the WSL's final Champions League spot with victory over West Ham on Saturday, with their rivals not playing until Sunday.

City are in a rich vein of form, having put their early season injury woes far behind them to win their last seven games in all competitions.

However, they face a West Ham side who have proved to be a stubborn test this season, having come out on top when the two sides met in October, and actually recently doing City a favour by taking points off United in that Champions League race.

West Ham vs Man City score prediction

Manchester City have really found their groove after their injury plagued opening to the season and currently look unstoppable. Gareth Taylor's side haven't conceded in the WSL since 6 February and have lost just one of their last 17 games in all competitions.

Olli Harder has instilled a real steeliness in West Ham this season, and the Hammers would move up to sixth with a win. But with the form that City find themselves in, a victory for the visitors looks the most likely outcome.

Prediction: West Ham 0-3 Man City
