Manchester City team news: Injury, suspension list vs. West Ham United

Sports Mole looks at the latest injury and suspension news for Manchester City ahead of Wednesday's Premier League encounter with West Ham United.

Here, Sports Mole looks at Man City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their encounter with Manuel Pellegrini's side.
