“Put on a good show” – David Moyes reveals Manchester City game plan and responds to Declan Rice question

West Ham United boss David Moyes has opened up on his game plan for the trip to face Manchester City on the final day of the Premier League season.

Pep Guardiola and his players are one win away from making yet more history as a club, with three points against West Ham securing their status as the first and only side to win the Premier League title in four consecutive seasons.

Having their own destiny firmly in their own hands follows a largely faultless record in the Premier League since mid-December, with Manchester City holding a lengthy unbeaten record to overtake and rule out Liverpool as one title contender.

Arsenal remain the only other club holding a chance of winning the top-flight this season, but Mikel Arteta’s side would be forced to win against Everton on Sunday afternoon, and hope that West Ham can take points from the Etihad Stadium.

Speaking during his pre-match press conference ahead of the visit to Manchester City on Sunday afternoon, West Ham boss David Moyes has opened up on his plans for arguably the most high-profile contest of the season.

Arsenal fans will be hoping for a major favour from West Ham this weekend, however Moyes has insisted that the club’s connection to former captain and now Gunners midfielder Declan Rice will have no effect on their plans.

“Everyone here (at West Ham) loves Declan (Rice), but we’re playing for ourselves on Sunday, and I hope it works out,” Moyes admitted.
