West Ham United play host to Manchester City on Saturday evening (17:30) for their last-ever Premier League encounter at Upton Park, with the Hammers eager to replicate their magnificent 2-1 away win against the Citizens back in September.

Slaven Bilic’s side, who slumped to a disappointing 2-1 defeat at Newcastle United last weekend, have reaped the benefits from summer signing Dimitri Payet’s return from injury of late, with the France midfielder scoring one and setting up another goal in their recent 3-1 victory at AFC Bournemouth.

Meanwhile Manuel Pellegrini’s visitors; who hammered Crystal Palace 4-0 at the Etihad Stadium last Saturday, boast a fellow contender for the Premier League’s best buy this season in Kevin De Bruyne, with the Belgium international scoring 11 and assisting 13 goals in all competitions since arriving from Wolfsburg.

With both influential midfielders set to go head-to-head tonight in the centre of the park, here is how Payet and De Bruyne match up so far this season…
