West Ham veteran Pablo Zabaleta says they must go to Manchester City in positive spirits tonight.

The popular, vastly-experienced former City defender returns to the club with whom he won six trophies over the course nine successful years.

He told West Ham's website: “I have said that this will be my final season in English football, so these last 13 games will all be special experiences for me, as I have been here for 12 years and have so many great memories.

“We go to Man City on Wednesday night and it will be my third visit with West Ham since I left them in 2017. Personally, I got great receptions from both sets of fans and I am looking forward to going back there one final time and, if I get a chance to play, I will do my best and then say thank you to the fans after the final whistle.

“I am a West Ham player now, of course, and I am looking for us to win the game, but I will always have a lot of love and respect for that club, as everyone knows."
