Kevin De Bruyne expects to be \u2018alright\u2019 for Manchester City\u2019s Premier League title decider against West Ham despite hobbling off during the crucial victory over Tottenham.<\/p>\n

De Bruyne was forced off midway through the second half of City\u2019s 2-0 win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium but has played down concerns he will miss Sunday\u2019s decider at the Etihad.<\/p>\n

Manchester City have one hand on the Premier League trophy after beating Spurs to move two points clear of Arsenal ahead of the final day of the season.<\/p>\n

The result in north London \u2013 sealed by Erling Haaland\u2019s second-half brace \u2013 means Man City will lift the Premier League for the fourth season in a row if they beat West Ham at the weekend.<\/p>\n

An unexpected slip-up would allow Arsenal to snatch a first Premier League title since 2004, providing they take care of their own job and beat Everton on the final day.<\/p>\n

But it is hard to see West Ham taking points off Manchester City, especially as De Bruyne expects to be fit enough to feature for the defending champions.<\/p>\n

\u2018I think I\u2019m alright,\u2019 he told Sky Sports when asked about the injury he sustained against Tottenham.<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s a bit sore, in that moment it felt a little bit like a knife going down my leg. But it\u2019s an impact injury so it\u2019s not bad, not bad. We will be alright.\u2019<\/p>\n

Man City made an uncharacteristically subdued start to their clash against Spurs but Haaland\u2019s 51st-minute tap-in broke the deadlock.<\/p>\n

Tottenham then missed a string of chances \u2013 the best falling to captain Son Heung-min, who raced through on goal before being denied by City back-up goalkeeper Stefan Ortega \u2013 before Haaland scored an injury-time penalty to put the game to bed.<\/p>\n
