Game Preview

Pep Guardiola’s Man City have quietly gone under the radar in the EPL title race this season, but they could move to the summit with a home win over West Ham on Saturday. City have been dominant in recent weeks, winning each of their last four in the league. Erling Haaland has been one of the team’s starring players, netting his 17th goal of the campaign in last weekend’s 3-0 win over Crystal Palace.

City have been incredibly hard to beat at the Etihad Stadium this season, winning seven of their eight fixtures. Meanwhile, they have averaged a staggering 2.75 goals per game, and have kept clean sheets in 50% of their fixtures.

West Ham continue to endure a miserable campaign, and they are rooted in the bottom three spots in the Premier League standings. The Hammers have failed to win in their last five EPL fixtures, and they suffered a second defeat over that period against Aston Villa last Sunday.

West Ham have scored just 19 goals this season, and their defensive record also ranks among the worst in the competition. However, the majority of their points have been picked up on the road this season, winning once and playing out four draws in their eight fixtures.

Man City vs. West Ham Picks

West Ham is one of the biggest priced selections this weekend, and their long winless record against Man City is unlikely to come to an end. A home success to reignite the title race is expected.
