EPL: West Ham - Manchester City Match Betting Preview



League leaders Manchester City will look to continue their dominance in the Premier League as they go away to a West Ham club who City have dominated in recent memory. City are currently top of the league and they’ve been pretty much flawless in recent weeks winning games week in week out and scoring goals for fun, meanwhile the Hammers have been up and down but on their day they can be a tough nut to beat so City have to be on it tonight. City as tipped as HUGE favourites however and it’s pretty safe to say everyone expects them to win here.

Team News


West Ham: The Hammers have got quite a long injury list as they are without Fredericks, Lanzini, Yarmolenko, Reid and Carlos Sanchez. However there is a possibility that Andy Carroll and Jack Wilshere could be in contention to at least come off the bench after their lengthy injuries.


Manchester City: City are still of course out without de Bruyne and Bravo. Also Mendy is ruled out while one of the star men of the season Bernardo Silva picked up a knock and is unlikely to play. Expect Delph to fill in for Mendy and Gundogam come in for Bernardo. Elsewhere there’s no fresh team News so we can expect a full strength side out there given that City don’t have any worries about upcoming UCL games as they’re already qualified there meaning they can now fully focus on the league.


Betting Tips and Predictions


It’s pretty clear here who should be able to win and that’s Man City. City have been dominant playing at West Ham’s new ground and given the form of these clubs these season it’d be hard to expect anything to change. West Ham’s poor defending combined with Manchester City’s attack should give us a quote a dominant win for the league leaders. Man City -1.5 or even -2 handicap are the bets that we expect to come through. Furthermore City to win and keep a clean sheet is also worth the look given their solid defensive record and the fact that West Ham have been kept goalless 4 times in 6 games against big 6 this season. We’re definitely anticipating a comfortable 0-2/0-3 win for Manchester City.
