Man city vs West ham preview & prediction

Match preview

The Premier League resumes play this week with a new slate of games, beginning on Wednesday when West Ham United squares off against Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City squad at the Etihad Stadium.

West Ham United has not performed well thus far this season, as seen by their 15th-place status in the Premier League standings. After losing 4-3 to Crystal Palace in their previous match, the Hammers will need to put in a lot of effort to turn things around this week.

On the other hand, Manchester City, who currently sit atop the league standings, has been outstanding lately. The home team, which defeated Fulham 2-1 over the weekend, will be optimistic going into this game.

Man city vs West ham prediction

Manchester City is still the favourite to win the Premier League since they have a strong team at their disposal. Erling Haaland has had a historically successful season so far, and he will try to increase his goal total in this game.

While West Ham United can be formidable on occasion, they have a dismal track record when playing at the Etihad Stadium. On paper, Manchester City appears to be the superior team and ought to prevail in this match.
