West Ham United and Manchester City meet on Saturday at 15:00 in London in a match of the 13th Premier League. The guests start out as Certified favorites and come with a nearly complete batch at the match, while Chilean manager Manuel Pellegrini has big headaches at the hosts. Pellegrini was a Manchester City champion in 2014 and was replaced on the “Citizens” bench even with Pep Guardiola!
West Ham finds it difficult to bind some good parties, because Pellegrini has been forced to improvise the season because of medical problems. And this time, you will miss a whole host team! Carroll, Lanzini, Reid, Sanchez, Wilshere, Yarmolenko and Fredericks are injured, while Snodgrass is suspended. Instead, Pep Guardiola is just without Mangala and De Bruyne, but the Catalan has a vast lot that allows him to replace without the team’s expression losing quality.
West Ham is in 13th place in the standings (goal 14-18) and is currently out of the relegation zone, but any wrong move can throw the “hammers” again in the basement. Manchester City has begun to defend the title conquered last season and is ranked 1st in the hierarchy with 10 wins and two draws in 12 stages (36-5 golaver). Manchester City is playing a splendid handball game, which few English bands can handle. This is why we will also bet on a good evolution of white-blue, which are very motivated to get as many points as possible until Christmas.
Manchester City impressed the United rival.
In the past, the “citizens” subordinated the big rivals of Manchester United (3-1), in a game that was at the discretion of Pep Guardiola’s students. Although he has excellent results lately, Manchester City will not scare West Ham. The Londoners have evolved well in the derbys of this and will resist resistance through a great physical commitment, but also by covering the terrain more efficiently. In a 3-5-2 system, the hosts could be caught up quite often by the fast-paced “citizens” who scored 18 goals in the last 5 official matches and received only three. West Ham comes after a 1-1 defeat with Huddersfield and has only one victory in the last 6 stages, that 4-2 on the field with Burnley.
Manchester City feels good on West Ham’s land, where he has won without the right to appeal the last 4 visits: 5-0, 4-0, 3-0 and 4-1 are the scores recorded by the band in Manchester on the Hammer Arena “! In fact, each of the last six direct matches between the two bands was won by Pep Guardiola’s students. With an excellent game of play and Aguero, Sterling, Sane or Bernardo Silva’s “explosions,” City will always expose the enemy gate to danger.

West Ham: Fabianski – Zabaleta, Balbuena, Diop, Cresswell – Rice – Diangana, Obian, Noble, F. Anderson – Arnautovic
