1. Goals

There is always a goal fest whenever the Citizens and the Hammers square off. With four of the last five meetings between both sides producing at least four goals, this is a perfect game for you if you want to back the goals on your accumulator.

Seven of the last 10 editions of this fixture has finished with at least three goals scored when Man. City played as the home side. Six of those 10 featured goals being scored at both ends of the pitch.

2. Manchester to Win

Nine times out of the last 10 when Man. City welcomed West Ham in a Premier League match, Pep Guardiola’s side always came out on top. The same trend has occurred whenever they played this fixture away from home.

The last time West Ham defeated Manchester City was in 2015. Since then, both sides have clashed 11 times, with only one ending in a 2-2 draw.

3. City to Score First

This is a game that Manchester City love to play. Asides exerting so much dominance on their opponent, City have almost always finished off the game before it even started. And this is evident in the number of times they’ve scored early goals.

In the last 10 meetings between both sides, Manchester City scored first in eight of them. The Manchester Blues also ensured that they finished as first half winners in eight of those 10 matches.

Manchester City have only won two of their last five games in all competitions. West Ham are currently on a six-game winless streak. Both sides will be looking to bounce back to winning ways before their big weekend games.

A win for Pep Guardiola’s side will give them the boost they need for their clash against Leicester City. West Ham will need all the confidence the can find before they travel to Anfield Stadium to take on Liverpool. What’s your bet for this game going to be?
