West Ham take on the visitors Manchester City in the round 64 match of English Cup. The match will be played on Friday, January 6th at Olympic Stadium (London).
Premier League sides only start their path in the competition so we have only league matches to consider in our prediction. The opponents played their recent BPL matches on January 3rd which gives them the same three days for the rest. So, we can expect to see strong players in lineups with some of the bench players involved. The visiting side won’t be counting of Fernandinho, who got sent off while Feghuli’s red card was canceled and he is available. It gives us group to expect top performance from both sides.

The most recent head-to-head between the teams ended with 3-1 win of the City. West Ha played 20 matches since then and managed to score in 16 of these games. Moreover, only Southampton and the United managed to record clean sheets at Olympic Stadium. Guardiola’s men, in turn, played 25 matches since then, failing to score only against Tottenham, Manchester United, Barcelona and Liverpool. There are almost no doubts the City will find the way to score as they’ve done in matches against lower-level opponents in past 15 matches.
Considering the above we can expect to see goals on both ends of the pitch. In case of a draw, the team will play second leg in Manchester and no one need an extra match in such close schedule so the teams will try to end thing in one match and it suggest we will see end-to-end football in the matchup.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
