Manchester City hosts West Bromwich in round 13 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Tuesday, December 15th at Etihad Stadium (Manchester)
Guardiola's men managed to accomplish the important task of reaching the Champions League playoffs. Now the concentration of the Citizens will be directed to the local arena, where they need to win back a considerable gap to the leaders (six points). Manchester began to consistently gain victorious results and show 100% dedication in the Premier League. Now the team is arranging slight restructuring of the lineup, which invariably leads to game difficulties. Summer newcomers (Ruben Dias, Ake, and F. Torres) are gradually adapting to the style of the Citizens. Young Foden, Eric Garcia, and G. Jesus play an increasing role in the team. The recognized leaders of Manchester have not gone anywhere - De Bruyne, Sterling, Ederson, Laporte, and Bernardo are still making history on the football field.

Returning to the elite is difficult for the Throstles, and the team is predictably fighting for survival. So far, Slaven Bilic's men are the worst in terms of the reliability of the defensive line and demonstrate low efficiency in the attack. It is unlikely that one can expect significant progress from West Brom in the second part of the season because the roster of this team is considered the weakest in the league. In the summer, the club did a good job in the transfer market, having signed contracts with such young talents as Diangana, Pereira, Grant, and Robinson. Kipre and Button were probably bought for rotation. Ivanovic can become the leader of the Throstles’ defense, and Gallagher and Krovinovic are loaned with the right to purchase.
Manchester is actively gaining momentum in the local arena, where Guardiola's men have significantly lagged behind the leading group. The Citizens should not repeat the mistakes of the last season. West Bromwich is trying to get out of the relegation zone. From a game point of view, the Throstles have obvious problems - low efficiency of the offensive line and constant mistakes in defense. We think the hosts will manage to win with a large goal difference.
Prediction for the match: Manchester City to win with -2.0 handicap
