Manchester City hosts West Ham United in round 26 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Wednesday, February 19th at Etihad Stadium (Manchester)
I think everyone already knows that Manchester City has been suspended by UEFA from participating in European cups for the next two years due to a violation of financial fair play. But the fun has just begun, and they say the Premier League can punish the Citizens and deprive them of points + completely exclude them from the ranks of the top division! In my opinion, all these troubles seriously complicate the psychological state of hosts before this meeting, and they may easily trip out, not knowing their immediate future. Therefore, the defense of Man City can crack in such a situation. Even without the above-mentioned incidents, it is far from ideal in the current season. For example, it conceded goals from Wolverhampton (three times), Tottenham (twice), Crystal Palace (at home, twice), Everton (at home), Aston Villa, Manchester United (at Etihad, twice), etc.

As for West Ham, the team has nothing to lose. It must try to gain points even in such difficult away matches. Otherwise, the Hammers face an imminent fiasco because they are located in the relegation zone... By the way, the London team does not think of surrendering to the circumstances, periodically snarling in the attack even in duels with top names. More recently, the Hammers scored Leicester (away), Everton, Arsenal, Chelsea (at Stamford Bridge), etc. I can also note a hat trick of West Ham’s attack in the last match with Brighton.
In my opinion, West Ham’s skilled attack is quite capable of taking advantage of the confusion in the camp of Manchester City, which can simply flip out after problems have fallen on it... I’m waiting for at least one “nail” from the Hammers”!
Prediction for the match: West Ham to score over 0.5 goals
