Manchester City hosts West Ham United in round 13 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, November 28th at Etihad Stadium (Manchester)
Manchester City continues to win. In the last round of the Premier League, the Citizens dealt with Everton at home with a score of 3-0. That victory allowed them to score 26 points and gain a foothold in the 2nd line in the standings. The gap to the leading Chelsea is three points. At the same time, the gap from the 3rd Liverpool is one point. Four out of five previous matches in the championship ended with "Both teams to score – no". Manchester City is the third most scoring team in the Premier League (25 goals). Only Liverpool and Chelsea scored more goals. Guardiola's players share the status of the best home team in England with Chelsea. They scored 13 points in six matches. The Citizens are worth noting for their reliability in defense — only six goals conceded in 12 matches.

Even after losing to Wolverhampton in the last round (1-0), West Ham continues to be in the TOP-4, namely, on the 4th line. After 12 matches, the team has 23 points. Before a defeat to the Wolves, the Hammers were on a streak of four victories in a row. In addition, David Moyes' charges didn’t lose in eight consecutive away matches in the Premier League. Today West Ham is the third-best team in the number of points scored on foreign pitches (13 in six games). The Hammers failed to score in only two out of six away matches. I will add that on November 25, the Irons played an away Europa League match against Rapid Vienna and won with a score of 0-2.
In the current season, Manchester City and West Ham have already played against each other in the League Cup. The teams were unable to determine the strongest in regulation time, but Londoners were stronger in the penalty shootout. Nine out of ten previous head-to-head matches at Etihad Stadium ended with Under 3.5 goals scored. Like West Ham, Manchester City played in the European competitions in the middle of the week. But Guardiola's charges had more time to recover. I am sure this cannot but affect the course of the upcoming match. At the same time, do not forget about how well the Hammers play on foreign pitches (13 points were earned in six games, and only one match ended without a goal scored). Of course, the roster of the Citizens is stronger. But the visitors are in great shape. I think that the upcoming confrontation will turn out to be very interesting and productive.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
