West Bromwich hosts Manchester City in round 20 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Tuesday, January 26th at The Hawthorns (West Bromwich)
West Bromwich has been promoted to the elite only this season, and now it is trying its hand against the background of the strongest teams in the country. The bosses have recently hired Sam Allardyce, who is considered the ideal specialist for the Premier League underdogs and middle peasants. So far, the experienced mentor cannot boast of high results – his new team takes second place from the end of the standings and has real prospects of returning to the Championship. West Bromwich relies on experienced footballers who have held many matches in the Premier League. Ivanovic, Townsend, Snodgrass, Livermore, Gibbs, and Johnston are rather skilled players that can help their team gain positive results. West Brom also has young talents such as Diangana, Gallagher, Pereira, and Grant.

Manchester City is the most formidable English club in terms of its financial and staffing capabilities. The team played dumb in the first part of the season, but it has joined the big race since October. Now no one pokes a finger at the failures of Guardiola's charges but looks with fear at their victorious step. Manchester won the last nine official matches and scored 17 goals against their opponents (and only two conceded). Guardiola has sorted out the available talent pool and is actively using rotation in every match. The only drawback of modern Manchester is the lack of an efficient striker. Aguero is not as strong as before, Gabriel Jesus cannot prove himself, and Torres is only getting used to big football. Nevertheless, the team looks great in all other respects.
It is hard to believe in the WBA's ability to impose a competitive struggle on a formidable favorite. Guardiola's players have gained perfect shape in the last matches. They hammer their opponents without any problems and regularly keep a clean sheet. What can the Throstles oppose to the grandee? Nothing sensible given Allardyce's meager potential for tactical maneuvering.
Prediction for the match: Manchester City to win with -1.5 handicap
