The only misfire occurred in the Premier League, where the Hammers lost to Brentford (1-2). Last Sunday the Irons were stronger than Tottenham at home (1-0). For the hosts, who chose defensive tactics, one goal scored by Michail Antonio in the 72nd minute was enough for success.

The current holders of the League Cup started a new draw from the 1/16 finals. Manchester City destroyed Wycombe Wanderers at home (6-1). The Citizens are also in great shape after a pause for the matches of the national teams. The champions of the country have won the last three games. They dealt with Burnley at home (2-1), gave a master class for Club Brugge KV in the away game of the Champions League (1-5), and gained a confident away victory over Brighton (1-4). Philip Foden was the best in the match against the Seagulls. The young midfielder scored a double and gave an assist to Riyad Mahrez. Ilkay Gundogan scored one more goal.
For Manchester City, a victory in the League Cup has become a tradition in recent years, and the Citizens are unlikely to abandon their dominance in this tournament. West Ham is in good shape, but it will have a tough time against Guardiola's motivated team. The game in London can be productive. The Hammers have scored at least one goal in nine previous matches in all competitions, and they will surely be able to extend this streak at home. On the other hand, Manchester City was inclined to play efficiently in recent matches: Over 3.5 goals scored were recorded in three out of four cases. The statistics of head-to-head matches are also in favor of a large number of goals scored. Teams from London and Manchester have scored at least three times in ten out of thirteen previous matches in the Premier League and the Cups.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
