Manchester City Preview – Can City extend impressive run?
A 2-0 win away from home against M’gladbach in the Champions League during the week not only handed Manchester City a useful 1st leg lead in the elite European competition but it also extended City’s winning streak to an excellent 19 matches on the trot in all competitions.
It’s been an extraordinary sequence of results for the hosts who have also excelled on the domestic front too as they hold a commanding 10-point lead over Manchester United and Leicester City, along with winning their last six home matches on the trot.
However, only six of City’s 19 wins have been by a margin of three goals or more while just two of these last six home wins have also been by the same margin which provides West Ham with a glimmer of hope here.
West Ham Preview – Can Hammers hold their own?
It’s also been an excellent campaign for West Ham too this season in the Premier League as the visitors currently sit in 4th place and also one of the Champions League spots ahead of this tough lunchtime clash with the league leaders.
However, West Ham are unlikely to be daunted by the task ahead of them as The Hammers have lost just one of their last 11 matches in the top flight and that was at home to Liverpool in a 3-1 loss but otherwise, the London club have made themselves hard to beat in this campaign.
West Ham have also impressed on the road too this term and they bring a five-match unbeaten run on the road into this lunchtime clash which includes wins at Everton, Crystal Palace and Aston Villa and have lost by three goals or more just once to date (3-0 away at Chelsea).
