Manchester City v West Brom Betting Preview – Premier League 16th May 8.00pm
The Citizens still have some work to do to secure a top-four finish and another three points at home would help their cause on Tuesday night. The Citizens banked a home win over Leicester on the weekend and this is not a time to take their foot of the gas as they duel Liverpool and Arsenal for a top four finish. West Brom may not offer the stiffest of opposition as they are on a long winless streak at the moment having lost against Chelsea on Friday night.

Manchester City v West Brom Betting Tips
Manchester City really need the three points in this one at home because it would pretty much guarantee that they get a top four finish and therefore Champions League football next season. City beat Leicester 2-1 at home on the weekend and they just have a little more work to do to get to their goal. A loss here and a win for Arsenal on Tuesday night heaps some pressure on the Citizens. But City are heavy favourites for the win in this one and they are unbeaten on home soil in the Premier League since a 3-1 loss against Chelsea back on December 3rd. They have won three of their last four league games on home soil now (D1) and they have scored seven goals in their last two home fixtures in the top flight. Overall the Citizens have won seven and lost none of their last 11 Premier League matches at the Etihad Stadium; they last went 12 unbeaten on home soil in December 2012 (37-game run).
Over 2.5 goals at Bet365 is a quote of 4/11 and City would probably do most of the goals if that were to happen. Manchester City have scored 31 goals in their last ten games against the Baggies. In the Bet365 correct score market, a Man City 3-0 victory is running at a price of 6/1 and should offer some value. Gabriel Jesus was on target on the weekend again as the Citizens beat Leicester, and he is a 1/2 outright favourite in the anytime goalscorer market. Sergio Aguero is a 4/9 poke and Aguero has scored four goals and assisted another two in his four previous home Premier League games against West Brom. Gabriel Jesus has been directly involved in seven goals in six Premier League starts (scoring five and assisting two) now. Impressive stuff from him, having scored five goals from seven shots on target this season. City’s overall home form this season is W10 D7 L1.
The Baggies can finish no higher than eighth in the league, the position they are in going into this fixture. They aren’t carrying form right now though as they have taken just the one point from their last six Premier League games now and are tanking. They want the end of the season to come quickly. Their away form hasn’t been good either this term with just a W3 D7 L7 record having been posted away from the Hawthorns and they haven’t won on the road since a win at Southampton on December 31st (D4 L3). Baggies boss Tony Pulis have gone up against Man City 16 times before and has produced just a W1 D4 L11 record from that. 47.5% of West Brom’s Premier League goals this season have been scored via set-pieces (exc. penalties), a league-high share. They have also scored 15 goals from corners; another league-high. West Brom have scored in just one of their last seven league games now and a Man City to win to nil bet at bet365 is a price of 8/11. They have scored in just one of their last four away games too.

Man City 2/11, Draw 6/1, West Brom 14/1
Manchester City v West Brom Predictions
Man City home Win: City have to perform in this one and it is worth backing them to get the victory on the board. They are scoring well at the moment and the Baggies have fallen badly out of form. City to win and both teams to score looks value.
