Manchester City vs West Ham 03.05.2023

Manchester City followed up their impressive 4-1 win over Arsenal in their potential title-deciding face-off with a more hard-fought 2-1 win at Fulham which saw them overtake the Gunners atop the standings. They are now firmly in the driver’s seat in this exciting photo finish to the season. Pep Guardiola’s men have been dominant at home, with the win over Arsenal being their 7th straight. They will therefore be in high spirits as they welcome the struggling West Ham here.

The visitors have had a less than impressive domestic season by their standards, two straight losses, at home to Liverpool in midweek and away at Palace at the weekend has them rooted in 15th place on the log, as they look perilously over the shoulders at relegation teams just below them. Ironically, they are doing splendidly in Europe, with a semifinal against AZ Alkmaar in the Conference League coming up. Coach Moyes has voiced his displeasure at the officiating at recent games and could possibly face a sanction from the FA.

City’s mercurial forward continued his amazing goalscoring season as he bagged his 50th goal of the season against Fulham. Trying to stop him will be Fabianski who has kept clean sheets in two of his last 3 road games. Haaland though has been a beast in front of goal though and we fancy him to add to his season’s tally here.
