High-flying Manchester City aim to extend their winning run to six games and given West Ham’s poor defensive display in a 3-2 loss to Aston Villa, we predict that the Citizens will do so with a 3-1 win over Nuno Espirito Santo’s troops. The Citizens proved their worth in a 3-0 win over Crystal Palace at the weekend and with the team scoring 2.67 goals per game at home, Man City Over 1.5 seems like a sure bet. Pep Guardiola has no fresh injury worries ahead of West Ham’s visit.
The Hammers, on the other hand, are on a five-game winless run in the national championship. Given their shaky defence, we do not believe that the underdogs are capable of spoiling Man City’s party at Etihad Stadium. Their expected goals of 1.00 on the road is not giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the trip to Manchester. Goalkeeper Lukas Fabianski should be the only absentee in the away team.
Man City have been in a much better form of late than West Ham and with the team winning 74% of the previous 39 meetings with West Ham, Home Win should be considered, with additional value on Man City/Man City and Erling Haaland to Score.
This Premier League match will be played on Saturday 20 December 2025 at 15:00.
