PR - Football - England - Premier League

Man City are big favorites in every match, including this one. The Citizens are first with maximal effect after four rounds. Nevertheless, I think West Ham could upset them. The Hammers have started the new season very good, with three victories (Chelsea, Brighton and Luton Town) and one draw (Bournemouth). Not since the 1999-2000 season under Harry Redknapp have West Ham made a better start to a Premier League season. Manager David Moyes is doing an excellent job and the fans are pleased.

The absence of Kevin de Bruyne is another reason for my pick. He is out injured, but there is more - John Stones, Jack Grealish and Mateo Kovacic have all been ruled out of the match. Guardiola has a long roster, but the absence of the mentioned four players is a handicap.

West Ham are able to make Manchester City big problems in the final third, particularly from set-pieces. They have player able to make difference is such situations - James Ward-Prowse.
