Our tipster expects Pep Guardiola's side to enjoy a comfortable evening when Manuel Pellegrini's Hammers make the trip to Etihad Stadium on Wednesday
Manchester City play host to West Ham United in the Premier League on Wednesday night.
City won the Carabao Cup final on penalties against Chelsea on Sunday afternoon. An energy-sapping 120 minutes at Wembley, though, is far from ideal preparation for this fixture.
The Hammers, however, have lost four of their last five away matches in all competitions and Manuel Pellegrini's men will have to be at their best if they are to deal a massive blow to City's title aspirations.
Manchester City are chalked up as SportPesa's 4/25 (1.16) favourites to maintain pressure on Premier League leaders, Liverpool.
The Hammers are chalked up as a 17/1 (18.0) chance with SportPesa to claim a famous victory in Manchester and it is 27/4 (7.75) that Wednesday's match ends in stalemate.
Aymeric Laporte and Fernandinho will both miss out after limping off against the Blues on Sunday. John Stones and Benjamin Mendy remain out, so City are somewhat short of defensive cover.
Sergio Aguero, Bernardo Silva and Raheem Sterling - who all scored in that shoot-out at Wembley - played the full 120 minutes against Chelsea. All three men could be at risk of rotation here, for City have a hectic schedule ahead.
Fabian Balbuena, Jack Wilshere, Andriy Yarmolenko and Carlos Sanchez are all long-term injury absentees for the Hammers.
There have been at least three goals scored in each of City's last 10 Premier League matches on home soil and eight of those fixtures featured at least four goals. There is, therefore, plenty of potential for an explosive encounter at Etihad Stadium.
SportPesa offer just 1/3 (1.34) that there are more than two goals in the game. The same firm go 20/23 (1.87) that there are at least four goals scored.
City, though, have kept a clean sheet in just two of their last nine home Premier League matches.
Furthermore, West Ham have scored in seven of their last nine games and fired three past Fulham on Friday night. SportPesa offer 20/23 (1.87) that both teams are on target in this match.
However, West Ham have failed to score in their last three league defeats away from home and City, meanwhile, have conceded just once in their last six home matches in all competitions.
SportPesa's even money (2.0) quote for Manchester City to win to nil, then, may prove popular with punters on Wednesday night.
