West Ham vs Manchester City Betting Tips: Latest odds, team news, preview and predictions

Manuel Pellegrini has the chance to come back his former club when West Ham take on Manchester City on Saturday.

The Chilean manager spent three seasons at the Etihad Stadium, winning a Premier League title and two League Cups during his tenure there.

Latest Odds

Having overseen just three wins in 12 league matches since returning to England, he is available at 11/1 (12.00) with SportPesa to pull off a shock victory over his former employers.

However, the Citizens have dropped just two four from their opening 12 fixtures, and are clear 1/4 (1.25) favourites to extend their current winning streak to eight in a row in all competitions.

There has been just one draw in the past 13 encounters between this pair, although you can get odds of 5/1 (6.00) on them cancelling each other out in this one.

Team News

Ryan Fredericks has joined Manuel Lanzini, Winston Reid, Carlos Sanchez and Andriy Yarmolenko on a lengthy injury list, although Andy Carroll and Jack Wilshere could be set for a return to the squad.

Bernardo Silva is a doubt after picking up a muscle injury on international duty, with Kevin De Bruyne, Claudio Bravo, and Benjamin Mendy all ruled out.

It is fair to say that the London Stadium has not proved a particularly happy home for the Hammers, who have only won two consecutive home games once at the former Olympic venue - way back in December 2016.

In contrast, Pep Guardiola's men have certainly enjoyed visiting this corner of east London, winning three out of three matches and scoring 13 goals in the process.

Having scored 15 goals in just their last three matches, the guests will be looking forward to similar joy against a defence that has kept just two clean sheets in 15 fixtures this campaign.

Predictions

Indeed, odds of 10/11 (1.91) look a smart investment on City scoring at least three times for their fifth match in six against West Ham.
