It is true that West Ham has always been a tough nut to crack for Manchester city; but then they usually scale through by a goal; with impressive recruitment this summer; do you think West Ham can nick all 3 points off from Manchester city if they keep haaland quiet? I think both teams to score is a considerate bet; with a draw too. What do you think ?
Both teams can likely be expected to score, but I'm not quite sure about a draw. So far, Manchester City is a team that is very difficult for their opponents to stop, which means they have managed to win 12 points in the last 4 matches. I believe Manchester City has a high probability of winning at West Ham's home ground, but there is still no 100% guarantee for that.

The hammers with the help of Moyes and the newest signing into the club have taken him to the top for the first games. The most inspiring game was against Chelsea and they turned the oddss around to win the game. Winning three goals ahead.
They have achieved some points now it is time to points if they do not focus against City.
Having no KDB they have always struggled bit they will habe to do better with Pep also absent for that match due to surgery.
Manchester City should win to go top.
I know De Bruyne is a very important player in Pep Guardiola's squad, but Manchester City have managed to do a good job even since De Bruyne was absent. Phil Foden, Bernardo Silva, Alvarez and Haaland were spectacular in the last match against Fulham, so I don't have many doubts about the possibility of a bad match against West Ham this weekend.
Maybe things won't be exactly the same as Guardiola had planned, but I don't see many problems facing Manchester City in that match. Manchester City's record against West Ham so far is good, meaning Manchester City is the favorite in that match to win.
