Honestly at this point, I am not even sure if City would want to play properly. Remember the punishment is due to management and not the players and right now the players knows that they are screwed by the managements... well bad management? So, they may not play properly. If I were to gamble on any game for City to lose with high odds of other team winning, this game could be that game, I personally still think City will win but at the same time it feels like one of those games that could shock the world.

City players may decline to play properly and they may just "sell" the game basically by playing horribly to give a message to the teams owners and such. Many of them probably are even looking to go to another team as soon as possible this off season as well.

I'll try to watch the 1st half of Man City vs West Ham, just to see what the atmosphere in the stadium is gonna be like after the UEFA ban news.
I suspect that many people hope City will get worse after the UCL ban was announced and that is normal for those who do not support City.

Btw, West Ham ML @20.00 odds! Last time i went with the away team to win at the Etihad Stadium was last year, Man City vs Wolverhampton. That Wolves win @20.07 was pretty sweet...But I don't trust this West Ham so i won't risk it today  Roll Eyes
I know that City players will be affected by the UCL ban and they might not be able to totality in this match. But we only need to think about opportunities to win bets and the city is still a team inhabited by top players. I hope they can win this fight at Etihad regardless of the ban on participating in UCL which they will accept next season.

The chances of winning for West Ham tonight seem small even though the oods given are higher and I also think it will be very risky.

i also do not expect to see West Ham winning tonight, City is a much better team, and while demoralized by UEFA ban they will be good enough to win over West Ham, but would skip it, since the quote is very small...

Indeed, betting on City's win give so small profits that it is not value for money.
You can bet on the scoring goals on the games which gives better odds though. I think that city is going to score a lot of goals so I think that +4-6 goals in the game is a good take.

^  What's the line for West Ham +2.5 or +3?  I give Moyes enough credit to hold the score line up to 2 - 0 max and with all the stuff that's been going on at City ofc...

Tonight in the Manchester City vs West Ham match which was postponed yesterday because of the rush weather this time the match really won't be postponed anymore.

In this match Manchester City will win because against Westham which is quite low and will continue to add points to stay away from Leicester.

Btw ,, what about the UEFA sanctions given to mancity? it's useless now in second place if next season can't join UCL.

Really it is disappointing performance from chelsea yesterday night because they lose the game with 0-2 against man utd. But I was placed bet on chelsea it was bit more disappointed to me my both bets gone and congrats to man utd for great show in yesterdays game.
You are not alone in this list as we have very long list of losers because Chelsea recent form was good and most of peoples feeling they can handle Manchester United at home but they play very good and shock the all as they done against Manchester City some time ago its good win for them.

This has been a constant problem with premier league and NBA, the refs are so thick headed that whenever they make a mistake they just let it be instead of fix it, I have literally seen refs who have gone to VAR for their horrible mistake and then saw the mistake and still didn't changed the call, same goes with NBA refs as well, they get challenge the call and they go to screens and do not change the call when it is 100% wrong call.

We have to make sure to do something about these refs as the people if we have to otherwise the leagues are doing nothing about it, they don't even fine the wrong calls properly, if the wrong calls were fined properly and punished I am pretty sure that refs would have incentives to actually make the right calls and we should teach younger generations to be refs as well, everyone wants to be a sports player but when they fail they go to another job, they should switch to referee more often.

Man Utd. made it in the end but judging by the play, Chelsea didn't deserved that scoreline not the nil at least. Bad luck continue for Chelsea.
Chelsea only had 1 shot on target from 6 attempts while the other 5 were off target. Although the percentage of is ball possesion is superior to Manchester United, they must lose to Man-United 0-2. What is wrong with Chelsea? IMO is not a mistake. But Man-United can maximize their chances in front of goal and score goals  and supporters at the Onld Trafford stadium really helped the team get the most out of 3 points. When a big team is brought together in a match, I dont think if one of them loses then that team is a bad team. But in football there must be a team that loses or the match ends in a draw.

Yeah it's true that Chelsea can't maximize the chances of that kick so it's not accurate on goal while Manchester United is more focused on their main goal to be more targeted on goal and the end becomes a goal.
Now the percentage of possession cannot guarantee that they still win only the ball and cannot score a goal or win for their team.

Actually they had very good amount of chances but they wasted all of it. Check highlights and you will know why most of us think that Chelsea should have made it. They had two goals but both were ruled out by VAR.

I played Manchester United draw no bet yesterday night and didn’t play a good amount of money as I thought chances are low for this to happen.I was gladly surprised when I checked the result at Flashscore and saw the result of 0-2.I think Chelsea lately has problems with their game play.

Chances were not too low actually,,, Chelsea can even lose to teams like Burnley so it should be no surprise to see them lose like this. The problem with all the big teams is they do not know how to win consistently so when it comes to big 6 meeting, take the one expected to lose, very good odds in there.

I didn't see the match in full, but saw the final results through statistics. That Chelsea actually controlled the match, but they didn't make any chances. Only once did "shots on target" and different from that done by Manchester United, they took advantage of the opportunity by scoring 2 goals.

Chelsea have not won any 3 matches. Only 2 points from the draw.

Very disappointing outcome of the match, Chelsea didn't play that badly to lose 2-0 to united. When I saw the lineup, I was furious but after taking sometime to think, I just hope Lampard's gamble paids off. He rested our top scorer for the champions league game coming soon and started players like Batshuayi which cost use this match with the numerous chances he missed.

Giroud had an impact that was worth mentioning, his linkup passes where superb and that brilliant header that got rules out by VAR for offside, just wished he started instead of Batshuayi. Pedro was confused although the match as his presence wasn't not felt.

Mount has been criticized all season but that free kick was something else, more from him in that manner and he might just win back the Chelsea supporters heart. Nevertheless the boys tried their best and it's disappointing to know that Ole was able to beat us in all competition this season.

Ps: Ighalo physicality shouldn't be underestimated, he got alot of goals in him. Congratulations on his debut (which he almost scored).

This game was very crucial for Chelsea and yet they lost it.
Now they lost tough with the top 3 positions but also they are getting followed hard by order teams above them.
If Lampard doesn't manage to proceed the team to the next Champions league knockout, he is going to leave the club.

In fact, I was really unlucky because Chelsea lost and my bet was lost for some reason. In my opinion, the Chelsea match was less attractive because it was more dominant in Man United's attack.
I don't know whether Chelsea will be more focused at UCL because in a few days they will compete there maybe they will focus more on a more prestigious one.

Congratulation on whatever you won.
Both Utd and Chelsea are not the teams to trust so I kept myself away from gambling yesterday. But I was giving advantages to Chelsea because of them being the home team. They did not play bad but were extremely unlucky and perhaps the victim of bad refereeing.

Not reacting to Maguire foul and we all know he eventually had the winning goal for Utd and giving a controversial VAR decision to disallowed Chelsea's first goal.

A risky decision results in disappointment.
Why should lampard rest his top scorer even though the UCL match they have to play is still next week and this Saturday they still have to play with Tottenham which certainly won't be easy to get points, meaning there is a possibility not get the maximum in 2 EPL matches just to concentrate at UCL.

Well if you ask for my opinion, I'll say based on how we have three important matches back to back, just maybe Lampard isn't taking any chances to avoid an injury to Abraham or maybe him getting exhausted. If he was to play all three matches, then the chances of him performing is reduced most especially as he's still a developing striker.

Probably Giroud will start next match then maybe he'll be substituted for Abraham if the need for a new striker is needed. The champions league is very important to Lampard from his reaction, there's nothing he can do in the premier league to outperform Sarri so i guess that's why he's more focus on advancing in CL.

The struggle began to reach a very different dimension. I think it's true that he will be the champion for Liverpool now. But United, which is having a bad season, is on the rise again. There are only 3 points left behind the Chelsea. It seems like a fierce struggle for the Champions League has begun. If City's appeal won't agree by the UEFA then 5th team will join Champions League next year.
