Friday at 7:55 p.m., West Ham meets Manchester City in an FA Cup match, match of round number 3.
West Ham is again put into dificulate as it comes after two defeats in the Premier League, without both scored by Slaven Bilic offensive. Just days ago, the “Olympic Stadium” came Manchester United, the team that took advantage of the fact that WHU has evolved in ten people over a half and was won 2-0. Moreover, “Ciocanarii” directele have a bitter taste in the City, because in August they played in the championship, while West Ham lost 1-3, but instead of disputing the match was in Manchester on ‘Etihad Stadium’ .
Lot Info: Arthur Masuaku, Diafra Sakho, Alvaro Arbeloa and Gokhan Tore are injured.
Manchester Ciy comes “Olympic Stadium” from the position of favorite, she having a good morale after last 2-1 Burnley just days ago. Pep Guardiola was very disappointed with the performance of his students, particularly as City came after the defeat to Liverpool (0-1), so I think he wants to win this trophy that Manchester City did not won the 2010/2011 season. Moreover, “citizens” came the last time in the final of the FA Cup four years ago, he lost in front of Wigan.
Lot Info: Vincent Kompany and Ilkay Gungogan are injured, while Fabian Delph is suspended.
Probable teams:
West Ham (4-2-3-1): Adrian – Antonio – Reid – Ohbonna – Cresswell – Noble – Obiang – Ayew – Lanzini – Feghouli – Carroll
Manchester City (4-1-4-1): Caballero – Zabaleta – Otamendi – Stones – Clichy – Fernando – Sterling – Toure – Garcia – Nolito – Aguero
Friday night promises to be a spectacular match, statistics say that at least the last three direct matches when goals were scored on both sides, and their number was minimal 3. Altogether, City comes motivated to win, knowing that he needs a trophy at the end of this season and the FA Cup is far from indemnaa against Premier League and I think will win in the end.
Tip: City win
Stake: 8/10
Odds: 1.65 at bet365
