Manchester City vs West Ham United – (Monday 8.00pm)

Posted by Scorecaster in Premiership.

This game has been selected for the Monday night TV cameras & it is easy to see why; with the positive football philosophy of both teams, the prospects are certainly high for an entertaining game.

Manchester City have been involved in some intense, high drama games recently & they will certainly come into this game feeling they have a point to prove and points to gain.

Manchester City have produced two good performances recently in their excellent 4-2 win against Arsenal & then of course that amazing Manchester derby which United won 4-3 with a last gasp goal.

That late goal although perfectly legal & timed correctly, understandably caused anger & frustration within the Manchester City squad. but what they must focus on is the many positives they displayed in that game.

Manchester City displayed quality, character, determination & self belief and although 2 of the goals where huge defensive mistakes, Manchester City should be pleased by the way they fought back 3 times to level that match.

Manchester City where strong & impressive at home last season and they look likely to be even stronger this season & this game against West Ham is the perfect opportunity to go for another home win.

The level of quality in attack is what will drive Manchester City forward this season & this game will provide the added spice of Craig Bellamy & Carlos Tevez playing against their former team. Don’t be surprised if they have a major impact on this game.

West Ham United come into this game with their season already looking likely to be entertaining, but inconsistent with a mix of good performances but ultimately poor results.

Gianfranco Zola firmly believes in positive, passing football & West Ham go into all their games determined to play that way, which is entertaining but equally makes them more vulnerable to teams with more quality.

West Ham played well against Liverpool on Saturday showing good quality & commitment but ultimately the extra attacking quality of Liverpool was the deciding factor & that could be case in this game.

West Ham have got quality players with Scott Parker, Carlton Cole & Mark Noble all capable of making an impact on the game but their weakness does appear to be in defence where they lack pace & that must be a big concern against the likes of Tevez, Bellamy & Wright-Phillips.

This match has got the potential to be the most entertaining in the Premier League this weekend given how both Manchester City & West Ham United enjoy playing their football.

West Ham United will play their part as they did against Liverpool but Manchester City have the motivation, home advantage & a clear edge in terms of attacking quality with Tevez, Bellamy & Wright-Phillips all looking to get the goals that give Man City the win.
