On December 20, Manchester City will welcome West Ham United to the Etihad Stadium for this Premier League fixture.

Manchester City continue their impressive winning run, doing so with growing confidence. While victories in Matchdays 13 and 14 were hard-fought (Leeds United 3–2, Fulham 5–4), they were followed by two comfortable wins against Sunderland (3–0) and Crystal Palace (3–0 away).

West Ham United are in need of points to secure their Premier League status and avoid being dragged into a relegation battle. The Hammers are not playing badly overall, but turning solid performances into wins has been a problem. To make matters worse, they seem to be facing one English giant after another.

Prediction for the Manchester City vs West Ham United

Unfortunately for West Ham, this fixture looks set to end without points for the visitors. An away match against a side of Manchester City’s calibre is a huge challenge. From the opening minutes, City are expected to apply intense attacking pressure that West Ham’s defence is unlikely to cope with. There is little doubt that the best bet in this match is a victory for Manchester City.
