Summary:
Last season Manchester City was the better team in every statistical category. Manchester City will have the ball for most of the game and they were the best attacking team in the EPL last season. Manchester City was a little shaky in the back at times last season but I don’t think West Ham has the attacking power to exploit the few opportunities they will get. I like Manchester City at home to win this one.
