MAN CITY v West Ham: The PREVIEW – City’s Probable Team
26 Apr
Roberto Mancini, for the first time this season, has a fully fit squad from which to choose. Micah Richards and Maicon will compete with Pablo Zabaleta for the right-back berth, while Joleon Lescott’s extra aerial strength may get him the nod over Matija Nastasic.
David Silva has recovered from injury, as has Sergio Aguero, with both attacking stars likely to be named in the starting line-up. James Milner is hopeful of being fit but could miss out anyway, with Samir Nasri expected to retain his place.
Here is the side Mancini could select:
Referee: Howard Webb – He officiated the goalless draw between the sides earlier this season, whilst he was also the man in charge when the Blues defeated Southampton on the first day of the campaign and for the terrific away victory against Stoke in the FA Cup.
Prediction: MAN CITY 2 – 1 West Ham – Now the title race is mathematically over, City could react in two ways. They could either play with a sense of freedom and openness or they could lose all heart and limp to the end of the season. Whichever City turns up, the Blues should have enough quality to defeat the visitors. Goals to be scored by Carlos Tévez, Sergio Aguero and Andy Carroll.
