Manchester City form and stats
3-1-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Premier League numbers at home for Manchester City so far this season. Two home wins in a row for Manchester bring valid hopes of a third.
Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Ederson Santana de Moraes not having conceded a league goal in 295 minutes.
Manchester drew their last game, 0-0 away at Manchester United (placed 8th). Previous to that game, a Champions League home match hosting Olympique Marseille in a game that was won 3-0.
It would be a shock if the hosts fail to win this game. Let's see how Manchester have performed as huge favourites like they are today: 22 games found in the database showing 19 Manchester City wins, two draws and one defeat.
Manchester are traveling soon after this match as the Premier League match at Southampton awaits in four days.
Manchester can score goals in their home matches. After 5 league matches they have found the net 11 times. On the other hand, Manchester City have conceded 6 goals.
West Bromwich Albion form and stats
There's been little loot from West Bromwich Albion's travels as they have only collected 1 point from 6 away games in the Premier League. West Bromwich Albion, who have the most conceded goals (25) in Premier League, only have 0 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 1 draw. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in West Bromwich Albion's last three away games as they have all been lost.
WBA are travelling again after losing away to Newcastle United in their previous match (1-2). A loss against Crystal Palace was the result prior to that, in a home game.
WBA are huge outsiders in this game. Running a check in our games database we found one match where they were as big outsiders as an away team. Results were one win, zero draws and zero defeats. Of the defeats, zero games were lost by at least two goals margin.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting WBA as they have only managed to score 4 times from 6 away games in the league. West Bromwich Albion have conceded 13 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: ten wins for Manchester, zero draws and zero wins for West Bromwich Albion. Over 2,5 goals: ten times; under 2,5 goals: zero games.Top Goalscorers
