Staff Prediction – Manchester City vs. West Brom
By FanSided
With the Champions League spot still up for grabs, Manchester City takes on always tough West Brom. How will City fair against Tony Pulis’ side? Our staff members look into their crystal ball to predict the future.
Larry Henry: Manchester City 3-1 West Brom
Manchester City has won their last two while West Brom has struggled for positive results for over a month now. I expect the Citizens to take full advantage of the home crowd while Jesus, Sane, and Silva all get on the scoresheet. West Brom will score a consolation goal near the end, but our boys should stamp a top-four finish with a win!
Taras Tataryn: Manchester City 2-0 West Brom
West Brom could are currently in a run of poor form, having lost 5 of their last 6 matches. This fixture has also been one-sided for as long as I can remember, with City winning 12 out of the last 14. We didn’t exactly play brilliant last game, but things seem to be going our way at the moment. Will not be an easy game, but my prediction is City 2 – West Brom 0.
Athan Tsokolas: Manchester City 3-1 West Brom
Manchester City needs to win this game to continue their fight for third place, and West Brom doesn’t have much to play for. With this, I think City start quick and this will open up West Brom and make it easier to score more goals on them.
Jag Sidhu: Manchester City 2-0 West Brom
The Baggies may as well have been on a beach somewhere given their recent form of five losses in their last six matches. I’m expecting a fully motivated City side to make quick work of West Brom in order to give departing legend Pablo Zabaleta the appropriate send-off on his final home match. There will be waterworks from me after the game. #ourzab
Kee Min: Manchester City 1-1 West Brom
I’m going to be known as the pessimist, but I just have this eerily feeling that somehow, someway Manchester City is going to bottle it. West Brom is in a terrible form without motivation. City needs the win. Guardiola’s side will control the game, but the Baggies will pop one in during set pieces and hold on to their lives for a tie.
