Manchester City host West Ham United at the Etihad Stadium, with the Blues looking to secure the final three points before Christmas.
City progressed to the Carabao Cup final with a 2-0 win over Brentford on Wednesday night and will play Newcastle United over two legs, with a final against Arsenal or Chelsea if they beat the Geordiers.

Today, however, they face a struggling Hammers side who have won just three of their sixteen games so far this season and are just three points away from relegation safety compared to Wolves and Burnley.

As always, our team is here to give us their thoughts and opinions on the game. Here are our thoughts this week.

Tricky games against odd teams. West Ham are struggling and Manchester City are flying. Winning should be the most important thing. 3-1 City.

It was a good win at Selhurst Park and Weir are one Crystal Palace goal away from full points. However, Thomas and Pitt both tied the score at 2-1, meaning they scored two more points
In the game against Brentford, Saul scored, predicting a 2-0 win for the team. Will’s score is 3-1, so he can get extra points through goal difference, while Thomas’s score is 3-0. Close, but no cigar.
