Man City vs West Ham Match Preview Wednesday 3rd May 2023

🕗 Wednesday 3rd of May, 20:00 GMT

Here’s our preview of this important Premier League game at both ends of the table along with all the stats to help you make up your bet builders and a couple of football betting tips for the game included as well.

On Wednesday night in the Premier League, we see now 2nd-placed Manchester City take on 15th-placed West Ham at the Etihad Stadium. Man City will be looking to regain top spot in the Premier League again tonight after Arsenal overtook them after their 3-1 home win against another poor Chelsea performance last night.

West Ham will be looking for an unlikely three points that would carry them further away from the relegation zone as they look to ensure that they are playing Premier League football at the start of next season.

Earlier this season when the two sides met at the London Stadium we saw Manchester City run out comfortable 0-2 winners thanks to both goals from Erling Haaland and you wouldn’t rule out him adding to his tally again tonight.

Manchester City's form

Manchester City have now won their last eight Premier League matches and are unbeaten in their last eleven (W 10 D1 L0). Last time out they faced a tricky trip to Craven Cottage to face Fulham where they ran out 1-2 victors with goals from Haaland and Alvarez with Vinicius with the reply for Fulham.

West Ham's form

West Ham have picked up seven points from their last 15 available and last time out they faced Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park with the home side running out 4-3 winners in one of the most entertaining Premier League games of the season.

West Ham took an early lead through Soucek but goals from J Ayew, Zaha and Schlupp saw Palace race into a 3-1 lead. Ten minutes before half time Antonio struck for the Hammers to make it 3-2 at the break.

Eze added another for Palace before Aguerd replied for West Ham but they couldn’t find an equaliser before the full-time whistle.

Crucial players

Arsenal’s key man this season is undoubtedly Erling Haaland. The Norwegian has had a huge impact on City this season with 34 goals. No other player has managed more goals in the league in 2022/2023. Nine of Haaland’s goals have been the tone-setting first goal of the match.

Danny Ings, Michail Antonio and Said Benrahma have been the Hammer’s most prolific players this campaign, scoring eight and five times, respectively.
