Manchester City vs. West Brom
Date: Tuesday May 7, 2013.
Start time: 2:45 p.m. ET (7:45 p.m. British time).
Venue: Etihad Stadium, Manchester, England.
With the FA Cup final coming up next Saturday, Manchester City take on West Bromwich Albion at the Etihad Stadium in a Premier League encounter with little at stake for either side.
Both managers, though, are unlikely to see it that way, with pride at stake for both in a high league finish. City hope to confirm second place, while West Brom challenge for eighth.
The odds are stacked in the favour of the home side on the night, with City's impressive home record matched by a West Brom side who have been poor away from home in 2013.
Indeed, the Midlands outfit have won just one of their last six games in a recent run of disappointing form.
What the Baggies do have in their favour is a forward line capable of scoring goals on the counterattack, something their opponents must watch for throughout the 90 minutes.
Manchester City were undoubtedly poor in a 0-0 draw with Swansea on the weekend. Will Mancini's boys offer an improved showing on Tuesday evening, or will the lingering spectre of the cup final see West Brom to an unlikely victory? All will soon be answered.
