Southampton vs West Brom April 27, 2013


It is hard to tell which of these teams are sitting in the top half of the table and which, up until recently, were caught up in the battle for Premier League survival. Southampton are fourth in the form table, behind only Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United, with Jay Rodriguez and Ricky Lambert currently playing with an almost telepathic understanding in attack. West Brom, meanwhile, have won only one of their last six matches with their cause not helped by the ongoing absence of Chris Brunt and the suspended Youssuf Mulumbu. Jamie Burton

Manchester City vs West Ham April 27, 2013


For all the jubilation that ensued following Manchester City’s inaugural Premier League triumph in 2012, there was bound to come a time when the blue side of Manchester was brought crashing back down to earth.

For the City fans who still clung to the slim belief that they would successfully defend their title, Sunday’s defeat at White Hart Lane served as a reality check. By Monday, Roberto Mancini’s men had been dethroned by their neighbours.

West Ham travel to Eastlands on Saturday lunchtime to face a Manchester City side whose pride remains bruised following a disappointing week. The Hammers won a hard-fought point when these sides last met in November, thwarting every one of Manchester City’s 18 shots on goal. The defensive manner of that West Ham performance may go some way to explaining why City have struggled to replicate last season’s form.

But Mancini must now put everything behind him as he concentrates on a run-in that could have a direct impact on his future. With an FA Cup final looming and 15 points left to scrap for, City must use this period to prove they have the credentials to challenge for a second Premier League title next season.



KICK-OFF: Saturday, 12:45pm

Manchester City to win: 1.29

West Ham to win: 6.6

Draw: 13.5
