As e be so, Manchester City dey hot as dem prepare to square off with West Ham United for di Etihad Stadium. Na serious matter be dis o, as City wan ensure say dem keep pressure for Arsenal wey dey lead di table.
City don dey hot lately, dem don gather six sweet victories back to back for all competitions. Na wetin dem need be dis to rise again for di league and dem don even secure belle comot for di Carabao Cup semi-finals. Pep Guardiola, di gaffer, don reason say e be like say dem don find their mojo again. If dem fit carry di day against West Ham, dem go momentarily shoot to di top of di table as Arsenal go face Everton later.
Na consistent play wey City don showcase dey close di gap, and dis one na dia chance to position demself as dem dey eye dem ninth Premier League title. No be small thing o! Di record be say West Ham no fit win against City for over ten years in di league, and City don score 18 goals in di last six meetings. Dem dey ready to fire again.
But how West Ham go fit contain di Cityzens? As e stand now, dem dey sit for di bottom three, and di confidence no dey show for dem side. Nuno Espírito Santo wey don take over, dey try to bring balance to di team, but di wins still dey hard to find. Things no easy as relegation dey loom for dem.
Guardiola don talk say Jérémy Doku and some other key players no go fit play for dis match. Rodri, Mateo Kovačić, and John Stones dey sidon for injury bench, making di task tougher for City. But dem get firepower – Erling Haaland don dey perform, and Phil Foden dey ready to combine. E go be disaster for West Ham if dem no tighten dia defence because City dey come full speed.
For West Ham, di gaffer Don Nuno dey make plans as Niclas Füllkrug don return but dem still dey struggle without Aaron Wan-Bissaka and El Hadji Malick Diouf wey don join di Africa Cup of Nations. Di team go likely change formation to hold dem together as di pressure dey mount.
Di clash go show wetin both teams get for pocket. City sabi how to score plenty goals, and with Haaland and di boys fit dey hard for any defence. Na 3-0 win be di prediction for dis match, and if e no go reach dat, make we expect serious fight from di Hammers. West Ham need to step up or dem go dey collect wahala from City who dey hungry for di title.
