In my opinion West Ham have really good chances to avoid big loss in today's match up.
West Ham still is only 4 points above relegation zone. For sure they have big motivation before this game. In current season they plays much better than their position in table can suggest. They scored 37 goals, but according to the expected goals scored model they should score 45.2. Also they should concede 3 goals less than they should. After streak of 5 matches without a loss, they lost last two matches in a row, but twice looked very solid.
City have fully packed schedule and for them the most important are 3 points, not big win. We saw that in last round match against Fulham on away when they recorded 2:1 win. In addition to that, their best player in current season De Bruyne (according to the ratings) is very doubtful and probably manager Guardiola will don't wants to risk him before big matches in Champions League against Real Madrid.
In last 7 matches West Ham didn't lost with more than one goal difference 5 times. Twice they lost with exactly two goals margin.

在我看来,西汉姆在今天的比赛中有很好的机会避免大的损失。
西汉姆仍然只比降级区高出4分。在这场比赛之前,他们肯定有很大的动力。本赛季他们的表现比他们在积分榜上的排名要好得多。他们进了37球,但根据预期进球模型,他们应该进45.2球。而且他们应该少丢3个球。在连续5场不败之后,他们最近输了两场比赛,但两场比赛看起来都很稳定。
曼城的赛程排得满满的,对他们来说最重要的是3分,而不是大胜。我们在上一轮客场对阵富勒姆的比赛中看到了这一点,当时他们2:1取胜。除此之外,他们本赛季的最佳球员德布鲁因(根据评分)也很值得怀疑,主教练瓜迪奥拉可能不想在欧冠对阵皇马的重要比赛前让他冒险。
在过去的7场比赛中,西汉姆联5次没有以1球以上的差距输球。他们两次以两球之差输掉比赛。
