On Saturday, a couple of games in the English Premier League are going to happen. One of the matches will be between West Ham United and Manchester City. After 2 games, West Ham has 1 win and 1 loss, a total of 3 points and 9th place while City has 2 wins, a total of 6 points and 1st place. In this game, I predict City's win.

West Ham started the season with a tough loss against Aston Villa 1:2. The team had a little bit bigger ball control, and a better xG rating but shots on target were equal. West Ham won the next game against Crystal Palace 2:0. Interesting, that this time West Ham had only 42% ball control, xG's were almost identical but they had more shots on target and overall. After 2 games, West Ham has created xG of 3.7, xGA is 3.3 with a difference of +0.4.

As for Man City, they beat Chelsea on the road (2:0) and it was followed by a 4:1 win against Ipswich. Against Chelsea, Man City didn't have the best xG but the team had more shots overall and on target. Interesting that Ipswich scored first last week but then City scored 3 goals in 4 minutes and sealed the deal. After 2 games, City has created xG of 4.1, xGA is 1.2 with a difference of +2.9.

Aaron Cresswell is nursing a hamstring injury and will undergo a scan to determine the severity of his injury. As for Man City, Oscar Bobb is facing several months on the sidelines after undergoing surgery on a fractured leg, while Rodri remains a fitness doubt but has returned to training this week.

I'm going with City in this one. Two different levels of teams are meeting in this matchup, and City should take all 3 points. Manchester is fighting for the title and they can't afford to lose points against lower-tier teams. If we look historically, City has won 6 out of the last 7 matchups against West Ham.

周六，英超联赛将有几场比赛。其中一场比赛将在西汉姆联队和曼城之间进行。2场比赛后，西汉姆联1胜1负，积3分，排名第9，曼城2胜，积6分，排名第1。在这场比赛中，我预测曼城会赢。

西汉姆在赛季初以1:2惨败阿斯顿维拉。这支球队的控球能力更强一些，xG值也更好一些，但射正的次数是一样的。西汉姆联队在下一场比赛中以2:0战胜水晶宫。有趣的是，这次西汉姆只有42%的控球率，xG的控球率几乎相同，但他们的射门次数更多。两场比赛后，西汉姆创造的xG值为3.7,xGA值为3.3，两者相差+0.4。

至于曼城，他们在客场2:0战胜了切尔西，随后又4:1战胜了伊普斯维奇。在对阵切尔西的比赛中，曼城并没有打出最好的射门，但是球队的射门次数和射正次数都更多。有趣的是，伊普斯维奇上周先进了球，但随后曼城在4分钟内连进3球，完成了交易。两场比赛后，曼城创造的xG为4.1,xGA为1.2，两者相差+2.9。

亚伦·克雷斯韦尔正在治疗腿筋受伤，并将接受扫描以确定伤势的严重程度。至于曼城，奥斯卡-鲍勃在接受了腿部骨折的手术后将面临几个月的缺阵，而罗德里的健康状况仍不确定，但他已经在本周恢复了训练。

这次我支持曼城队。两支不同级别的球队将在这场比赛中相遇，曼城应该全取三分。曼彻斯特正在为冠军而战，他们不能在面对低级别球队时丢分。如果我们回顾历史，曼城在最近7场对阵西汉姆联的比赛中赢了6场。
