Manchester City, like Chelsea, were one of four teams beaten at odds-on at the weekend. If it happens again over the next few days, then it will be time to tell 2020 officially to ‘go home, you’re drunk’.

Sergio Aguero looks set to return for Man City; West Brom are without the suspended Matheus Pereira

City are one of the shortest priced favourites in the history of the Premier League in this one with 1/16 available for those who just like backing winners. There will be no need for City to play with the Fernandinho and Rodri handbrake in this one – like they did in the mind-numbing draw with Manchester United.

Give the ball to Kevin De Bruyne will be the ploy. His price of 1/4 with Sky Bet for an assist sums up just what a difficult betting heat this one is for anyone looking to get involved.

Man City have won their last 13 Premier League games against West Brom, scoring 37 goals and conceding just nine. It’s the Citizens’ longest winning run against a specific opponent in their top-flight history.

West Brom have never won a Premier League game at the Etihad in 11 attempts (D2 L9), with their last away league win at Man City coming in February 2003 at Maine Road (2-1).

Man City are unbeaten in their last 39 Premier League home games against promoted sides (W35 D4) since losing 0-2 against Reading in February 2007. The Citizens have scored 104 goals in these 39 games, while conceding just 25 in return.

West Bromwich Albion have never won a Premier League game on a Tuesday, in 27 previous attempts (D12 L15). It’s the most number of games a team has played on a specific day of the week without ever winning in the competition.

Manchester City have scored 17 goals in the Premier League after 11 games this season, 17 fewer than at this stage last season when they had 34. It’s only the third instance of a team scoring 17+ fewer goals after 11 games in consecutive seasons, with the other two also Man City (21 in 1994/95, 3 in 1995/96 & 39 in 2011/12, 20 in 2012/13).

After remaining unbeaten in his first two matches against Man City in 2015/16 with West Ham (W1 D1), Slaven Bilic has lost all three of his games against Pep Guardiola’s City by an aggregate score of 12-1, losing all three games in 2016/17 as Hammers boss.

Man City’s Kevin De Bruyne has been directly involved in 12 goals in his last eight Premier League starts against newly promoted teams (5 goals, 7 assists).

City will run the Baggies ragged in behind their full-backs and turn this one into a typical home win procession.
