EPL Saturday: United host Southampton, Man City travel to West Ham

“It important to demonstrate why we are here at Manchester City and the most important thing is to try to win the title this season”.

Aguero calmly sent Adrian the wrong way from the spot, before a miserable day for Jenkinson got worse as he came off with an injury, giving Sam Byram, signed this week from Leeds United, an earlier than expected debut.

Under the guidance of the energetic yet thoughtful Slaven Bilic, West Ham find themselves in sixth position and just four points adrift of the Champions League places.

Pellegrini realised he had to change something if City were to avoid defeat and he brought on Raheem Sterling for Navas and Kelechi Iheanacho for Delph.

West Ham nearly grabbed a dramatic victor right at the death, but Kouyate’s header from a deep Payet free-kick cannoned back off the crossbar.

Fourteen different players have scored a Premier League goal for West Ham this season – only Chelsea (also 14) have had as many individual goalscorers in the competition in 2015-16. “It was a hard game – I was not happy the way we conceded the second goal”.

One such occasion was at the end of last season, and when that was put to Pellegrini on Friday as he was asked how much of a problem Seluk’s comments were becoming, the manager said: “And what happened?”

Lawrenson has predicted West Ham 0-2 Manchester City.

“I hope we will go for the three points and that we will demonstrate why we’re involved in the title”, Pellegrini explained at this weekly press conference ahead of Saturday’s game at Upton Park.

If West Ham win, this would be the first league double they’ve won against Manchester City in 53 years.

After allowing visitors Crystal Palace a few early half-chances, City found their fluency as the game wore on and began to show glimpses of their best football, with David Silva emerging from perhaps his least influential period at the club to get back on the scoresheet. “But I hope tomorrow we are going to return as we did in the last game we played away, against Watford”.

“It’s logical because the money all the teams now have gives the smaller Premier League clubs opportunity to close the gap”.
