EPL : Westbrom Vs Manchester City Today At 3:00pm by luvola(m): 12:54pm On Oct 29, 2016 |
TEAM NEWS
West Brom defender Jonny Evans returns
after serving a one-match ban.
However, Claudio Yacob is suspended
after accumulating five yellow cards, while
Saido Berahino won't be considered due
to a lack of fitness.
Manchester City will assess midfielder
Kevin de Bruyne, who injured his calf
against Southampton last weekend.
Defender Pablo Zabaleta could be
involved after missing the last two games
with a foot injury, while captain Vincent
Kompany is available.
MOTD COMMENTATOR'S NOTES
Guy Mowbray: "Behind Pep Guardiola's
polite smile, there seems a growing
irritation with being asked if he's prepared
to change his style of play to get
Manchester City winning again.
"Not a chance. There's a quest for a kind
of footballing perfection at play here, and
at times they've been close to it already
this season - just ask Ronald Koeman.
"If the frustration of City fans is that it's
all a bit 'over done' at times, then their
Albion counterparts have contrary
concerns.
"Like Guardiola though, Tony Pulis - who
this week extended his contract until 2018
- is not for changing.
"Both have been successful enough in
their own way to stay true to their ideas.
"Both could really do with a win. In their
own way."

WHAT THE MANAGERS SAY
West Brom head coach Tony Pulis on his
new contract: "This is a time of great
change at Albion and when that happens
you need continuity.
"I want to build things here and play my
part in improving the club. You cannot do
these things overnight but I do believe,
step by step, we are making advances.
"I think the bulk of our fans understand
the process we embarked upon under the
shadow of relegation less than two years
ago."
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola on
City's six-match winless run: "For the
players, they don't deserve this. We are in
this period like it is but it will make us
stronger in the future, I am sure about
that.
"I need time to learn, to improve. I'm still
in that process. We have to learn as
quickly as possible."
LAWRO'S PREDICTION
I will be at this game for BBC Radio 5 live
and I am expecting the Baggies to make
life difficult for Manchester City, or at least
try to - but I think Pep Guardiola's six-
game winless run will end at the
Hawthorns.
