The computer has spoken.
It is not the best of news regarding the Premier League champions visit to the London Stadium on Saturday.
That in itself is a bit of an oddity -a 3pm kick off on Saturday, whatever will they think of next !
The analysis of all available data, including recent performances and player stats, suggests the most likely outcome of this match is a (surprise, surprise )Manchester City win with a probability of 56.52%. A draw has a probability of 22.7% and a win for West Ham United has a probability of 20.77%.
The most likely scoreline for a Manchester City win is 0-1 with a probability of 10.51%. The next most likely score lines for that outcome are 1-2 (9.89%) and 0-2 (9.67%). The likeliest drawn scoreline is 1-1 (10.74%), while for a West Ham United win it is 1-0 (5.84%).
If you believe the the computer it looks like our first defeat of the season is looming.
But enough of all this nay-saying, we are playing well and we seem to be getting the rub of the green and at the final whistle…who knows?
