Guardiola’s men meet Moyes’ charges at the Etihad Stadium and our tipster is backing plenty of action in a home win for the Premier League champions
Manchester City will be looking to put their off-field issues aside for 90 minutes when they host West Ham in the Premier League on Wednesday night.
UEFA banned the club from the next two editions of the Champions League last Friday as punishment for breaking Financial Fair Play rules between 2012 and 2016 and for failing to co-operate in the investigation.
This fixture was due to be played on February 9 but was postponed due to Storm Ciara, meaning neither of these sides have taken to the field in over two weeks.

Manchester City vs West Ham Latest Odds
Man City have won each of the last seven meetings between these sides and are just 1/8 (1.13) with bet365 to make it eight wins in a row.
The last time West Ham beat City was back in September 2015 and they can be backed at 16/1 (17.0) to claim just a fourth away win of the campaign.
A point would leave Pep Guardiola’s men 24 points behind runaway leaders Liverpool and would lift the Hammers out of the relegation zone, although bet365 make it 17/2 (9.50) that it is a draw at the Etihad Stadium.
Manchester City vs West Ham Team News
Oleksandr Zinchenko is suspended for the champions after being sent off at Tottenham last time out, so Benjamin Mendy should come back in. Raheem Sterling is injured.
Jarrod Bowen could make his West Ham debut after joining from Hull City in January, but David Moyes may opt for the same attackers that scored three goals against Brighton in their last game.
Manchester City vs West Ham Preview
The atmosphere at the Etihad Stadium will certainly be interesting following UEFA’s ruling and City’s players will surely be out to make a statement of their own.
Despite failing to score in their last game before their extended winter break, Guardiola’s men are still the top scorers in the Premier League and have netted 11 goals in their five games in 2020.
However, they have only kept one clean sheet in that span and West Ham could be able to take advantage of that considering Moyes’ men have scored nine goals in their six matches this calendar year.
