West Ham vs Man City prediction and odds: Guardiola set to increase title lead during Mark Noble's farewell party

West Ham are ready to set the scene for Mark Noble's farewell party at the London Stadium but have the situation to face a Manchester City side with one-hand on the Premier League title. Guardiola's side will be looking to go six-points clear of their title rivals Liverpool who have just lifted the FA Cup but face the difficult task of facing a West Ham side searching for Europa League football.

The Irons are priced at 13/2 with Betfred while City are the favourites at 4/11 and a draw is 4/1. David Moyes' side are winless in 12 Premier League games against City with two draws and 10 defeats since winning 2-1 at the Etihad seven years ago.

The Hammers sit in the Europa Conference League place in the league table but have a game-in-hand over Manchester United, level on points with them and have a superior goal difference too. A win would be a big ask considering the recent history of this fixture but it would certainly put the Irons in pole position for Europa League football again having picked up just one win in their last five.
