West Bromwich AlbionManchester City
Bouncing back from a defeat was always going to be the toughest test for Manchester City who have displayed real mental toughness in their last 3 games. With only 14 games to play, the Blues sit 12 points clear in the Premier League title race and are very much the team to catch with 65 points to their name. Sergio Aguero is the club’s top scorer this season with 23 goals so far in all competitions as City continue to fight on four fronts.
West Bromwich Albion
It has taken longer than expected but Alan Pardew finally looks to have implemented his survival blueprint on the Baggies. Unbeaten in their last 4 matches in all competitions, West Brom picked up only their third win of the season against Brighton and now only sit 3 points adrift in the relegation zone. Jay Rodriguez has scored 5 goals in his last 6 matches in all competitions and will be eager to add to his tally of 8 for the season.
