MCI vs WBA Dream11 Tips for Premier League Manchester City vs West Bromwich Albion 16 December

MCI vs WBA Dream11: Manchester City will be looking to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they welcome a struggling West Bromwich Albion team to the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday night. One of the most forgettable Manchester derbies in many years saw Man City play out a lifeless 0-0 draw against bitter rivals Man Utd at Old Trafford over the weekend. With Pep Guardiola’s side seemingly happy to accept the draw after taking no risks in an attempt to win the game late on, they will expect nothing less than victory here at home to lowly West Brom. The Baggies sit 19th in the Premier League and their 2-1 defeat away at Newcastle last time out was a fifth defeat in their last six league games. A trip to the Etihad Stadium is a truly daunting prospect for Slaven Bilic’s men and whilst they will work hard for each other on the pitch.
