Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson believes Manchester City will secure their fourth consecutive league title when they face West Ham on Sunday. Merson expects City to clinch victory if they stay composed and score an early goal, following their hard-fought win against Tottenham midweek. He predicts a 2-0 win for City, which would ensure they finish ahead of title rivals Arsenal.
City will be without Ederson for the West Ham game and the FA Cup final after the Brazilian goalkeeper fractured his eye socket against Spurs. However, Guardiola has expressed confidence in Ederson’s replacement, Stefan Ortega, describing him as one of the best keepers he has seen. Despite the injury setback, City remain heavy favorites to win the title according to bookmakers, with the game at the Etihad and West Ham having little to play for.
While nerves may come into play on the final day of the season, Merson believes City’s experience and quality should see them through. With the odds in their favor and West Ham lacking motivation, City are expected to come out on top and secure another Premier League title. Guardiola’s side will look to finish the season on a high note following a successful campaign.
