Easy then surely for punters as the away side are priced up at a very attractive 5/2 to leave The Etihad with all three points.

These big games are usually disappointingly dull despite Sky Sports frothing at the mouth over another “Super Saturday”.

My gut feeling is that Chelsea will have just a bit too much for a City side who look far from convincing at the back.

Mind you it’s a brave punter who listens to my guts considering Betting Spy’s current dire run.

But those intestines won’t be ignored so Chelsea have to be the call to continue their impressive unbeaten run at odd you don’t often see next to the Blues.

I’ve gone a whole six paragraphs without mentioning West Ham.

But there’s an elephant in the dressing room and its name is relegation.

Make no mistake the Hammers are in a survival battle now as a ridiculous summer buying strategy continues to haunt us.

A string of loan deals, attempted bargain bagging and last-minute panic buys has left the squad stuffed with very average players.

The manager continues to make some bizarre decisions while luckily the owners have kept quite lately about Champions League football in our new stadium.

Championship is looking more realistic unless they spend serious money on a proven right back and centre forward in the next transfer window.

I’ve had enough football disappointments for the moment so rather than watch West Ham inevitably crumble against Arsenal I’ll be at Twickenham enjoying England take on Australia courtesy of those lovely safety specialists JSP.

And if you think that’s a shameless plug in a bid to wrangle more sporting invites you’re dead right.
