We’re Not Really Here

If you are after a more City-centric view to proceedings, then our very own We’re Not Really Here matchday show could well be the thing for you.

With expert analysis before the match, at half time and following the full time whistle for half an hour, the show is available to watch on all digital platforms.

We’re Not Really Here will also have player reaction and, time permitting, the post match thoughts of Pep Guardiola.

Tuesday’s show will kick-off at 7pm (UK), with an hour of build-up, interviews and chat leading up to the match.

Form Guide

Pep Guardiola’s men sit ninth in the Premier League table following Saturday’s 0-0 draw away to Manchester United.

However, we are currently on a six-match unbeaten streak in all competitions and, during that run, have not conceded a single goal, which is a club record.

Our opponents sit 19th in the Premier League table, but know a victory at the Etihad would haul them out of the relegation zone.

The Baggies have lost their last two after picking up their first win of the season over rock bottom Sheffield United at the end of November.

Last Meeting

Pep Guardiola’s men extended their lead at the top of the Premier League table to 15 points with a 3-0 win over West Brom back in January 2018.

Fernandinho’s first half strike after an incisive through ball from Kevin De Bruyne put us ahead at the break, before the Belgian got in on the act himself with around 20 minutes to go and Sergio Aguero rounded off proceedings just before stoppage time.

Significantly, this game was particularly memorable for Aymeric Laporte, with our French centre-half making his Manchester City debut having made the switch from Athletic Bilbao.
