EPL: Micah Richards, Redknapp predict Man City vs West Ham clash
Micah Richards and Jamie Redknapp have backed Manchester City to win their fourth straight Premier League title.
They were speaking on Sky Sports after the champions beat Tottenham 2-0 on Tuesday night.
Erling Haaland scored twice, taking his goals tally to 27 for the season.
The result saw City go two points clear of Arsenal at the top of the table ahead of the final round of fixtures.
Richards and Redknapp both agree that Guardiola’s side would get the job done against West Ham, in what will be David Moyes’ last game as manager.
When asked whether West Ham could upset the champions, ex-City defender Richards replied: “No. That’s no disrespect to West Ham.
“I’ve been in that stadium on the last days – the [Ilkay] Gundogan moment, the QPR moment with [Sergio] Aguero, the fans… I just think Man City.
“I think the game will be difficult, I don’t think it will be a 2-0 or 3-0 because West Ham have got some very good players.
“But I think Man City will get the job done.”
Former Tottenham and Liverpool midfielder Redknapp added: “Arsenal have been incredible, but they just haven’t… a couple of moments haven’t gone their way, maybe the start. You always look back at ifs and buts.
“They’ve been so good, Arsenal, they’ve pushed them all the way but just don’t see, because of the history and the way they’ve done it before, I just don’t see Manchester City slipping up now.”
