Match preview
Roberto Mancini's English champions, meanwhile, seem to be improving, albeit slowly and hesitantly, and seem poised to capture the kind of form that saw them dominate the opening half of last season. The disappointing 2-3 defeat to Real Madrid (Champions League) and 2-4 loss to Aston Villa (League Cup) aside, City have taken more points from their games this season than from the corresponding fixtures last year, and the comfortable 3-0 dismissal of Sunderland before the international break was a good sign. Manchester City travel to The Hawthorns to take on the Baggies in Premier League play. The Blues have achieved success recently against West Bromwich behind goalkeeper Joe Hart's four match clean sheet streak. This fixture, however, could play out differently as the Baggies have played football that caught the eye of Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini according to Daily Mail. Both clubs are near the top of the early-season table as West Bromwich has been a pleasant surprise early in league play. Steve Clarke's squad has taken four of its seven matches in 2012 while netting a goal in all matches but one against Fulham Where: The Hawthorns, West Bromwich, England When: Saturday, October 20, 10 a.m. EST TV/Live Stream: Fox Soccer Plus
West Bromwich: Continue Hot Streak at Home Manchester City does present a massive challenge for West Brom and the Baggies are entering a definitive 13-match stretch and is still waiting on production from transfer Markus Rosenberg writes Chris Lepkowski of Birmingham Mail. Midfielder Youssouf Mulumbu will likely not play as he returns from international action points out John Ley of The Daily Telegraph.
Manchester City: Do Not Rely on Previous Successes Each match brings a new flavor, and the Premier League Champions have the aforementioned run of great success against West Brom. The injury bug has bitten the Blues as well as "midfield magician" David Silva, who will be out of commission for at least the next two matches.
