Prem Preview (Man City vs West Brom)

Man City Boss Stuart Pearce will be disappointed at losing their best player Shaun Wright Phillips to Chelsea, but ever since Pearce was installed to replace Keegan last year, he transformed City and but for Robbie Fowler's penalty miss against Middlesbrough, that would have been secured. The fans are unsure about Vassel and Cole, who have been brought in to bolster City's strike force.

West Brom performed the greatest of all escapes last season, and Bryan Robson will be hoping his new signings ensure they do not have to endure a final day scrap like they did last season. This is a difficult game to predict, but with more consistency installed in City since Pearce's arrival, a City opening day win should be firmly on the cards.

My Tip: Man City 2 West Brom 0 (Expect City to find their feet an impress their fans on opening day)
