Jamie Redknapp on Manuel Pellegrini's problems and Ravel Morrison's gift

Image: Pellegrini: has overseen an impressive derby win and disappointing away days

Manchester City have made an uncertain start under Manuel Pellegrini this season.

Advantage
West Ham will try to use their strength at set pieces to their advantage on Saturday, too. City can be vulnerable at free-kicks and corners and with Winston Reid and James Tomkins a real threat in the air, while the returning Carlton Cole can also have an impact if he comes on. However, I've got a feeling this could be the game where City's fortunes on the road turn around and they get their first away win in the Premier League this season. West Ham have done well to accumulate the points they have without Andy Carroll, whose injury has forced them to adapt their system, but City might just have too much quality for them this weekend. It won't be easy, but if City get that crucial first goal, West Ham will have to come forward and the visitors could exploit the space that creates. I'm going for a 3-1 win for Man City.
