Manchester City Vs. West Bromwich Albion: Early Danger From City

Manchester City aren't exactly laying siege to Boaz Myhill's goal, but they're definitely looking very dangerous whenever they break into the West Bromwich Albion half. City's attacking players are working together extremely well, and have carved open a number of opportunities, the most of which saw Carlos Tevez hitting the right post on a very nice counterattack. Yaya Toure and Gareth Barry have had decent opportunities as well.

The Baggies are being stifled by the home side's suffocating defence, but there's some promise of a goal thanks to City's gaffes - they nearly just conceded an own goal in hilarious fashion when Joe Hart left his goal to pick up a backpass only to see Kolo Toure punt it towards the area he'd just vacated, and then came very close to conceding a penalty to boot, WBA getting a free kick instead. If Albion do find themselves with a goal in this game, it'll come from this sort of opportunity (not this specific one, as Hart saved Chris Brunt's effort). They'll probably need more than one, though, as City's attacks are looking very, very dangerous.
