Sports Mole examines West Bromwich Albion's chances of taking all three points from their trip to Manchester City for the first time since 2003.

Manchester City will head into their home fixture against West Bromwich Albion eight points behind rivals Manchester United at the top of the Premier League table.

Roberto Mancini's side will realistically have to win all their remaining fixtures, starting with tomorrow's home encounter against the Baggies, if they are to have any chance of clinching the title.

They will have to do so without Mario Balotelli, who is suspended for the match at the Etihad Stadium.

However, Mancini is expected to have David Silva available following a knee injury, while Edin Dzeko could also earn a recall to the City attack.

Visiting West Brom brought an end to a four-match winless run on Saturday with a 3-0 victory over Blackburn Rovers.

Their form away from home this season has been mixed, winning six times from 16 outings.

West Brom last recorded a victory at City back in 2003.

Current form:

Man City: WLWDDL
West Brom: WLDLLW

Possible lineups:

Man City: Hart; Richards, Kompany, Lescott, Kolarov; Barry, Pizarro; Nasri, Silva, Johnson; Dzeko

West Brom: Foster; Jones, McAuley, Olsson, Ridgwell; Dorrans, Mulumbu, Scharner, Andrews, Brunt; Odemwingie

Sports Mole says: 2-1
