Best Tip: Man City to win

A Premier League home win for Enzo Maresca's Man City team win in the win / draw / win market is our prediction. Statistics suggest they have what it takes, and they should be too strong for their opponents. The odds from the bookmakers suggest so too, and when that happens you've know you're not going against the market. A Man City win is our recommendation, but we wouldn't expect a whitewash.
