Best Tip: Man City to win

A Premier League victory in front of their own fans for Josep Guardiola i Sala's Man City team win in the win / draw / win market is what we're predicting. Stats suggest they have what it takes, and they should have too much for the opposition. The odds from the bookies are pointing in the same direction, and when that happens you've know you're not going against the market. A Man City win is the bet we'd suggest, but we wouldn't expect a whitewash.
