Manchester City News and Form
Manchester City will be defending their 100% start to their home form this season on the weekend when they play host to Burnley. With four wins from four at the Etihad, things are shaping up well, the Citizens having netted thirteen goals in those four fixtures. Because this is a return after the international break, a comfortable Manchester City 2-0 correct score is at 13/2 odds* (betting odds taken on October 16th, 2018 at 6:33 pm). Manchester City have now won twenty of their last twenty-three (D2 L1) home games in the Premier League.
Raheem Sterling should be in a great mood after breaking his long drought for England in Monday’s win over Spain. Sterling is at 10/11 in the anytime goalscorer market* (betting odds taken on October 16th, 2018 at 6:33 pm). City have taken a clean sheet in each of their last four fixtures now in the Premier League so there will be favouritism on them banking one in this one. A Man City/Man City half-time/ full-time wager will also appeal. City haven’t conceded a second-half home goal this term.
Burnley News and Form
The Clarets got one point from their opening five league games, but were showing good signs of recovery before the international break with a W2 D1 record. That was a massive lift for them and they picked up seven goals in that burst of games. They are going into two testing fixtures now as they face Chelse straight after this duel with the Citizens. Because the Clarets may not see too much of the ball both teams NOT to score is at 1/2 odds* (betting odds taken on October 16th, 2018 at 6:33 pm).
Burnley are W1 D1 L2 on their travels this season, conceding six goals and scoring in half of them. They have only picked up the two clean sheets this season home and away combined. Burnley have been level at 0-0 at half time in three of their four away games this season but we prefer the option of Manchester City winning at half time. Overall, Manchester City to win to nil is at 8/15 odds* (betting odds taken on October 16th, 2018 at 6:33 pm).
