Manchester City welcome Stoke to the Etihad tonight, looking to take all three points in a bid to close the gap on league leaders Chelsea and consolidate their pace in the top four.
Pep Guardiola's men are unsurprisingly the favourites going in to this one (2/9) and given their current form, it's hard to argue against them.
Stoke are huge underdogs at 12/1 and while they're sitting comfortably in the top half, they're poor away from the Britannia, losing four of their last five, conceding 14.

Man City are currently on a run of four straight wins in the league and six wins from seven at the Etihad (a 2-2 draw with Spurs the only blemish).
In each of the Sky Blue's last three home wins in the league the game has gone over 2.5 match goals and we like the look of this game following that trend. The home win and over 2.5 goals is 1/2 with William Hill.
Man City's last four on home turf have resulted in both teams scoring with three of those ending in victory. Both teams to score in this one and the Man City win is 17/10 with the same bookmaker.
In the goal scorer markets, while Sergio Aguero is the obvious choice to score anytime, at just 1/2 there's better value about.

Instead we'd rather plump for Leroy Sane to score anytime at 8/5. The German international is in fine form at the moment having scored three goals in three games.
Recommended bets:
Man City win & BTTS - 17/10
Leroy Sane to score anytime - 8/5
