We enter Monday with the return of Monday night football, and we are treated to Manchester City at home to Newcastle.
Manchester City are joint favourites to regain the title on the Ante post markets and so they should be, with the other threat being Chelsea. It appears that Manchester United will not be the team that won the title last year, seeing as Sir Alex retired and David Moyes will require time to settle.
Manchester city have the perfect game to get three points from, and that is at home! With the best defensive record in the league last season, they only conceded 34 goals and kept a huge 18 clean sheets. With their defensive record, City go into this at 1/3 shots, with 9/2 for the draw and Newcastle are 10/1 for the upset.
We have some OPTA facts as supplied by optasports.com
The bet we will take bet on City to win to nil at 11/10 with Paddy Power and BetVictor as a great bet!
Recommendations:
