Can Crystal Palace spring an upset in what is a must-win for Manchester City? The Eagles are 11/1 to triumph at the Etihad tonight

Manchester City kept their Premier League title hopes alive in emphatic fashion over the weekend, with Pep Guardiola’s side cruising to a 3-0 victory over Brentford at the Etihad.

The result was vital given Arsenal also claimed all three points, with the league leaders edging past West Ham 1-0 in controversial circumstances. 

As things stand, City remain five points behind the Gunners, meaning victory in tonight’s game in hand would cut the gap to just two points and heap further pressure on Mikel Arteta’s side heading into the final two matchdays of the season.

Unsurprisingly, City come into the clash as overwhelming favourites. Erling Haaland and Co are priced at just 1/7 to secure another crucial win at the Etihad. 

Can Crystal Palace spring an upset against Man City? The Eagles are 11/1 to win away tonight

Crystal Palace, meanwhile, are available at 11/1 to pull off a major upset that would all but hand Arsenal their first league title in nearly 22 years, while the draw is priced at 7/1.

The reverse fixture also points firmly in City’s favour, with Haaland scoring twice in a dominant 3-0 win at Selhurst Park earlier this season.

Elsewhere, Sky Bet are offering a Featured Price Boost and four additional Price Boosts for tonight’s highly anticipated encounter. 

Firstly, the Featured Price Boost is 1/1 and requires Manchester City to win and register the most shots on target in each half.

Meanwhile, Ismaila Sarr is priced at 10/11 to have one or more shots on target, while Jeremy Doku is available at 7/4 to score 1+ goals. 

Marc Guehi is 5/1 to win three or more fouls, and Manchester City are priced at 6/1 to register 12 or more shots on target.

The selections are backed up by recent form. Sarr has recorded eight shots on target across his last four appearances in all competitions, while Doku has scored four goals in his last three outings. 

Guehi, meanwhile, won three fouls in his previous match and will now face his former club for the first time since leaving for Manchester City.
