Manchester City looks bankers to win their home game against Newcastle today (5.30pm KO, Live on Sky Sports 1) and worth a wager on the handicap (-1) at the 3/4 on offer with BetVictor and 888sport.
The Cizizens have won just one of their last five league games and that has left them seven pints behind leaders Chelsea.
They know that they must win games like this to keep tabs on the leaders, and only three points will suffice.
The stats are certainly good as City haev triumphed in this fixtuire 14 times in 16 since Newcastle last won in 2005.
They also now have Yaya Toure back in the side, and new sigining Wilfried Bony is expected to start alongside Sergio Aguero in attack.
Put quite simply, they should blast Newcastle off the park and register a wide margin success and that makes backing them on the hanicap at 3/4 look cracking value compared to the 3/10 on offer in the outright market.
Newcastle have also failed to score in their last four Premier League games against City, so backing the home side to win to nil also appeals at 23/20 with BetVictor.
The aforementioned Yaya Toure has scored five goals in his last six league appearances against Newcastle, and that makes him look a decent punt at 15/8 with Paddy Power to net anytime.
