Man City cannot be opposed in their fifth round FA Cup clash against Leeds at the Etihad today (2pm KO, Live on ESPN) and look worth a wager at 11/10 with Paddy Power to win to nil.
The game will be the sixth occasion that the two sides have met in the competition and Leeds currently lead the head-to-head with three wins to two.
However none of the last four matches between the two sides in all competitions have ended in an away win.
The Premier League Champions have won six of their last nine in all competitions, and despite the fact that they are without a win in three (D2 L1) they are expected to make their class tell and prove far too strong for Neil Warnock’s men who have lost five of their last seven on the road.
Backing them in the outright market at 2/9 makes little appeal though, whereas punting them to win and keep a clean sheet does at odds against as City have conceded just two goals in their last five home games in all competitions – keeping four clean sheets in the process.
In the correct score market I like the look of a 3-0 win for City and that is an 8/1 chance with BetVictor.
