Pep Guardiola’s side can’t afford to slip up this weekend but some punters are smelling another upset
Crystal Palace are being backed to hand Manchester City consecutive Premier League defeats when the duo clash on Sunday morning (AEDT).
Prior to the international break, City were stunned 2-0 by Wolves at the Etihad to leave them eight points behind league leaders Liverpool.
Another loss against Palace would be a hammer blow for Pep Guardiola and though the Eagles are $11 outsiders, a number of Sportsbet punters have jumped on Roy Hodgson’s men.
Having won their past two games and also claimed victory over Manchester United earlier this season, Palace could well spring an upset on home soil.
Elsewhere, Everton are $1.91 favourites to beat West Ham and an upset in that match could spell the end of Marco SIlva’s reign in charge of the Toffees.
Currently 18th and in the relegation zone, Everton have made a shocking start to the season with Silva now the shortest-backed manager to be sacked next ($1.80).
The Toffees lost 1-0 to Burnley last time out but do host a Hammers side on Saturday that have failed to win their past three matches in all competitions.
In the round’s biggest match, Liverpool are receiving plenty of support to claim a routine win over the Red Devils.
With a Reds win valued at $1.67, an overwhelming 76 per cent of punters have picked that outcome despite the fact they must find a way to claim three points at Old Trafford with United unbeaten at home against Liverpool across their past five league meetings.
