There are two English Premier League matches taking place on Wednesday and Thursday and we suggest a bet in each of them.
Manchester City have wrapped up the Title race and this has prompted bookies to price up on next season where City are trading as 13/20 favourites to bag yet another Title.

WEDNESDAY
Brighton v Manchester City – Click here to bet
Brighton are 6th on the log with 3 wins and 2 defeats in their last 5 games. They were too strong for Southampton on the weekend beating them 3-1 at home, but prior to that had taken a 4-1 beating at Newcastle.
8 of the last 9 Brighton matches have delivered profits for over 2.5 goal backers and 3 of their last 4 games have had 4 goals or more in them.
What had looked like being a tight Title race ended up being an absolute cruise for Manchester City who can go 10 points clear of Arsenal here with a victory. They have only dropped 2 points in their last 15 matches winning their last 12 in a row and on Sunday they beat Chelsea 1-0 at home. Their last away game was a 3-0 victory over Everton and 4 of the last 5 Manchester City away matches have reached the 3 goal mark at least.
City beat Brighton 3-1 at home in the reverse fixture and last season they won this fixture 4-1.
With the Title wrapped up it is difficult to know exactly what Manchester City’s mind-set will be here and that has me leaning towards the goals markets as I think we will get a free flowing game and 4 goals or more in the match
Suggested Bet: Over 3.5 goals at 12/10

THURSDAY
Manchester United v Chelsea – Click here to bet
Manchester United are 4th on the log and could move to 3rd with a victory here. They bounced back from a wobbly patch to win back-to-back games at home to Wolves and away against Bournemouth. Both teams to score NO backers would have collected profits in Manchester United’s last 5 matches as would have under 2.5 goal backers.
Chelsea are 12th on the log with just 1 win in their last 10 games. They were beaten 1-0 on the road by Manchester City last time out and they have only won 5 of their 18 away matches this season.
These sides played to a 1-1 draw at Chelsea earlier in the season, their 3rd successive 1-1 draw in the League and their 5th successive draw in the EPL.
The draw is on offer at a tempting 33/10, but at the end of the day I am expecting that run of draws to be broken as the incentive of 3rd place gets Manchester United over the line and they are priced at 5/8 for the win. I actually like the correct score play here of Manchester United 2 Chelsea 0.
Suggested Bet: Correct Score 2-0 at 15/2
