Nottingham Forest take on Manchester City on Saturday evening, with the visitors aiming to keep up with Arsenal at the top of the Premier League.
City – second-favourites in the outright Premier League betting – could have fallen six points behind the Gunners by the time this one kicks off, having lost both of their last two league games.
Forest, meanwhile, really need a win, with the pressure growing on Oliver Glasner.
Here are our football tips for the 5.30pm kick-off, producing a 22/1 Bet Builder.
Nottingham Forest v Manchester City betting tips
Manchester City to win 7/10
Erling Haaland to score 8/13
Murillo to take 2+ shots 13/5
Jeremy Doku to take 3+ shots 21/10
Manchester City to win
Despite a couple of league defeats on the bounce, City’s performances remain good.
They could easily have taken more from Aston Villa, deserved to beat Brighton in a game they lost 1-0, and created loads in the 3-2 win at RB Leipzig on Wednesday.
A similar performance level should do the trick against a Forest side that has lost four of its last five games.
The home support is beginning to turn on Glasner and there is the potential for this to get ugly.
Erling Haaland to score
This one doesn’t need much explanation.
Haaland has scored 14 goals in his last 11 games, taking four shots at an xG of 0.47 in his only failure in that Brighton game.
Forest have only kept one clean sheet all season and Haaland should be licking his lips.
Murillo to take 2+ shots
We can get a lovely price on Murillo, who is one of the most adventurous centre-backs in the league.
The Brazilian has taken two or more shots in four of his last five games, including three at home to Arsenal last month and four at Crystal Palace.
City do look vulnerable defensively – and if Forest have their moments, set-pieces can be a great source of ammunition for their centre-back.
Jeremy Duku to take 3+ shots
You always feel in the game when backing Doku for shots, such is the way he cuts in from the left-hand side.
Indeed the winger has had three efforts in both of his last two league outings and took another shot in 26 minutes off the bench at Leipzig in midweek.
In this form, another three attempts is certainly not beyond him.
Nottingham Forest v Manchester City odds
City are the much more in-form of these two sides and can intensify the heat on Glasner with a win.
