Man City v Brentford

BT Sport 2, 7.45pm

Manchester City have been dominant in the Premier League at home this season, winning nine of their 11 matches, and should record a comfortable success over Brentford, who are in danger of being nudged closer to the drop zone.

Best bet
Man City to win and over 3.5 goals

Norwich v Crystal Palace

BT Sport ESPN, 7.45pm

Norwich have taken great strides in their Premier League survival mission, winning each of their last two league contests, and they could be worth chancing in the draw no bet market as they welcome a poor-travelling Crystal Palace outfit to Carrow Road.

Norwich draw no bet

Tottenham v Southampton

BT Sport 3, 7.45pm

Best bet
Tottenham to win & both teams to score

Aston Villa v Leeds

BT Sport 1, 8pm

Aston Villa won away to Everton last time out, meaning they have taken 16 points from ten games under Steven Gerrard, and they can justify favouritism against Leeds, who are still missing a handful of key players.

Aston Villa

Bet of the day

Milan to beat Lazio, Premier Sports 2, 8pm

Victory over rivals Inter at the weekend should have done Milan's confidence the world of good and they can progress to the last four of the Coppa Italia with victory over Lazio in the quarter-finals.

Assist bet of the day

Man City v Brentford

Wing-back Joao Cancelo should have plenty of space to exploit against Brentford's back three at the Etihad Stadium and looks a decent selection at 2-1 with Paddy Power to register his sixth league assist of the season.

Best bet
Joao Cancelo to assist at anytime

Stat of the day

Norwich v Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace have won only one of their ten away Premier League games this season.
