IT'S Bank Holiday Monday but no rest for Man City's treble chasers as they aim to take a giant step towards the title.
Liverpool kept the pressure on with their thrilling 3-2 win at Newcastle on Saturday and next to challenge the champions are Leicester.
Foxes gaffer Brendan Rodgers is possibly Liverpool's last hope of overhauling City and they'll be backing their former boss to somehow come up with a result.
For me it won't happen and while goals could be on the menu I reckon City will win by at least two with 3-1 having a nice feel to it. Prices on the home are of course short and best bet could be both to score at around evens.
City have won 12 league matches in a row, scoring 27 and conceding just three. But Leicester will pose a threat with Jamie Vardy transformed under Rodgers and Youri Tielemans looking a class act.
As we saw at Celtic in big European matches Rodgers still likes to attack and this should lead to plenty of goals with his side having plenty of pace on the counter.
For a Super Single I'm taking Vardy to score at 14-5 with Marathonbet – he is 12-1 to net first – and on a double I'm on over 2.5 match goals at the Etihad and Cologne draw no bet at Greuther Furth in Bundesliga 2.
It looked like Cologne and Hamburg would run away with the two promotion places but both have slipped up in recent weeks. Cologne are almost there now and need a point at Furth to clinch a return to the top flight and almost certainly the title.
After a run of two defeats and two draws they panicked and sacked Markus Anfang so Andre Pawlak will make his dugout debut tonight as they try to get over the line. Furth are just about safe from the drop but need a point to guarantee safety and while Cologne should win I'm playing safer with draw no bet.
The double pays evens but if you want a better price both to score at City and Cologne to win pays just under 3-1.
After his 6-4 winner on the members bet yesterday Scott Allot has another offering from the Etihad. And SlipsTips has also posted a Man City vs Leicester preview.
It was a poor day for me on Sunday with Hibs not scoring beating the Super Single – and what a great save it was from Allan McGregor right at the end before the red mist descended and he was sent off for a flying kick at Marc McNulty.
My three accas all lost and after a great April when I was nearly 50 points it's been a poor start to May and I'll be looking to improve the stats this week.
Had a busy night at the Record last night so not been up to date with all the winners although I see Sean landed a cracking fivefold so well done to him and everyone else who profited.
Not much else to look at on Monday but it's Milan v Bologna in Serie A and some other lower-profile matches. I'll try to put up a single or double around lunchtime.

Man City v Leicester City
Over 3.5 goals at 4/5*****(NAP)
Over 4.5 goals at 7/4****
Over 5.5 goals at 7/2
Both teams come into this game well rested having not played for 8 days and that’s not always a good thing as momentum can be lost.Leicester City are a dangerous opponent especially with the likes of Vardy and his pace.I’m with mr f here i can’t see Man City losing but fingers crossed Leicester can grab a draw,they certainly have the players to do so,it’s all down to City’s nerves.
Correct score 3-3
Vincent Kompany to be sent off at 40/1
Best of luck
It’s the hope that kills ye macca! GL
Leicester still have a chance of making Europe,you never know.

Nearly the whole football worlds focus tonight will be in Manchester, mine will be on Qatar which means only 1 thing- Al Sadd are in action again. This time it’s the AFC champions league, so I’m not expecting as much as the goal laden affairs of their domestic games but I do expect at least 3 with both sides contributing. A win sees them safely thru with a game to spare. A few selections to consider;

Hi Sean , Really like your goal tips, but just a query about today’s tip.
W/Hill’s are offering 11/4 for Al ain to score over 1.5 team goals against Al Hilal in the AFC Champions League, kicking off at 18:00 , just wondering if this is the same team as you have tipped. The treble you have highlighted comes in at a tasty 5.5/1
Apologies williegee, it’s a typo. It’s the home side al hilal I’m on. It is of course al ain’t they play. Sorry for any confusion anyone
Man City v Leicester btts & overs 53/50 Marathon Bet if Kompany plays I fancy him to struggle against Vardys pace 10/3 for him to be carded Skybet
Goal short in Iceland (again) – finished 1-1 👎
Man City vs. Leicester:
Like Mr F and Macca, goals seem the natural way here with City ultimately prevailing.
I quietly reckon Leicester will have a very good campaign next season if Rodgers can be coy and hold onto his top players and I’d be very surprised if City shut them out for 90 minutes tonight!

Salah & Firmino out v Barca the mora, 15/8 for Barca win looks too big
Dembele out for Barca also.
Coutinho will play instead of Dembele – not a bad player to have up your sleeve.
Ceetainly a big loss alves,Shaq and Origi will more than likely replace them.
Both Being saved for next weekend.
Looks like the euro game has been written off.
Might be a good decision as I got a feeling Leicester will draw tonight.
If City do draw tonight or lose,you can be certain Klopp will rest players,whilst it’s only 0-3 though they will give it a go,wether Coutihno plays or not he will get a bad reception as will Luis Suarez after his celebrations.
St Johnstone playing 8 first team players
They were backed out to 30/1 but are now still a massive 12/1
Don’t think i can touch the Game now although I haven’t seen the Celtic line up yet
Will wait to see news before deciding on the both game
As im writing this the Celtic v St Johnstone Markets have been removed 😩
Back up now Greg. Saints 7/1
Yeah they were 30/1 at one point – seen both teams now – we are 11/2 now
3.5 treble of celtic/rangers/sint truidense reserves just over 4/1 royal panda.

What score did the Celtic / Rangers reserve games end up please anyone
Just found the results. Well done on the over 3.5 double Gregg. What price was it??
Fairly short I’d imagine. I put over 4.5 mgs in the Celtic game and rangers win/o2.5mgs in a 5fold and they were 4/5 and 1/3 respectively
was just over 2/1 for the double, as I wrote earlier I added ST Belgian reserve game to make it just over 4/1
Rangers won 3-1 while Celtic won 3-2
Ranger Reserves win the league on goal difference
Cheers fella – Over 3.5 double was 11/10
Sad to see the end of the season in this league, roll on August haha

Liverpool have had a great season even if they end up with no trophies.
You’ll get a nice price on both going through next season unbeaten but with no managerial changes it will be another 1-2.
