Manchester City have no margin for error now in the Premier League title race and need a win when Brentford come calling tonight.
Monday's 3-3 draw with Everton has handed the advantage to Arsenal, who will become champions if they win their final three games.
But City can still finish top if the Gunners slip up at some point so Pep Guardiola will be looking to keep the pressure on by banking three points.
Manchester City vs Brentford
Both teams have plenty to play for as Brentford are in the thick of a fascinating multi-team scrap for the European places.
But the bookies can't see Manchester City slipping up again and the best price for the home win tonight is just 4/11 at StarSport.
Given Guardiola's defence looked so leaky in their last game, combining the City win with BTTS could pay off at 6/4 with Coral.

Jeremy Doku scored twice for City in that thriller with Everton and both were impressive shots from distance. The winger's confidence will be up so the 5/1 available at 10Bet for Doku to have over 1.5 shots on target tonight looks a bit overpriced.
Middlesbrough vs Southampton
Southampton were the form team towards the end of the EFL Championship season and they'll be looking to take that momentum into their play-off semi-final with Middlesbrough.
The only team to have beaten Saints since mid-January are Manchester City – and even they needed two late goals to seal a 2-1 win in the FA Cup semi-final.
Middlesbrough's form is much patchier, with just two wins in their last 10, so it could pay to back Southampton to qualify for the play-off final at 8/11 with Paddy Power before that price drops.
I wouldn't be surprised if Tonda Eckert's side won this first leg at the Riverside and that pays 11/5 with Bet365.
Last night's other Championship play-off semi was pretty dull as Hull and Millwall cancelled each other out. It might take a while for this one to catch fire so the half-time draw is another good option at 5/4 with William Hill.
Motherwell vs Heart of Midlothian
Hearts fans are dreaming of their first top-flight title since 1960 after Monday's epic Tynecastle win over Rangers kept them in pole position with just three games to go.
They could plant one hand on the trophy this weekend if they beat Motherwell tonight then Rangers come out on top in tomorrow's Old Firm derby.
That would leave them seven ahead of Gers and six clear of Celtic with two to play but getting three points on the board at Fir Park will be far from easy.
Motherwell showed how dangerous they are by beating Rangers 3-2 at Ibrox a fortnight ago and they've also drawn twice with the Jambos this season.
Even when Hearts beat them 3-1 at Tynecastle a few weeks ago, the Steelmen were looking good until two late goals got Derek McInnes' men over the line.
Jens Berthel Askou always sets his side up to attack so I fancy BTTS and over 2.5 goals for this one, which pays 6/5 at SkyBet.
Three of the top four scorers in the SPFL Premiership will be on the pitch tonight and combining shots on target for Tawanda Maswanhise, Lawrence Shankland and Claudio Braga pays 194/100 at BetMGM.

Nice one mate, appreciate that. 🤣It would just be typical if chelsea turn up today after all the garbage they been playing the past few months.
The way Chelsea are playing i agree but ask yourself why are Liverpool even money,surely they should be odds on,bookies aren’t a charity so something fishy going on,if it sounds to good to be true….hope it wins and the bookies get burnt so bol guys🫣🙏🫶👍
Surely Liverpool beat this dire Chelsea side , saying that I’m not that confident that I’d put any money on it lol
Pesky buggers them bookies,horrible little bunch of 💩s🤭

Bigwig well done on the Oslo game mate
took 6/4 last night thanks for that one
Also made a few quid on it
Glad you got on mate 👍
Their game on Thursday should have a good few goals and if it’s anything around the same 6/4 I’d be all over it.
Will stick this up just now again for tomorrow while the price is decent. Ullern are another team that I have pointed out are generally decent for goals, and Valerenga 2 are in the same boat, think this is pretty generous. Again if you don’t mind lesser Asian lines or want an overs for an acca wouldn’t put you off. Likely be nearer evens by kick off.
Valerenga 2 vs Ullern
Over 4.5mgs @ 6/4 (bet375)
Good luck 🤞
Good shooting,like you mentioned take it while you can because bookies can’t stand taking a beating and these games wont be listed soon👍
Usual early corners in the 3 EPL 3 pm ko
Over 1 corner 1st 15 min in each game 10/1 Hills
Over 1 corner 1st 10 min same games 3 x doubles 1 x treble
All 3 up pays 86/1 Bet365
Wonder what the odds were on early goals in the Brighton game?hotting up for places in Europe and Bournemouth will be glad Fulham are now level with the players on the pitch😬,all about nerves now
Got one of my doubles up WINNER
Close with my 10/1 treble but not close enough LOSER
Happy enough with that .
Don`t know the odds on early goals Damian but they must have been decent mate .
Think the Motherwell v Hearts game could be end to end although there’s also a chance it won’t be ofcourse 😂
Both teams to hit the woodwork 7/1. Over 3.5 goals 41/20. Singles and 22/1 Double. BetMGM 👍
Lecce v Juventus
Bremer header scored 16/1
Header on target 100/30
Motherwell v Hearts
Penalty awarded 3/1 Boyle sports
Not to be LOSER though Hearts might have had one
Very unlucky there cocker. It’s not like the spineless refs to stick by their on field decision after going to the screen. Happy days tho 👍
The macca own goal has trapped in the Motherwell game but didn’t see any value in it at 13/2 with MGM almost half the price of what it used to be. Hope the lads were on at bigger prices elsewhere in any case 👍
