Manchester City went into the international break on their worse run under Pep Guardiola but the bookies are banking on them roaring back to life at home to Tottenham Hotspur today.
Some people put a shock run of four successive defeats down to the uncertainty over Guardiola's future but the two-year contract extension he agreed on Thursday night has given City a massive boost.
Betano make the Premier League champions their 9/20 hot favourites for an Etihad win today and it's hard to disagree with Spurs looking so flaky.
Ange Postecoglou's side lost at home to Ipswich Town before the break and will need a vastly improved performance to stand any chance against Guardiola's men.

Manchester City vs Tottenham Hotspur top betting tips
Tottenham have been a bit of a bogey team for Manchester City in recent years but most of the defeats and draws have come in London. On their last nine visits to the Etihad, Spurs have come out on top just once so I'm going to combine a City win with BTTS at 11/8 with Betano.
The international break has given Kevin De Bruyne more time to build up his fitness and he should start here after three cameos off the bench. The Belgian is 6/4 at William Hill for an assist and that looks good value if he does get the nod from Guardiola.
Tottenham always have a go and there should be chances at both ends, with City's defence looking uncertain all season. Dominic Solanke is set to lead the line for Postecoglou's men and looks good value at evens with Bet365 just to have a shot on target.
Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest top betting tips
Some pundits have written Arsenal off for the title already and the Gunners desperately need to get three points on the board today when in-form Nottingham Forest visit the Etihad.
A horror run of just two wins in five games in all competitions has knocked Mikel Arteta's side out of their stride just when it looked like they were ready to go one step further in the title race.
But they now have a much kinder run of fixtures and will be looking to eat into Liverpool's nine-point lead, starting with the visit of Forest.
Only goal difference is keeping Nuno Espirito Santo's side below Arsenal in the table but Betano make them 15/2 outsiders at the Emirates.
I'd imagine Nottingham Forest will sit back and look to hit on the break so I'm going to bet on the corner count racking up for the Gunners. Backing Arsenal at -4 in the corner handicap pays 7/5 at Unibet while the same firm price over 7.5 home flag kicks at 13/10.
Martin Odegaard's return to fitness is a big boost for Arteta and the skipper is 5/2 at Bet365 to provide an assist.
Leicester City vs Chelsea top betting tips
The lunchtime game in the Premier League is a tasty one as Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca returns to his old stomping ground in Leicester.
The bookies reckon the Italian will come back to haunt his old club, with Betano making the Blues their 9/20 hot favourites.
I don't think the result is as big a foregone conclusion as the bookies are making out but Chelsea's superior quality up front should make the difference.
Noni Madueke's confidence will be up after impressing for England during the international break and he's a tempting 6/5 at Bet365 to either score or assist.
Foxes stopper Wout Faes can often be a bit rash so the Belgian could be worth backing for a card at 25/4 with Unibet.
Heart of Midlothian vs Celtic top betting tips
Celtic have been rampant in the SPFL Premiership so far this season but they are now heading into their toughest spell of the season, with trips to Tynecastle, Pittodrie and Ibrox on the horizon amid a busy Champions League schedule.
Taking on Hearts in the capital is a tricky one after the international break, especially with Celtic's influential Japanese trio only reporting back on Friday after long-haul flights.
I fancy BTTS in this one but it only pays 7/10 with Betano. Adding on over 2.5 goals boosts the odds to evens and that looks worth a punt.
This fixture is often fiery and we saw two penalties and a red card when Celtic lost 2-0 on their last visit to Tynecastle. Over 47.5 booking points looks good at 6/5 with Betfred.
For a long-odds option, combining cards for midfield adversaries Malachi Boateng and Callum McGregor pays 16/1 at Bet365.

Penultimate games in Norway today and wouldn’t put anyone off backing goals in all the games, either btts or over 2.5mgs. Corners should feature in most too. Only one team has confirmed relegation, between 7th place and a relegation spot at the minute there is 5 points, with Lillestrom slightly further adrift in 15th place and a draw today would see them relegated while a win would keep their slim hopes alive depending on other results. The top 6 all have something to play for with 2/3 teams in the mix, depending on each others results, for the title. Essentially every team playing needs points today to avoid a nervy last day for a huge portion of the league.
Good luck 🤞

Frankfurt & Dortmund excellent home scoring records. Stuttgart have stuttered but expect them to get back to winning ways at home against a VERY leaky Bochum on the road. H2H record supports this too.

Cruzeiro are poor travellers in their league and their games are light on goals

You didn’t post anything on my winners earlier today?
Again only commenting on a loser
And it was close with the polish nap and nb
What’s it got to do with you ?
And where’s this positivity you spout?
Why don’t you just stop commenting on my tips
Does anyone else notice it’s only the loser ones he comments on?
Pathetic weasel
Go away
Do you keep an eye on your bets?probably not otherwise you would see how out of control you are at times,as a concerned friend maybe keeping a profit/minus account on the amount of bets you do each day will help you see if your making a profit,let’s keep bashing the bookies bud rather than giving it back straight away 😉 🫶👍
Only realised you called me a weasel which isn’t nice considering this is a community based forum,let’s please keep it civil and all the best moving forward mate🫶👍
Now now children
You have no clue
What i do or don’t do
You don’t know me at all
You assume I’m out of control at times not at all
My bets are different to others so what
Some will like my style some won’t
As with everyone’s
But i don’t comment on anyone else’s when they lose
I’m just here offering my own tips
Just stop commenting on my posts
You’ve been told before by others so there is a trend in your behaviour
I’m only being a helpful friend,you said you have autism which you stated was the reason for your erratic gambling on matches before,anyway mate we are on your side👍
FALSE
i have autism yes
Not once have i stated that because of this at times my betting is erratic.
How dare you say that
My betting isn’t erratic that is just your opinion from a snippet of what you see on here
Keep your opinions to yourself
I have been betting for over 25 years
Do not talk about me at all , again.
