It's all about the battle for Champions League places in the final few weeks of the Premier League season and Manchester City need to spark back to life against Crystal Palace today.
The fallen champions dropped down to sixth after last weekend's derby snorefest and can ill afford any more slip-ups.
But it won't be easy against a flying Eagles side who have gone seven games unbeaten and haven't lost on the road since mid-December.
Manchester City vs Crystal Palace top betting tips
Although Crystal Palace are in terrific form, the bookies don't fancy their chances today as BoyleSports make the Eagles 9/2 outsiders, with City 8/15 hot favourites.
Oliver Glasner's side look a bit overpriced at 6/4 in the double chance market but it's probably safer going for goal, with Palace last drawing a blank on Boxing Day.
BTTS pays just 8/13 with BoyleSports but combining that with over 2.5 goals boosts the odds to evens.
Omar Marmoush should continue to lead the line for City and the lively Egyptian looks good at the same price for anytime scorer.
Arsenal vs Brentford top betting tips
Arsenal will still be on a high after their incredible Champions League rout of Real Madrid and I'd imagine Mikel Arteta will rest a few players today ahead of the second leg at the Bernabeu.
Brentford at the visitors to the Emirates today and it would be understandable if the Gunners had something of a hangover after such an epic match.
BoyleSports still make them 6/10 favourites but it's hard to predict how this one will pan out.
Youngster Ethan Nwaneri should come back in for the Gunners after sitting on the bench in midweek and he's 13/10 at William Hill to score or assist.
Brentford drew 0-0 with Chelsea last weekend and this could be another tough watch so I like under 2.5 goals at evens with BoyleSports.
Nottingham Forest vs Everton top betting tips
Nottingham Forest's quest for a Champions League slot suffered a blow last weekend with a defeat at Aston Villa but they're still sitting pretty in third as they prepare to host Everton.
Nuno Espirito Santo's side usually get a lot of joy by sitting back and hitting teams on the counter but they now face a Toffees side who play in a similar style.
Leaders Liverpool found David Moyes' men a tough nut to crack in the derby last weekend so I'd be surprised if we saw a lot of goals in this one.
Under 2.5 goals pays just 4/6 with BoyleSports but the half-time draw offers more value at evens.
This one could be spicy and Forest's Ryan Yates looks good for a card at 3/1 while Everton midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure is 23/10 in the same market. Doubling them up pays 12/1.
Motherwell vs Heart of Midlothian top betting tips
It's the final game before the league split in the SPFL Premiership and three teams are slugging it out for the last slot in the top six.
Hearts currently sit sixth but they are just one point ahead of Motherwell as they head to Fir Park to face the Steelmen.
A draw may not be enough for the Jambos as they're also just a point ahead of St Mirren, who host Ross County.
That means both teams will be going for the win so this should be a good watch and combining BTTS with over 2.5 goals pays 6/5 with BoyleSports.
Hearts have a better team so I'd expect them to get the job and they're 4/5 favourites at BoyleSports. There's more value in the scorer markets and skipper Lawrence Shankland is 6/4 for a goal.

Anything from Scandanavia Bigwig?
Was nothing today worth taking, looking at the results says no bet was a win 😂
Think it’s probably helped the odds for tomorrow, some excellent value in my opinion in some of the games that have been listed & will stick them up tonight 👍
Brighton
Aston Villa
Arsenal
All to win at 2.11/1
Crystal Palace double chance at 5/4
Crystal Palace to win at 4/1
5 places up for grabs for the Champions League courtesy of Arsenal’s win against Real Madrid. Brighton explains themselves today, Villa cannot afford to slip up against Southampton, Arsenal should rotate with next weeks huge game against Real Madrid but should still win.
best of luck
Hope some got on Palace 2 goals ahead at 4/1.
Why do I have to log in at least 2/3 times before the posts are visible? It asks me to log in but then says I’m not logged in and/or that I’m already logged in and should refresh then says I’m not logged in. So bizarre. Although having said this, after the third attempt and with it finally working, seeing just two comments on a Saturday is disgusting.
Farewell MrFixits tips – it has been fantastic over the years.
So right Danny,one tip on Saturday, terrible!

The cup can be a minefield in these rounds as the lower division side always gets the home tie and tend to sit in and frustrate. Of the games listed today not many went overs in normal time. Hopefully these 2 buck that trend.
Strommen are scoring goals against most teams and their opponents here aren’t a great outfit. They have shipped 6 goals in 2 games in the bottom rung of division 3 while Strommen have scored 6 in two games against better opposition, not to mention they were demolishing decent opposition during pre season.
Asker have played at a lower level similar to Ready last season and quite often blew teams away, and they also beat their opponents tomorrow 4-1 just last month in pre-season. Always good for a goal while likely to concede.
Good luck 🤞
