SlipsTips shares a selection ahead of Manchester City’s clash with Leicester in the Premier League on Wednesday night.
Manchester City vs Leicester (Wednesday, 19:45)
Manchester City will lock horns with Leicester City in the Premier League at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday night.
After booking an FA Cup semi-final spot thanks to a 2-1 win over Bournemouth on Sunday, Pep Guardiola’s side will be looking to boost their chances of securing a top four finish in the Premier League table.
As for Leicester, they appear doomed to relegation back to the English Championship, as they are nine points from safety with nine games to go.
Unsurprisingly, Man City are heavy odds-on favourites here, however, I'm happier focussing on an alternative angle of attack in the anytime goalscorer market.
Omar Marmoush has been priced up at 10/11 (UniBet) for an anytime strike on Wednesday night and that looks well worth supporting.
With Erling Haaland facing a spell on the sidelines with an ankle injury, the aforementioned Marmoush is expected to be deployed in a more central role in the coming weeks.
The Egyptian forward has put in a string of eye-catching displays since making the move to Manchester in January, most recently bagging the winning goal at Bournemouth last time out.
That means Marmoush has now made the net bulge five times across his 11 appearances for Man City in all competitions.
It’s also worth noting that the 26-year-old hit a hat-trick in City’s Premier League home game with Newcastle, not to mention he also notched against Brighton at the Etihad before the international break.
That strike rate doesn't bode well for a Leicester City side that have been leaking goals at an alarming rate all season.
In fact, only bottom club Southampton (70) have conceded more goals than the relegation-threatened Foxes (65) at this stage of the season.
With that in mind, backing Marmoush to make his mark on Wednesday night looks well worth snapping up at a shade under even-money.
