It's the biggest game of the Premier League season as wobbling Arsenal head to the Etihad this afternoon to take on Manchester City in a title six-pointer.
The Gunners looked out of sight a few weeks ago but City can close to gap on the leaders to just three points with a win on home turf.
Pep Guardiola's side also have a game in hand but the Catalan has admitted City need a win today to stand any chance of finishing top.
Manchester City vs Arsenal top betting tips
Mikel Arteta's side have hit a bump at the worst possible time, winning just one of their last five games in all competitions.
A 2-0 loss to City in the EFL Cup Final kicked off that slump in form so it's not a big surprise to see the home win at just 17/20 with Bet365.
Arsenal still boast one of the best defences in Europe though and I'd imagine they will set up to frustrate their title rivals.
That makes the half-time draw a decent option at 5/4 with Ladbrokes while backing most goals to come after the break pays 6/5 at 888Sport.
The Gunners won 11-2 on the corner count when they drew 1-1 with City at home in September but this time it should be Guardiola's side doing most of the attacking. So I like the evens on offer at SkyBet for City -1 in the corner handicap today.
Fancy backing a team with a goal advantage or underdog status? Take a look at our Masterclass on Handicap Betting to understand how the margins shift.
Everton vs Liverpool
Every Merseyside derby is massive for the fans but there's a lot riding on today's clash between Everton and Liverpool with both sides having European aspirations.
Arne Slot's side currently occupy the final Champions League qualification slot but a win for the Toffees would move them just two points behind the Reds.
David Moyes' men will also be desperate to win the first derby at their new stadium while Liverpool are coming off the back of a bruising Champions League loss to PSG.
That makes an Everton win tempting today at 21/10 with Bet365, especially aftet they thrashed Chelsea 3-0 in their last home game. Backing them to win either half is safer at 21/20 with 888Sport.
Foul bets always stand a good chance in a derby and combining over 0.5 fouls for midfield adversaries James Garner and Dominic Szoboszlai pays 125/100 at Coral.
Celtic vs St Mirren
Celtic are red-hot favourites to lift the Scottish Cup but have a tricky semi-final to negotiate today against St Mirren at Hampden.
The Buddies memorably beat the Hoops at the national stadium in the League Cup Final during Wilfried Nancy's disastrous reign as Parkhead gaffer.
St Mirren are as big as 17/4 with StarSports to knock Martin O'Neill's side out today and that looks a bit generous.
Although the Paisley side lost 1-0 at Celtic Park in the league last weekend, they were the better side for spells and will fancy their chances in the semi-final.
Celtic are toiling in front of goal at the moment and I'm expecting today's clash to be similar to last weekend. That makes under 2.5 goals at good option and it pays 31/20 at BetMGM.
The Buddies won seven corners in last week's game so the 21/20 on offer at William Hill for over 3.5 St Mirren corners today is well worth a look.

Forgot to tell you Celtic and overs was 20/21
Ouch,those bets cashout isn’t an option either😡🤬
Use Boylesports bet builder when doing BTTS and win as they seem to be one of the only bookies that offer the ‘2up’ market in a bet builder. The price is always a little shorter tho. Needless to say it would have landed if u placed it with them. Unlucky tho with St Mirren equalising so late on
