Manchester City know the deal – 4 points from 2 games and they’ll be English Premier League champions for the 4th time in the last 5 seasons.
And they’ll also know that of the two games they’ve got left to play, it’s Sunday’s matchup away at West Ham which could pose the biggest difficulty.
City at West Ham is 1 of 7 EPL ties on Sunday and we’ve got a bet from it as part of a 4-game parlay to hopefully see you successfully through the slate. It pays +1449 odds with FanDuel Sportsbook.

Manchester City produced a soccer masterclass at Wolves on Wednesday evening, winning 5-1 and they could have scored twice as many goals.
Right now, Pep Guardiola’s City are in a different league to pretty much everyone, and that probably includes West Ham, 7th in the EPL standings but nowhere near City in terms of quality.
City have lost one league game since October, are currently on a 5-0 streak and 18 of their 28 wins have featured at least 3 goals. This should be number 19.
At the bottom of the EPL, it’s looking more and more like a straight shootout between Burnley and Leeds for the right to stay in the English Premier League.
Leeds have got 2 games left and will presume they’ve got to win at least one of them, either at Brentford next week or at home to Brighton.
And their problem is that Brighton are playing well at the moment — zipping the ball around, confident and without a care in the world. Their last 2 games have yielded a 3-0 win at Wolves and a 4-0 walloping of Manchester United. With Leeds under enormous pressure, expect them to struggle.
Okay, so let’s deal with the facts here.
The obvious thing about Wolves is that you shouldn’t expect too many goals whenever they play. Just 13 of their 36 EPL games have produced 3 goals or more.
As for Norwich, the relegated club hardly manages many shots, let alone goals. They are the only team in the top division who are producing under 10 shots per game and under 3 shots on target per game.
This will not be a good watch – but it begs a bet on the under.
Three wins from their last 6 games have lifted Everton out of the relegation zone – but it hasn’t turned them into a good team.
Everton, one of the biggest names in English soccer, are badly misfiring under manager Frank Lampard and they are still a long way from being trusted by bettors.
Indeed, their opponents on Sunday, Brentford, should not be taken lightly because they’ve performed wonders in their first-ever season of English Premier League soccer.
Brentford have won at the likes of Wolves, West Ham and Chelsea this season so won’t mind a road trip to Goodison Park.
