A huge Easter Weekend in the Premier League and the latest edition of Manchester City v Tottenham has a lot to live up to. The pair played out a seven-goal thriller on Wednesday as Spurs edged through their Champions League quarter-final tie on away goals and we’ve got tips for the big kick-off on Saturday lunchtime, as well as best bets for the rest of the day’s action…
City and Tottenham will do well to rouse themselves after the drama of Wednesday night and it could be a case of ‘after the Lord Mayor’s show’ on Saturday. It is difficult to envisage another glut of goals as both sets of players will be fatigued, but City are worthy favourites as they have won four of their last five against Spurs.
The Citizens are 4/5 to win in a match involving under 4.5 goals, and they can overcome Spurs, who have lost four away league games in a row.
Watch out for Raheem Sterling as the England star will be looking to make his mark after his late goal was ruled out by VAR on Wednesday. Sterling has scored five in his last five against Tottenham and he is 4/1 to be first goalscorer at The Etihad.

The later kick-off at 5.30pm sees Newcastle take on Southampton and the Magpies will be buoyant after last week’s win at Leicester all but secured their Premier League survival for another season.
The Magpies thumped Saints 3-0 at home last season and they are tipped to win a low scoring clash – Newcastle have only scored 19 goals at St James’ Park this term, while Southampton have scored a paltry 16 on the road!

Saturday’s Football Treble
The treble starts with a home win for Bournemouth, who bounced back to form with a 5-0 victory at Brighton last weekend, and they should be too good for a woeful Fulham side.
Augsburg came through a tough run of fixtures before winning 3-1 at Frankfurt and they are tipped to win their Bundesliga meeting with relegation-threatened Stuttgart, who have lost 12 of their 15 away games in all competitions this season.
Finally, Cagliari are a good bet for their Serie A encounter with Frosinone, who have lost nine of their 16 on the road this term.
| Saturday Football Treble | Odds | Bet | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tips: | Cagliari v Frosinone – Home Win | @ 19 / 20 | |
| Augsburg v Stuttgart – Home Win | @ 11 / 10 | ||
| Bournemouth v Fulham – Home Win | @ 4 / 6 | ||
