Manchester City currently is leading at the top of the table with 60pts in hand. There are only 2pts difference between the first two team now. Manchester United is at the second place now.
Manchester City have only one aim for this match, they need to win, such that they can extend their lead to 5pts away from Manchester United
There are not much injury problem in Manchester City squad. Carlos Tevez had apologized to the team and they could field him if the team’s manager, Roberto Mancini chose to.
Blackburn are currently fourth from bottom, they are in a very dangerous position of getting relegated as they are having the same point with Wolves, who is now lying third from the bottom and inside the relegation zone.
Steve Kean may choose to have the same team that beat Queens Park Rangers recently. Jason Lowe is suspended after receiving his 10th booking of the season. Gael Givet and David Dunn remains to be sidelined.
This is a match that needs not much consideration on which side to bet on. Manchester City is definitely my choice for tonight’s match. It is just how much goals and win by how big is the margin. My prediction is that Manchester City will win by at least 2 goals tonight.
