The read
Always freeThere's barely anything between these two. Manchester City (1st, 21 pts) and Brighton (3rd, 16 pts) meet in a fixture that could shape the Premier League table.
We lean towards Manchester City. The edge is there but not overwhelming, so a stake-back-on-a-draw option is worth a thought for an acca.

The singles we'd pick ourselves, with the research and the price behind each one
- The daily singles. Each one cleared three checks: the line landed in at least 9 of the two sides' last 12 games, a UK price of 1.35 or more, and our model's number clears what the price needs. Usually 0 to 5 a day, one unit each.
- The case for each, put together. The last 12 against what the price needs, who is missing, the head to head, and the best price at a UK bookmaker, in one place.
- The desk's card on every fixture it covers. Its verdict, every market graded, and the reason written down. And tomorrow's singles the night before.
