What to expect

We expect about 1.4 goals from Crystal Palace and 1.1 from Sunderland, so Crystal Palace come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 2.5 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

Our pick: Crystal Palace or Draw. This covers Crystal Palace or the draw, trading a shorter price for a wider safety net. A sensible way to back the lean without needing the exact result.

We put the chance of that landing at about 74 out of 100. There is no settled price to hold that up against yet, so treat the call on its own terms.

What the numbers say
✓Crystal Palace have won one of their last five.
✓Sunderland have won one of their last five.

Man City are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 2.4-0.4), and we make them about 89% to win. On this shape, taking them to come out on top looks the cleaner play than chasing a bigger price elsewhere.
