Our prediction — Asian handicap (-1,5) to Manchester City
The hosts will focus on their defenses and try to hold Man City to a draw, but we doubt they will succeed. However, the visitors have a difficult game against Atletico in the Champions League next week, so we don't expect them to crush the Clarets.
