Man City try and keep Man United and Liverpool in sight, while Tottenham face Fulham instead of Villa – but what should football spread betting punters keep an eye on? It’s the Sports Spread Bets of the Day!

How many goals will Man City beat Brighton by?
There’s a reason why Man City are favourites for the title – Spreadex has them odds on at 8/11 with a Season Points spread of 81.5-83 – despite sitting in 6th.

They have 2 games in hand over Liverpool and United – win both of those and they zoom past the former while sitting 1 point behind the latter. They have the best defence in the league, conceding a mere 13 goals. And they haven’t lost a game since November 28th.

Brighton – who City face at 6pm on BT Sport 1 – can’t really compare. They’re 3 points above the relegation zone, but with 2 more games played than Fulham in 18th, while only 4 teams have conceded more than their 28 goals. They also haven’t won a game since November 21st.

In terms of Wednesday’s result, the question seems less will Man City win, and more by how much? Spreadex is offering a chunky Man City/Brighton Goal Supremacy spread of 2-2.2 – that means the hosts need to win by 3 goals clean if you were to buy at that price – alongside a Total Goals spread of 3.15-3.35.

What are the odds on Phil Foden scoring against Brighton? With 7 goals in all competitions – the same as the club’s joint top scorers Raheem Sterling and Ferran Torres – the 20-year old is only at a PGM spread of 20-23.

Ahead of him are Torres at 22-25, Riyad Mahrez at 23-26, Kevin de Bruyne at 26-29, Sterling at 31-34 and Sergio Aguero at 33-36. That’s 5 extra reasons for Brighton to be worried at least.

What are the odds on Son Heung-min scoring against Fulham?
In a change to scheduled programming, Tottenham are hosting Fulham instead of travelling to Aston Villa, at 8.15pm on Sky Sports Premier League.

Spurs are tentatively out the other side of a wobble that has seen them fall from 1st to 5th. They started 2021 by beating Leeds 3-0, before hammering Marine 5-0 in the FA Cup.

Now they can potentially retake 3rd place if beat Fulham (and hope City don’t annihilate Brighton).

The Cottagers, on the other hand, could well climb out of the relegation zone – though that would, in part, require Brighton to get annihilated by City.

What are the best bets for Tottenham v Fulham? Spreadex is anticipating a fairly easy win for the hosts, at a Tottenham/Fulham Goal Supremacy spread of 0.95-1.15, with a Total Goals spread of 2.7-2.9, and a Total Goal Minutes spread of 139-149. It is worth pointing out, however, that Fulham have managed to draw their last 4 games in a row, including ties against Liverpool and Southampton.

Looking to keep up with Mohamed Salah – he is on 12 league goals to the Egyptian’s 13 – Son Heung-min is at a PGM spread of 23-26, an SMM spread of 36-42, and a fixed odds price of 13/10 to score any time.

That leaves him some ways behind Harry Kane, whose 10 league goals put him at 35-38, 57-67 and 4/5 respectively.
