Danny Higginbotham's best bets for this weekend
- Man City vs Burnley – City to score 2+ goals in the second half (4/9): “The deeper Burnley drop, the more narrow they will become. That will bring Leroy Sane and Raheem Sterling into the game”

- Spurs vs Liverpool – Mo Salah to score anytime (9/4): “He is the dangerman”
