PREVIEW
Bookmakers and layers bemoaning the recent run of winning favourites on the football are unlikely to gain any respite here.
It should be routine for City who have won their last 10 home fixtures.
Even allowing for Manuel Pellegrini making some changes they should easily overpower the Championship side who held them to a 1-1 draw at Ewood Park.
City will have one eye on their home clash against Cardiff on Saturday and will look to get the job done as clinically as possible here and will be boosted by the expected return of Sergio Aguero after his calf injury.
Rovers manager Gary Bowyer says his team will relish the role of the underdog.
“We’ve got everything to gain. No one outside of our dressing room gives us a prayer and they are situations we quite like.”
Despite the fighting talk ANY OTHER SCORE looks the angle in – even at a predictably short 2.82.
RECOMMENDATION: (1-10 points)
