I’ve got two prop bets for this weekend’s Premier League action.
The pregame narrative: Manchester City and Crystal Palace kick off the action on Saturday morning, and I’m fading the Citizens. Later, look for Wolverhampton to stay hot when it hosts Tottenham.

Best Bet: Wolverhampton to win (+125)
Wolverhampton is finding its form under Vito Pereira, who was appointed in late December with the task of avoiding relegation.
And he’s done just that, moving the Wolves up to 17th in the table after going 5-1-2 in the last eight games. They are now 12 points clear of Ipswich Town, who sit in 18th.
This recent run doesn’t appear to be a fluke, with 11 goals and 11.4 xG in the last nine games, per FBRef.
Tottenham has a poor 5-1-9 away record and has just one win in its last five EPL fixtures (1-1-3), and that came against last-place Southampton at home.
I don’t trust Ange Postecoglou’s side to perform at the hostile Molineux Stadium. Especially with it playing a Europa League quarterfinal match on Thursday afternoon.
Key stat: Wolverhampton had just two wins in 16 games before Pereira joined the club. Since then, it has seven wins in 15 games.
Quick pick
Crystal Palace to win or tie (+100): Erling Haaland is out, adding to the laundry list of injuries (John Stones, Rodri, Nathan Ake) that Man City has dealt with this season.
The Citizens are on a slide right now and risk missing out on Champions League qualification.
They have just two wins in their last six games while scoring five goals.
Crystal Palace, meanwhile, has been red-hot, securing 13 points in its last six games (4-1-1) while scoring 11 goals.
Any side with Pep Guardiola at the helm will get the tactical edge, but I can see a clear path for Palace to pick up points here.
