Manchester City vs Coventry bet builder [27/4 odds]

Manchester City host newly promoted Coventry at the Etihad on Saturday with a perfect record after wins over Bournemouth and Crystal Palace.

The visitors are still waiting for their first Premier League point and their first goal, and I have built a three-leg bet builder around a quietly reliable defender, City’s surprising card count and a fixture that should produce goals.

Our Man City vs Coventry bet builder pays 27/4 with bet365.

Our Manchester City vs Coventry bet builder selections

Each of our selected sportsbooks offers bet builders as part of their welcome package, so new customers can back all three legs below with a bonus in hand.

Marc Guehi 1+ fouls committed

WHY: Guehi has committed exactly one foul in both of his league appearances since his summer move, so this line is two from two already.

He is expected to start again alongside Ruben Dias and at 10/11 with bet365 this is a big price for something he has done in every league game he has played this season.

KEY STAT: Guehi has committed exactly one foul in each of his two Premier League appearances this season.

Man City 2+ cards

WHY: City have picked up two or more cards in two of their three competitive matches this season, collecting two against Arsenal in the Community Shield and two more at Crystal Palace, with one against Bournemouth in between.

With a reshuffled midfield potentially featuring debutants, I can see them giving away a few cheap fouls again and bet365’s 9/4 on this leg is the standout single price.

KEY STAT: City have collected two or more cards in two of their three competitive matches this season.

Over 2.5 goals

WHY: Every City match this season has produced at least three goals, from the 3-0 Community Shield defeat to Arsenal to the 2-1 win over Bournemouth and the 4-1 romp at Palace.

Coventry have already conceded four in two league games and their cup tie finished 4-2, so goals follow both of these sides around.

KEY STAT: Over 2.5 goals has landed in five of the two sides’ six combined competitive matches this season.
