Sunday’s Premier League action kicks off at the Etihad Stadium where recently dethroned champions Manchester City face relegation threatened Queens Park Rangers.

Manuel Pellegrini’s side have won their last three matches, though their hopes of retaining the title were ended when Chelsea beat Crystal Palace last weekend to clinch their first championship in five years.

City have lost just two of their league games in played in front of their own fans this season, and three points here would see them remain in second place with two games left to play, though third place Arsenal do have a game in hand.

Captain Vincent Kompay and Yaya Toure are both expecting to feature after being passed fit, though Samir Nasri has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a groin problem.

Top scorer Sergio Aguero, who is leading the race for the Premier League’s Golden Boot, is favourite to open the scoring at 3.75 (11/4), with David Silva a 7.5 (13/2) chance with 888 Sport.

The home win is widely available at 1.22 (2/9), with the visitors as highly priced as the 15.0 (14/1) on offer from a number of firms. The draw is a 7.5 (13/2) shot with Bet 365.

The Hoops have won just twice in 2015, and go into this game on the back of their twenty-second league defeat of the season – last weekend’s loss at Liverpool and they may have already been relegated by the time they kick-off here.

Manager Chris Ramsey has a number of injury concerns with Eduardo Vargas and Alejandro Faurlin both out and Steven Caulker, Clint Hill, Bobby Zamora and Mauricio Isla all doubtful while Nedum Onuha is suspended and Rio Ferdinand remains on compassionate leave.

Charlie Austin is priced at 11.0 (10/1) to get the first goal of the game, while Matt Phillips is a 23.0 (22/1) chance with 888 Sport.

These two sides drew 2-2 when they met at Loftus Road back in November – the fifth time there has been four or more goals in this fixture in the last six clashes, and you can back over 3.5 to be scored here at 1.95 (19/20) with Bet Victor.
