Sunday’s Premier League action kicks off in South Wales as Swansea City host Manchester City.

Garry Monk’s side have won their last three games on the spin to give themselves an outside chance of qualifying for Europe, and that run has seen them comfortably surpass their best ever Premier League points tally.

Defender Angel Rangel is doubtful after picking a groin injury in the win over Arsenal last time out, while Bafetimbi Gomis could make his first start in a month after coming off the bench at the Emirates.

Gomis is 9.0 (8/1) to get the first goal of the game with a variety of firms, while Gylfi Sigurdsson a 13.0 (12/1) chance with Paddy Power.

The home win is 5.0 (4/1) with a variety of firms, with the visitors on offer at 1.75 (3/4) with Bet 365, who have the draw at 4.2 (16/5).

Manuel Pellegrini’s men have won their past four games, and are in pole position to finish in second place behind champions Chelsea.

Victory here would see last season’s title winners move six points clear of Arsenal, who face Manchester United at Old Trafford later on Sunday afternoon, and also play their game in hand against Sunderland at home on Wednesday.

Samir Nasri is Pellegrini’s only injury concern, with the France international set to miss the final two games with a groin problem while both Vincent Kompany and Yaya Toure could be restored to City’s starting line-up.

Sergio Aguero, who is almost certain to land the Premier League’s Golden Boot after netting twenty-five in his thirty-one appearances so far, is favourite to open the scoring at 4.33 (10/3) with William Hill, with Toure a 9.5 (17/2) chance with Bet 365.

City won the reverse fixture at the Etihad Stadium back in November by two goals to one, coming from behind to secure victory after Wilfried Bony had given the Swans the lead while last season’s corresponding fixture ending in a 3-2 win for the Manchester side.

You can back an away win with both teams scoring in the match this time around at 3.25 (9/4) with Coral.
