Corales Puntacana Tip: Kurt Kitayama

Pep's boys unravelled in both clashes with Nuno's team in 2019-20 and the main man is as big a threat as ever. Laporte's ongoing absence won't help City get off to a flyer.

Finished third over course and distance in August but trapped in a pocket as race developed and then forced to make run under a slow rail. Did well to finish as close as he did.

These heavyweights shared 8 goals less than two months ago. It's hard to see this one reverting to anything like caginess.

The former Liverpool striker struck 3 times against these opponents last season, and will be keen to open his account promptly for 2020-21.

United should have most of their stars available for selection in the end, whereas Palace remain heavily depleted. But the Londoners' defence rarely folds completely and a 1-0 or 2-0 home win looks most likely.

Hasn't been seen for 195-days but a massive improver over the winter on the all-weather clocked a big speed rating on last start. Has some turf form to his name and undervalued by the market.
