Manchester City v QPR:

Why City should win:

The team who have claimed the most points at home (52) face the side who have the fewest from their travels (11).  City to win by four goals (14/5 with StanJames).

Joe Hart has kept more clean sheets (17) than any other goalkeeper in the league for the second year running. City only team to score (10/11 WilliamHill).

Yaya Toure scored a late winner at Loftus Road in the reverse fixture and bagged both priceless goals at Newcastle last week. Toure to score last (13/2 PaddyPower).

Why QPR could spoil the party:

Man City have won none of their last three home games against QPR (D1 L2). Double chance bet: QPR-Draw (11/2 PaddyPower).

Mark Hughes has never lost away to City as a manager in the Premier League (W1 D4). Match to be drawn (19/2 BetVictor).

Djibril Cisse has scored five times in seven appearances for the Hoops. Cisse to be first goalscorer (18/1 Bet365).

Sunderland v Manchester United:

Why United should win:

The Red Devils have the best away record in the top flight (W12 D3 L3) and need two goals to become the fourth side in PL history to reach 90 goals in a season. United to win 2-0 (15/2 BetVictor).

The Black Cats haven’t scored in any of their last four league clashes with the reigning champions. United to be the only goalscorers (6/4 bet365).

Three of the last five goals scored by United against the Mackems have been own goals. First goal to be an own goal (25/1 Boylesports).

Why Sunderland could foil United:

In different competitions the hosts have beaten Arsenal, Liverpool and Man City at the Stadium of Light since Martin O’Neill took charge. Sunderland to win (13/2 Ladbrokes).

United have lost both of their last two away games 1-0 (Wigan and Man City). Sunderland to win 1-0 (20/1 Bluesquare).

The last time Man City won the title they went into the final game of the season level on points with their neighbours, who then lost to Sunderland. Nicklas Bendtner to score first goal (10/1 PaddyPower).
