Middlesbrough have averaged 3 match goals (3.16 at home) so far this season while Bolton are on 3.17 (3.16 away from home). They have a combined 70 of matches going over 2.5 goals and their respective styles of play are perfectly matched with Middlesbrough attacking at home and Bolton quick on the counter attack.

Swansea travel to the Etihad Stadium to take on the reigning champions. Man City had a poor loss against Ajax midweek and will be looking to bounce back with a significant win against Swansea who have conceded at least 2 goals in 5 of their last 6 league matches and will be under constant pressure from City who will be recalling Carlos Tevez to their starting line-up after he played 20 minutes against Ajax.
Man City score the majority of their goals in the second half and will be able to take advantage of a fatigued Swansea who are used to playing a possession game but will be on the back foot against City and will be out of their element.
Selection: Man City to score 2 or more second half goals
Bookmaker: Paddy Power
Odds: 11/10
Stake: £17
