Wigan Athletic v Manchester City (1955 GMT, BBC One)
The Manchester City quadruple extravaganza rolls into Wigan on Monday night for an FA Cup fifth-round clash against the Sky Bet League One leaders.
City are certain to win the Premier League title, odds-on favourites to beat Arsenal and land the Carabao Cup next weekend, and assured of a place in the Champions League quarter-finals after winning 4-0 at Basel in the first leg of their round of 16 tie last week.
Things couldn't look any better for Pep Guardiola's side.
The bookies have City as short as 2/11 to defeat the Latics and I'm not going to shock you by going for the 22/1 upset.
There is though a way to show a little bit of support for the League One table-toppers.
City haven't been at their best against EFL opposition this season. Cardiff were dispatched 2-0 in the fourth round of the FA Cup but Wolves took them all the way to penalties in the Carabao Cup and Bristol City lost by just one goal in both of their outings against the Etihad Stadium outfit in the semi-finals of that competition.
That was a good effort from the Robins. They are the only side to avoid a defeat by more than one goal in City's previous 10 victories, although Guardiola's men have drawn with Burnley and lost to Liverpool during the time that run has taken place.
Bristol City centre-half Aden Flint netted in the Premier League leaders' 3-2 win at Ashton Gate and my attention is taken by a Wigan defender at massive odds in the first goalscorer betting.
Dan Burn has netted twice in Wigan's last six outings, including in the 3-0 win at home to Bournemouth in the FA Cup third-round replay success in January.
Wigan fell to a disappointing 2-0 defeat at home to Blackpool last week but Burn went as close as any Latics player did to netting when he headed a Max Power free-kick over the bar.
There's 80/1 available for Burn to score a famous opener against City and that price is big enough to take a small each-way interest.
I also want to get involved with a goal being scored early at the DW Stadium.
Wigan boss Paul Cook has promised "we're genuinely not going to sit back" and that will help lead to chances aplenty when the leaders of the top and third tier clash.
There has been a goal scored in the first 20 minutes of four of City's last five games and the opener in the 1-1 draw at Burnley was only just outside that period of time when Danilo netted in the 22nd minute at Turf Moor.
Goals have also been scored in the first 20 minutes of all of Wigan's previous four matches, including Will Grigg striking after seven minutes in the 2-0 win at home to West Ham in the second of the Latics' two wins over Premier League clubs in the FA Cup this season.
There's 11/4 available for the first goal to be netted before the end of the 10th minute and 10/3 for the opener to be scored between 11 and 20 minutes.
Split your stakes in both of those sections as everything points to an entertaining start to this game.
Prediction: Wigan 1-3 Manchester City (Sky Bet's odds: 10/1)
