Manchester City return to the Etihad Stadium looking to maintain their 100% record in the Premier League so far, they welcome newly-promoted Coventry City on Saturday afternoon.

Now, let’s take a closer look at some Premier League odds and betting angles for Saturday’s fixture:

Manchester City v Coventry City – Saturday, 3pm

Manchester City looked a little sluggish in their curtain‑raiser against Bournemouth despite taking all three points, but they followed that up with a far more convincing display on Friday night, running out emphatic 4–1 winners away at Crystal Palace.
Enzo Maresca will expect his side to keep that momentum going on Saturday afternoon, and history is firmly in City’s favour. They’re unbeaten in their last 30 Premier League games against newly promoted sides (W27), and a victory here would see them start a league campaign with three straight wins for the third time in four seasons.
It’s been a long time since these two sides met, a Premier League fixture back in the 2000/01 campaign, a season in which both clubs were relegated and City head into this one as the heavy odds‑on favourites with William Hill.

Coventry City’s return to the English top-flight has been a tough one so far, back-to-back defeats including last weekends clash against fellow newbies Hull City, a side that have been tipped by many to finish rock bottom of the Premier League.
Following Saturday’s defeat, it already feels like it could be a long season for Frank Lampard’s side, and another loss here would see the Sky Blues start a league campaign with three straight defeats without scoring for the first time in their history.
The worrying signs are there for Coventry. Lampard has won just four of his last 32 Premier League games as a manager (D8, L20), and only one of his last nineteen such encounters. The Sky Blues are huge outsiders at 12/1 with William Hill to pull off a shock at the Etihad.

This Acca Boost promotion is available to both online customers in the United Kingdom and Ireland using the William Hill website (williamhill.com – the “Website”) or William Hill iOS or Android Mobile app (together, the “Apps”) and UK retail customers in William Hill shops.
To qualify, place a Qualifying Acca on a Sports Betting Terminal or over the counter on Smart Hub SSBT in William Hill shops, or online via the Website or the App, during the Promotion Period.
A “Qualifying Acca” is:

4. On the Promotion Markets.
The “Promotion Markets” are:

No opt in required. If the requirements of a Qualifying Acca are met, the promotion will be applied automatically. If any acca contains any selection with odds of less than 1/5 (1.2), it will not be a Qualifying Acca.
Qualifying Acca wins (less the value of the original stake) will receive an “Acca Boost”, whereby winnings will be boosted by a variable percentage, dependent on the number of selections in the Qualifying Acca:

The increasing percentage of rewards in the Acca Boost reflects the relative risk of placing Qualifying Accas with a higher number of selections.
The following maximum Acca Boost amounts will be applied per Qualifying Acca:
1. For retail customers: £2,000
2. For online customers: £10,000.
There is no daily limit of Qualifying Accas.
In the case of void selections within a Qualifying Acca, the Acca Boost will still apply but the percentage applied will be calculated according to the final number of winning selections.
In the case of an Acca dropping to three selections or less, the acca will lose its Qualifying Acca status and Acca Boost will not apply.
Any Acca Boost on winnings will be applied as part of the standard bet settlement process.
Bets you place using free bets cannot be combined with the Acca Boost
Any acca that has been cashed out will not be eligible for an Acca Boost.
For retail customers, the promotion is not available on standard over the counter bets.
