Premier League predictions and best bets: Can Manchester City keep pace with Arsenal at Everton?

Our football betting expert Jones Knows offers his insight ahead of the two games on Bank Holiday Monday in the Premier League.

Morgan Gibbs-White to score anytime at 100/30 with Sky Bet looks too big to ignore. The Forest playmaker is finishing the season like a man on a mission. Seven goals in his last seven Premier League appearances tells you everything you need to know about the level he's operating at right now. He's playing with freedom, conviction and, most importantly, end product - something that hasn't always been associated with his game.

With an international summer on the horizon, Gibbs-White is making a very loud case to Thomas Tuchel for inclusion in England's World Cup squad. That kind of motivation can elevate a player's output and it's clear he's taking on more responsibility in the final third, getting into scoring positions and finding sublime quality at the right time.

Manchester City have built their title push on fast starts. They don't ease into games - they suffocate them from the off. The numbers are pretty striking: nine goals scored and none conceded in the opening 15 minutes of matches this season. City have been ahead at half-time 21 times in the league - six more than Arsenal, who are next on the list. Second again. That gap tells you how consistently they're getting their noses in front early and, crucially, staying there.

At 6/5 with Sky Bet for Man City to be winning at half-time and full-time, you're getting a price on a pattern that's been repeating all season.
