The best punts for the big week of betting ahead

Manchester City, Arsenal and AC Milan all have the chance to bounce back from recent setbacks with winnable home games in midweek - but we only have faith in one of them doing the business. Here's where you can find value in the next few days...

Tuesday
Manchester City v Bolton (live on Sky Sports 2, kick-off 7.45pm)
Bolton were one of many bottom-half clubs let down by City's shock loss to Hull at the weekend but have a chance to gain revenge at Eastlands. Owen Coyle's only away point as a top-flight boss came at Eastlands with Burnley but the Citizens have won seven straight home games and are [2.16] to lead after 45 and 90 minutes.

Wednesday
Arsenal v Liverpool (live on Sky Sports 2, kick-off 7.45pm)
The Gunners' are enduring a second post-FA Cup exit slump in three years, having taken just a point from three games since their reserves lost at Stoke. Revitalised visitors Liverpool are back in fourth and can move within two points of Arsenal with a win at the Emirates. A draw is more likely though and 1-1 looks good value at [7.2].

Friday
AC Milan v Udinese (live on ESPN, kick-off 7.45pm)
Our hunch that AC Milan would reach the Champions League quarter-finals has been called into question by a dreadful run of four games without a win that started with the resounding loss to Inter Milan. They even allowed struggling Udinese their first away victory of the campaign in the cup last month and the Zebrette can continue their recovery with another point at [3.95].
