Man City v Liverpool

Manchester City vs Liverpool Preview

Manchester City produced an emphatic response to their recent 5-1 mauling at the hands of Arsenal last weekend in the Premier League when The Citizens registered a comprehensive victory of their own by way of a 4-0 rout over Newcastle United at the Etihad Stadium, so Pep Guardiola's side will be looking for more of the same on Sunday afternoon.

As for Liverpool, The Reds were held to a somewhat frustrating 2-2 draw away from home at Aston Villa in midweek but nevertheless that point has now given Liverpool an eight-point lead over second placed Arsenal heading into this weekend's English top flight action.

Manchester City currently occupy fourth place in the Premier League table following that resounding win against The Magpies but the hosts were bundled out of the Champions League during the week at the play-off stage by Real Madrid as Pep's side were unable to even make it into the round of last 16 in this season's competition.

The focus will therefore turn to City nailing down a Champions League spot in this season's Premier League campaign and having produced more encouraging results in recent times on the domestic front, the hosts stand a chance of getting something out of this upcoming clash.

Manchester City have suffered just one loss in their last eight games and goals also look likely here as five of these previous eight games have also produced goals for both teams and Over 2.5 goals in total.

Liverpool edged further away from second placed Arsenal with a point in midweek thanks to a 2-2 draw at Aston Villa which in turn extended Arne Slot's side's unbeaten run in the Premier League to a staggering 22 games overall.

This weekend may be Arsenal's best chance of reducing this deficit as Liverpool have to travel to Manchester City on Sunday afternoon but having put together a solid-looking 16-game unbeaten run on the road, The Reds will also be confident that they can gain a result here at the Etihad Stadium.

Even more impressive is the fact that Liverpool have not only scored in each of these previous 16 away games but the merseyside visitors have also scored two goals or more in 14 out of these 16 outings as well, thus underlining their potential threat to their upcoming hosts in this mouthwatering and eagerly anticipated encounter.

Goals also look to be a good proposition here for this upcoming clash with Manchester City as six out of Liverpool's last 10 away games have also produced goals for both sides along with Over 2.5 goals in total.

Manchester City v Liverpool Verdict

Seven out of the last 11 meetings between Manchester City and Liverpool have resulted in Over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring.

Therefore, our main bet will be: Liverpool win @ 2.30

Correct Score: Liverpool 2-1 @ 11.00
