Manchester City vs. Liverpool: Preview and betting tips

Saturday kicks off with a duel between two teams that have dominated the Premier League in recent years, but now Liverpool have fallen out of that position, while Arsenal have replaced them as they try in vain to chase Manchester City.

Things have already started to look promising with Liverpool beating Wolves and Manchester United, with a score of 9: 0. But then Jürgen Klopp’s charges sobered up when they lost 1: 0 at Bournemouth. The same result in Madrid then only sealed the Anfield double, where Real won 5: 2.

Manchester City have won their last 6 games, scoring only once. In the last two games, they have scored 13 goals. Erling Haaland himself has scored 8 of them.

As far as the games between the teams are concerned, we can clearly say that both teams are scoring goals. Both teams have scored in 10 of the last 12 encounters. In 7 of the last 8 games, the fans have seen at least 3 goals.

However, Liverpool have fared better of late, winning 3 of the last 4 meetings, only it was Manchester City who won the last encounter.

The form of coach Pep Guardiola’s charges is breathtaking and they need to score fully as they are 8 points behind the Gunners with a game to spare.

But even Liverpool definitely have something to fight for when they are 5 points behind. Newcastle and 7 behind 4. Tottenham, but they have two games in hand. So an interesting duel is guaranteed this time too!

Manchester City is clearly the favourite for this duel, the bookmakers have written odds of 1.63 for their victory. With a great defense, a win for the home team is very realistic.
