Liverpool v Manchester City betting

Man City’s midweek agony at Napoli showed the vulnerabilities of Roberto Mancini’s men. Liverpool have been in good form in the league this season and have shown that they mean business this season, especially after their victory over Chelsea last Sunday. Can Liverpool keep up their pursuit for a top four finish, or will Man City continue their seemingly unstoppable Premier League form?

Liverpool – PL Form: DDWDW

Liverpool’s season has seen them gain excellent away victories at the likes of Chelsea and Arsenal. However, their home form has seen them fail to beat Norwich, Swansea and Sunderland. Their most notable home result was their 1-1 draw against City’s main rivals Man Utd.

Luis Suarez has been in great form for Liverpool with 7 goals in all competition. His true grit has shone through in his performances and the best odds for him to score first are 7/1 from Ladbrokes.

Games at Anfield this season haven’t seen many goals. The only game that has had more than 3 goals was Liverpool’s 3-1 victory over Bolton. The best odds for the game to have under 3.5 goals are 4/11 from Boylesports.

Manchester City – PL Form: WWWWW

Man City’s victory over Newcastle last week means they are the only unbeaten team in the Premier League. They have shown how ruthless they can be away from home, including that 6-1 victory at Old Trafford and a 4-0 victory at Blackburn. However, their last away day was a shaky 3-2 victory over QPR, but as they say in the Premier League, all the best teams grind out victories against those ‘lesser’ teams. Man City’s only points dropped came away from home in a draw at Fulham.

Edin Dzeko and Sergio Aguero have both scored 10 goals in the Premier League. Mario Balotelli has also been firing on all cylinders. Balotelli is most likely to start after his goal against Napoli and the best odds for him to score first are 13/2 from bet365.

Last time Man City went to Anfield they lost 3-0.

Match Prediction: Draw 12/5 Victor Chandler

This game seems too close to call. Man City are in great form in the league but their midweek disappointment in Italy could have lost some of their vital team spirit. Liverpool are likely to be without Steven Gerrard which could be vital for the game. However, Kenny Dalglish has got them performing like the old Liverpool everyone knows so a positive result is definitely on the cards.
