Odds: Liverpool (13/10) Draw (11/4) Man City (21/10)Gamingtips Prediction – Liverpool 2:3 Man City
Despite City remaining clear favourites for the league title, have Liverpool at 13/10 to win on Sunday, shorter than the 21/10 on City to win. If Liverpool do manage to win, their odds of winning the league may well shorten so betting on Liverpool to win the league title rather than to win this game could be a good idea pre-game. There’s certainly one key similarity between the two teams, it’s goal scoring ability. Liverpool have scored 90 in 33 games and City have 84 in 31; both attaining a 2.7 goals per game average. The top 4 goal scorers in the Premier League all play for either side too, consisting of Suarez (29 goals), Sturridge (20 goals), Yaya Toure (18 goals) and Aguero (15 goals). This really does show how influential these players have been when leading their sides to the summit. Ultimately we should see an action packed game with plenty of goals – Manchester City may just have enough to overcome Liverpool given that they have been here before and Liverpool have not been in this position for many years.
