Liverpool vs Manchester City Preview
In the 28th round of the English Premier League, a meeting of championship contenders will take place – Liverpool will host Manchester City at Anfield Road. The game will take place on Sunday, March 10 and will be one of the most important games of the season for both teams.
It is difficult to overestimate the importance of the upcoming match: Liverpool takes the first place with 63 points, and Manchester City comes on the heels of the competitor, having only one point less. It should be noted that in this fight there is also a third force – Arsenal, which is currently in third position with 61 points. A victory for any of the clubs will automatically significantly increase its chances of winning the championship, but a draw will play into the hands of the Gunners.
According to bookmakers, the current champions are the favourites of the upcoming match. Judging by Liverpool vs Manchester City odds, the victory of the guests is estimated at odds of 2.20-2.30. The probability of success of the hosts corresponds to odds around 2.90-3.00, and fans can bet on a draw for 3.80-4.00.
Let's assess in what form the opponents are approaching the upcoming match and choose the most reliable option for Liverpool vs Manchester City tips.
Liverpool Preview
The Reds lose extremely rarely this season. For example, in the current calendar year, Jurgen Klopp's team has only one setback, but at the same time – in a very important match. Liverpool lost to its direct competitor Arsenal (1-3), and only the misfires of the Gunners allowed Merseysides to be higher in the standings. If Liverpool lose to Manchester City as well, it could seriously hurt their championship ambitions.
Last week, Nottingham Forest almost created a sensation, but Darwin Nunez brought his team three points (1-0) in the 90+9 minute.
You need to keep in mind that Liverpool will play the most important match just three days after the away game in the UEFA Europa League against Sparta Prague. However, it is quite possible that Jurgen Klopp will save part of the main squad, leaving some leaders in reserve.
Manchester City Preview
For The Citizens, defeat is also a long–forgotten word, the last time the reigning champions lost on December 6 (Aston Villa 0-1). Since then, Pep Guardiola's team has played a series of 19 matches without defeats in all tournaments (17 wins and only two draws). Erling Haaland is back in crazy shape, having scored a penta-trick in the FA Cup match against Luton Town (6-2) last week, and then scored one of the goals against Manchester United (3-1).
Unlike Liverpool, which continues to experience serious problems with the squad, Pep Guardiola has an almost completely healthy squad at his disposal. Only Jack Grealish will not have time to recover from his damage.
Another advantage of City will be an extra day to rest – the team played its match in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday, and the result of the confrontation with Danish Copenhagen was well known even after the first match.
Liverpool vs Manchester City Betting Tips
Anfield Road is an enchanted stadium for Manchester City. The Citizens have taken away three points from there only twice in the history of the Premier League, the last time it happened in February 2021 (4-1). It would seem that the curse has subsided, but no: in the next two games they were not able to win again – a 2-2 draw and a 0-1 defeat.
Now everything suggests that Manchester City should achieve an away victory – the team is in great shape, Liverpool is weakened due to injuries, and Haaland is scoring a lot again. But we still do not recommend making an unambiguous bet on the victory of the guests – you can not underestimate the spirit of Anfield. Instead, as a Liverpool vs Manchester City prediction, we want to offer an option with at least two goals performed by the Citizens. The excellent attack of the reigning champions is quite capable of this. Our tip for this game Manchester City Team Total Over 1,5 at odds of 1.81.
