Matchweek 25 of the Premier League has arrived as Man City travels to take on Liverpool in a game that sees two of the best teams in England clash.
Liverpool are slight +135 favorites on the moneyline for this one on DraftKings Sportsbook, with a draw available at +265. Fancy a Man City win? The Citizens are +175 to pick up three points.
Liverpool vs. Man City Prediction, Pick
The biggest game of the weekend in the Premier League sees Liverpool host Man City. These two teams have very different aspirations at this point in the season, but it’s a huge game for both. The reigning champions have had a season to forget, but three points in this one will be huge in their race to secure Champions League qualification for next season. It’s also an important game for Man City, who need three points in order to keep themselves within touching distance in the title race.
Despite Man City winning the reverse fixture earlier in the season, they have historically struggled in this fixture. They have won only three of the last 12 games between these teams in all competitions, and all three of those wins came at the Etihad Stadium. The Reds are undefeated in their last five home matches against the Citizens.
A big key to this game will be the rest advantage for Liverpool. They last played on Saturday, a dominant 4-1 win over Newcastle. Man City played on Sunday, a 2-2 draw away against Tottenham. Then, they played again on Wednesday in the Carabao Cup semi-final as they advanced against Newcastle. Man City have played two games since Liverpool last played, and when you combine that with the fact that the Reds are at home in this one, it’s a huge travel and rest advantage for the home team.
I expect them to be well rested and ready to prove a point against a team who are fighting for the title.
