Arguably the best Premier League game of the weekend takes place in Manchester on Sunday as Man City hosts Liverpool. This game is huge for both sides as they look to stay within touching distance of league leaders Arsenal.
Man City are second in the table, while Liverpool sit in third as these two teams battle for position as the main challengers to Arsenal. Only one point separates the sides.
Man City are -110 favorites on the moneyline for this one on DraftKings Sportsbook, with a draw available at +300. Fancy a Liverpool upset? The Reds are +265 to get the win.
Man City vs. Liverpool Prediction, Pick
For this bet to hit, we need Liverpool to win the game. If it ends in a tie, the bet will void. This game has massive title implications, and I think Liverpool are better equipped to handle the pressure and get a big result.
Man City have arguably the best player in the world right now with Erling Haaland, but after that, they have not been anything to write home about this year. If Virgil van Dijk can shut down Haaland, it could be a long day for the Citizens.
On the other hand, Liverpool have just got themselves out of a bad patch with convincing back-to-back wins against Aston Villa and Real Madrid. They have gotten the better of this matchup in recent times as well, winning both fixtures between these teams last season. The season before, both fixtures ended in a tie. The Reds may not win this one, but I don’t think they’ll lose either. They look to have found a bit of the magic they had last season in their last two games, and I think that will continue on Sunday.
Despite a really bad patch recently, it looks like Liverpool have found their way out of it. They are the reigning champions for a reason, and I think a statement win could be on the cards in this one.
