Man City vs Liverpool Betting Tips: Man City to Win

Just prior to the ten-day international break for the November qualifiers, Pep Guardiola encountered a situation he had never seen in his 882 games in charge of City. He saw an extraordinary match where his team both scored and let in an unparalleled four goals simultaneously.

After progressing through all the youth levels at Manchester City and transferring to Stamford Bridge this summer, Cole Palmer demonstrated tremendous nerve. He coolly netted a penalty during the fifth minute of injury time, thereby securing a crucial point for Chelsea in a thrilling 4-4 draw. This also ended his previous team’s five-match winning streak.

After an exciting eight-goal game, the Citizens are eagerly looking forward to returning to Etihad Stadium. They have turned this ground into an unbeatable fortress, winning each of their last 23 home games. This winning streak includes a 4-1 victory over Klopp’s Liverpool on April 1st.

Despite the potential absence of Haaland due to an injury he sustained in the match against the Faroe Islands, which led him to withdraw from the Norwegian national camp, City’s prospects of achieving their 24th consecutive home win and matching Sunderland’s 19th-century record of 24 successive home victories could be significantly reduced.

On the other end of the field, Liverpool took advantage of Manchester Blues’ misstep to go into Saturday’s marquee match just one point behind, following a resounding 3-0 victory over Brentford. This win, largely thanks to Mohamed Salah’s pair of goals, marked the Reds’ first success after a disappointing 1-1 tie against EPL newcomers Luton and a 2-3 defeat to Toulouse.

Klopp’s team has the challenging task of trying to unseat Guardiola’s City from the top of the table. This is especially difficult considering their recent lackluster away performances, with only a single win in their last five matches across all competitions.

Exacerbating the situation for the Reds, they haven’t tasted victory in any of their last three Premier League excursions, succumbing to Tottenham before sharing the spoils in successive fixtures against Brighton and Luton. Furthermore, Klopp’s team’s leaky defensive quartet, without a clean sheet in nine official away fixtures this term, offers City the opportunity to confidently contemplate securing their record 24th consecutive victory at the Etihad.
