City’s Ilkay Gundogan has a thigh injury, and Oleksandr Zinchenko is doubtful with a knock.

Matchwinner Odds

Picking a matchwinner in the Liverpool v Man City fixture is challenging as there is little difference in quality between the sides. City are the favourites among some bookmakers as they have won six of their last eight in all competitions. Mansion Bet will return 29/20 odds for an away win this weekend. A draw between the sides is less likely, as there have only been three draws in the last 11 meetings in this fixture. Betfred will pay out the best returns for a stalemate at 13/5. Our tip this weekend is to back a Liverpool home win. The Reds have won seven of their last nine at home in all competitions, and they are unbeaten in 13 straight home games. There is good value on a Liverpool win, with Betfred offering 2/1 odds.

Under/Over Goals

Goals are expected this weekend, and there is decent value in backing another high-scorer at Anfield. Liverpool vs Man City at Anfield has produced scorelines with over 2.5 goals in four of the last five meetings between the sides. The Reds have also been involved with scorelines of over 2.5 goals in their last six matches. Mansion Bet will return 4/5 odds for another match involving over 2.5 goals. However, our tip this weekend is to go higher, as Liverpool have seen over 3.5 goals in their last two matches. City have also seen over 3.5 goals in four matches this season, including two 5-0 wins in the Premier League. There is good value on over 3.5 goals, with BetVictor offering 19/10 odds.

Anytime Goalscorer

Plenty of top goalscorers will take to the pitch on Sunday as Liverpool, and Man City are overloaded with attacking quality. For City, Riyad Mahrez is leading the goal-scoring charts with four goals this season in all competitions. Unibet will provide decent odds for the forward to net again this weekend at 14/5 odds. But, for a more likely anytime scorer, select a Liverpool player. The Reds frontline has been consistent this season, and Sadio Mané is a good option. The Senegalese striker has scored four goals this term, and he has hit the net in three of his last four matches. Unibet will provide the best returns again for a Mane goal at 5/2. One star player who is in fine form this season is Liverpool talisman Mo Salah. Salah scored twice in the 5-1 thrashing of Porto, and he has scored eight goals in eight matches. Bet365 will provide excellent returns at 13/10 for another Salah goal, and this is our goalscorer tip this weekend.
