Liverpool v Manchester City Premier League Betting Tips 1/12/2024

An early Premier League title clash will unfold at Anfield on Sunday as Liverpool welcomes reigning champions Manchester City, so here’s our Liverpool v Manchester City Premier League Betting Tips. Arne Slot’s Liverpool reign is in full swing and the Reds head into this clash eight points clear at the top of the table. Second-place City have work to do to catch the Merseyside club, and the Citizens come into this one following a rare winless run. Will Liverpool keep winning, or can City muster some form to challenge the Reds? You can watch this game live at 4:00 p.m. It will be shown live on Sky Sports.

Form and Team News

Slot has taken to the Liverpool job seamlessly since replacing Jurgen Klopp in the summer. The Dutch coach has overseen 17 wins from 19 in all competitions. Liverpool are unbeaten in 15 consecutive matches and returned from the international break with a 3-2 win at Southampton. The Reds then produced a strong performance to edge Spanish giants Real Madrid 2-0 at home in the Champions League in mid-week. Things haven’t been so smooth for Pep Guardiola and Man City. The Citizens are winless in six consecutive matches and have lost five – handing Guardiola his worst-ever spell as a manager. It looked like City were about to end their poor run of form against Feyenoord on Tuesday. Erling Haaland and Ilkay Gundogan put City 3-0 up before they conceded three late goals and drew 3-3 at the Etihad.

Regarding the latest team news, Liverpool duo Ibrahima Konate and Conor Bradley came off injured against Real Madrid. This defensive pair are doubtful for Sunday. Diogo Jota, Alisson, Federico Chiesa and Konstantinos Tsimikas are ruled out. City will be without key players Rodri and John Stones, while Oscar Bobb and Mateo Kovacic are also out.

Match Winner Bet

Due to their recent capitulation, Man City are the big outsiders to win at Anfield on Sunday. Before losing and drawing at home in their last two, City were on a four-match losing streak, with each defeat coming on the road. The Manchester outfit have also struggled in their recent visits to Anfield and are winless in three. Guardiola’s team are low on confidence, and 5/2 odds with Unibet reflect their outsider status against Liverpool this weekend. A draw also has high odds, and Betfred is providing 11/4 for a stalemate. Neither Liverpool nor Man City draw often, however. City have had just two draws in their last 21 league games. Liverpool have also drawn just once in their last 20 competitive matches. Ultimately, it’s difficult to back away from going with the favourites here. Liverpool looks unbeatable at the moment and continues to find new levels under Slot. Their confident win over a powerful Real Madrid side on Wednesday showed the Reds’ elite level this season. Another Reds victory looks like the best pick here, and BetGoodwin’s 23/20 odds seem a good value bet in the match winner market.

Over/Under Goals Betting

Considering how leaky Manchester City have been recently, going with a low scorer may seem illogical. But Guardiola will be fully aware that he needs to address his side’s defensive woes, leading to 16 goals conceded in four. Liverpool have also been less goal-happy at Anfield recently, seeing under 2.5 goals in back-to-back home games. Last season, under 2.5 goals landed both of Liverpool and Man City’s Premier League encounters. We expect a more cagey clash on Sunday too as City look to stop the rot. This could lead to a tetchy affair and under 2.5 goals has decent potential returns at 6/4, offered by BetMGM.  

Anytime Goalscorer Bets

The 2024/25 Premier League’s leading scorers will go head-to-head here, with Erling Haaland and Mo Salah providing each side’s attacking threat. Haaland has 12 league goals this season and has scored seven in his last six in all competitions.  The Norwegian kept scoring in mid-week with a brace against Feyenoord, and he will be eager to keep the goals flowing at Liverpool. However, this task could be tricky against a side that has conceded just three league goals at home this season. As a result, a Haaland anytime goal has higher odds than usual at 6/4, offered by Star Sports.  A better anytime scorer pick is Mo Salah. Liverpool’s talisman trails Haaland in the goalscoring charts after notching 10 in 12 appearances this season. But the Egyptian’s consistency at Anfield is impressive, and he has struck five goals in his last seven home games. At 8/5 odds, provided by Bet365, more Salah home goals look appealing in the anytime goalscorer market this weekend.
