Man City v Liverpool Preview
Man City’s Form
For a side which has been so dominant for the best part of a decade but particularly since Guardiola’s appointment in 2016 by comparison this has been a difficult season for the club. City are 5th in the Premier League and on the verge of being knocked out of Europe following their midweek defeat 2-3 against Real Madrid. However, they spent big in January with over £180 million spent most of which were on first-team signings Khusanov, Reis, Marmoush, Bah and Nico.
Their European journey ended midweek at the hands of Champions League specialists Real Madrid with their 3-1 defeat resigning them to a 6-3 aggregate exit in the competition. That means City’s trophy chances to close the season will almost certainly be confined to the FA Cup. Though they beat Newcastle 4-0 last weekend they trail league leaders Liverpool by 17 points and so even if they won their remaining 13 league games that still may not be enough to mount a late title challenge.
City must win this game if they’re to harbour any late hope of another Premier League success.

Liverpool’s Form
Arne Slot has quite the remarkable first season so far at Liverpool guiding his new club to a phenomenal record of 30 wins from 41 games for a win rate of 73.17% with a goal difference of +60. That run of form has them into the EFL Cup final, leading the way in the Premier League and into the Champions League Round of 16 after topping the league phase.
Last weekend they dropped points in the Premier League failing to land the winning goal following Trent’s equaliser to make it 2-2 against Aston Villa in the 61st minute. That was their second draw in their last three league games which has opened the door for Arsenal slightly reducing the gap to eight points with a game in hand over Liverpool.
All of these draws could come back to bite Liverpool come the end of the season and a win is badly needed in this game.

Key Players To Watch
Omar Marmoush - Man City
The Battle of the Egyptians? In the Blue corner, we have a recent £59 million January signing from Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga who has taken to life in Manchester seamlessly in spite of City’s inconsistencies. He scored his first City goals last weekend against Newcastle scoring a hattrick in their 4-0 win from off the wing.
With Haaland an injury doubt, Guardiola may spring a surprise and play Marmoush in his favoured CF position. He is 15/2 to score first or 9/4 to score at any time.
Marmoush any time goal - 9/4
Mohamed Salah - Liverpool
In the Red Corner is the man affectionately known as “The Egyptian King” by Liverpool fans who might be approaching the “Twilight” of his career at (32) but he remains a constant menace for opposition defenders.
This season he has already 29 goals and provided 20 assists in 37 games across all competitions. He can be gotten at 5/1 to score first or at 5/4 to score at any time.
Salah first goal - 5/1
Man City v Liverpool Prediction & Best Bet
Prediction: Man City 2-3 Liverpool
City have dominated domestically for the best part of a decade but need to win all of their remaining games to stand a chance of another Premier League title.
Despite continuing their unbeaten streak, these draws are starting to open a door for Arsenal in second spot with this title race far from over.
Can see this going multiple ways, but I think there will be plenty of goals on Sunday.
