One of the most important games of the Premier League season comes from the Etihad Stadium as Manchester City host Liverpool on Thursday night
Victory for the hosts would see the gap between the sides narrow to four points, whilst an away win would move Jurgen Klopp’s Reds nine points clear of Tottenham in second place.
Games like this can be difficult to select a winner in and so using bet365’s Bet Builder tool, we have put together a 10/3 (4.33) selection consisting of: Over 2 Match Goals, Over 3 Cards, and Over 6 Manchester City Corners.
It is no secret that City and Liverpool boast two of the most devastating attacks in the league, with their combined total of 102 goals this season more than any other pair.
Although their defences are also the sternest, as evidenced in the 0-0 stalemate between these sides in October, the strikers could take centre stage as both sides press for what would be a huge three points.
That draw at Anfield was a relatively bad-tempered affair and marked the sixth meeting in a row between City and Liverpool that featured three or more cards.
In fact, the Reds’ 2-1 win at the Etihad in last season’s Champions League quarter-finals saw six yellow cards, whilst the first leg on Merseyside featured five.
Finally, no team boasts more corners at home this season than City, who average eight per game, and have taken more than six in four of their last six meetings with Liverpool.
An open game seems likely, as it so often is when these sides meet, and so the 10/3 (4.33) Bet Builder selection with bet365 looks a solid way to back an entertaining game without wagering on the winner.
