Manchester City vs Liverpool tips and predictions

Manchester City make themselves hard to beat

It's second placed Manchester City versus sixth placed Liverpool in this Premier League clash as the hosts look to add to the 19-point gap that separates the sides.

This favouritism for the home side isn't a surprise to see. If anything in fact, you could justify Manchester City being a smidge shorter.

The hosts are coming into the match having registered 18 home wins from their last 20.

On their own turf Manchester City have looked comfortable on the ball. Their recent 19 home matches have resulted in them averaging an impressive 3.3 goals per game and that quality has been shown all over the field. At the back they've conceded no more than once in all of their last 13 games. This clash is an opportunity for them to keep another clean sheet.

Liverpool haven't scored a single goal in their last 3 away games. Doing a deep dive into these stats starts to present a pretty encouraging picture for the home side - perhaps they don't need to fear the Liverpool strikers.

The last time these two sides met was in December. Manchester City won with a 3-2 scoreline so they'll be seeking a repeat performance.

Most previews are saying that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match despite the favouritism for Manchester City. This preview is all about value though and with the odds-against price on BTTS No, that makes more sense this time around. Even if The Reds turn up feeling confident, expect The Sky Blues to run away with this one.
