Liverpool v Man City Preview (10/11/2019)

11/8/2019

Undoubtedly the game of the weekend this weekend is Liverpool versus Manchester City as the Premier League’s two front-runners go head-to-head in what promises to be a mouthwatering affair.

The Citizens are winless at Anfield in the Premier League since 2003 (P17 D6 L11) when Nicolas Anelka scored a brace in a 2-1 win.

Jurgen Klopp’s Reds came from behind in dramatic fashion against Aston Villa last weekend to make it 43 games without defeat in the Premier League.

The bookmakers have the home side as marginal favourites at 6/4 while Man City are a fraction bigger at 13/8 and the draw is 13/5.

Sadio Mane has been integral to Liverpool this season (6 goals & 4 assists) and the Senegalese winger is 11/2 to open the scoring on Sunday afternoon.

Liverpool have scored and conceded in all 5 of Liverpool’s home games this season and with Guardiola expected to be without first-choice goalkeeper Ederson the safe bet looks to be in the goals markets.

Over 2.5 goals & both teams to score is 5/6 with bet365.

Liverpool and Tottenham go head-to-head in a mouthwatering fixture at Anfield on Sunday (16:30BST).

Klopp’s side were 2-1 winners in the reverse fixture against Pochettino’s Tottenham at Wembley in September. Roberto Firmino scored what would prove the decisive goal on that occasion and the Liverpool striker was among the goals for Brazil during the International break.

He is 7/5 with Bet365 to score at anytime on Sunday.

Sadio Mane has been on red-hot form for the Reds, scoring 9 in his last 9 in the Premier League- and he too continued that form when scoring for Senegal on Tuesday.

Sadio Mane to score first and Liverpool to win is 6/1 with Bet365.

Arsenal v Manchester United Preview (10/03/2019)

The climax to this weekend’s Premier League action comes from the Emirates Stadium as Arsenal host Manchester United in a crunch match in the race for the top-4.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has worked minor miracles since replacing Jose Mourinho as Red Devils boss in December.

The former United striker turned manager orchestrated a memorable Champions League victory against Paris Saint Germain on Wednesday night thanks in no small part to Romelu Lukaku who now has 6 goals in his last 3 appearances in all competitions.

Unai Emery’s Arsenal side meanwhile endured European agony on Thursday when coming unstuck to Rennes in the Europa League despite having led early. Rennes currently 10th in Ligue 1 and a mere 34-points behind the aforementioned PSG.

It’s therefore somewhat of a surprise to see that the home side are currently priced up as favourites at 7/5 with bet365. Manchester United have won their last 6 in-a-row away from home, scoring 15 times in the process and look value to extend that sequence at 2/1 with bet365.

The Gunners have failed to score in just 1 game at the Emirates this season (when losing 2-0 to Man City on the opening weekend) while Manchester United have scored in all 15 of their games away from Old Trafford this season making the both teams to score selection an obvious bet at 4/7 with bet365.

It’s the 233rd renewal of Merseyside Derby between Everton and Liverpool at Goodison Park this Sunday afternoon (16:15GMT).

Liverpool maintained their position at the top of the Premier League in midweek with a 5-0 drubbing over Watford while Everton snapped a 3-game losing streak with an equally comfortable 3-0 victory against Cardiff on Tuesday night.

The Reds have held the upper-hand over their local rivals recently with Everton without a win in this fixture since 2010. The hosts are therefore priced up as the outsiders to win on Sunday at 5/1 with bet365 while Klopp’s table-toppers are odds-on 8/13 favourites to come away with all 3-points.

A 96th minute winner from Divock Origi was the difference in the reverse fixture at Anfield in December and the bit part Belgian striker could be in line to start with Roberto Firmino still nursing an ankle injury.

Origi is 8/5 to score at anytime with Bet365 and interestingly he is 5/1 to be the last goalscorer once again.

Manchester City returned to the summit of the Premier League in midweek following a 2-0 win over Everton but Pep Guardiola’s side can ill afford to take things easily as they prepare to face Chelsea at the Etihad this Sunday.

Maurizio Sarri’s side bounced back from their shock 4-0 defeat to Bournemouth with a comprehensive 5-0 victory over Huddersfield last weekend with new signing Gonzalo Higuain scoring his first 2 goals for the club since joining on-loan from Juventus in January.

Chelsea inflicted the first league defeat this season on Manchester City when the sides met at Stamford Bridge in December but the Blues are without a win at the Etihad since 2016.

Since their 3-2 home defeat to Crystal Palace, City have won their last 6 consecutive home matches scoring no fewer than 29 goals in the process and conceding just twice so it’s no surprise to see them red-hot 1/2 favourites with bet365 to secure all 3-points on Sunday.

In terms of value, Sergio Aguero to score first is 11/4 with bet365.

The Argentine striker notched a hat-trick in City’s most recent home game against Arsenal.

The Premier League wagon rolls on this weekend following a hectic midweek of fixtures and Manchester City will be desperate to get back on track after a shock defeat away against Newcastle United on Tuesday night.

Pep Guardiola’s men were in the lead inside the 1st minute at St James’ Park but 2 second-half goals saw the defending Premier League champions see the gap to current leaders Liverpool extended to 5-points.

Arsenal were also in action on Tuesday night, beating Cardiff City 2-1 at the Emirates with strikers Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang & Alexandre Lacazette both grabbing a goal apiece. The win was enough to move the Gunners into the all important 4th place (on goals scored) ahead of Chelsea.

Manchester City are currently priced up at 3/10 to get the better of Arsenal on Sunday afternoon with an away win 17/2 and the draw is 11/2 with bet365.

City have a favourable head-to-head record over Arsenal in recent seasons, winning their last 3 in a row in the Premier League against the Gunners.

Raheem Sterling & Bernardo Silva were both on target during City’s 2-0 win in the reverse fixture on the opening weekend of this Premier League season and a repeat 2-0 scoreline is 8/1 with Bet365.

The pick of the Premier League action this weekend comes from North London as Arsenal host Chelsea in a crunch match in the battle for the top-4.

The Gunners were beaten 1-0 by West Ham last weekend, leaving them 6-points behind opponents Chelsea who currently occupy the final Champions League spot (4th).

Unai Emery’s men could in fact find themselves in 6th place by 5:30pm on Saturday, with Manchester United currently level on points with Arsenal facing Brighton in one of the Premier League 3pm kick-offs on Saturday.

Chelsea, meanwhile, were unimpressive against Newcastle last weekend but did enough to extend their unbeaten run in the Premier League to 4 games thanks to a 2-1 win.

The stats, as well as the sides head-to-head record, all point to goals in this fixture. Arsenal have kept just 3 clean sheets all season, while visitors Chelsea have found the net in 9 of their 10 away games in the Premier League.

Bet365 is currently 4/7 for Both Teams to Score on Saturday evening.

Willian ended a run of 10 appearances in the Premier League without a goal last week, and the Brazilian winger at 11/5 Anytime Goalscorer makes for an interesting punt.

The North-West Derby looks to be the pick of this weekend’s Premier League action, with table-topping Liverpool welcome Manchester United to Anfield on Sunday afternoon.

Both sides progressed to the last-16 of the Champions League during midweek despite very differing results.

Liverpool were resolute in beating Napoli on Tuesday night, with Mo Salah scoring the only goal. On Wednesday, Man Utd were beaten in Valencia though one suspects that Mourinho fielded a weaker side to better prepare for this Sunday’s fixture.

Jurgen Klopp’s men are unbeaten in 16 games in the Premier League this season (W13 D3) and have won their last 5 straight matches, scoring 13 and conceding just 1 goal in that time.

Roberto Firmino has scored double-figures in each season since arriving on Merseyside from Hoffenheim in 2015, and the Brazilian has scored 2 in his last 4 appearances in the league.

Firmino to score first and Liverpool to win 2-0 is 22/1 with bet365.

The 2 sides had contrasting weeks in Europe, with Liverpool going down 1-0 to a late Lorenzo Insigne goal in Naples on Wednesday night whilst Man City were 2-1 winners away to Hoffenheim after an 87th minute David Silva goal on Tuesday.

Jurgen Klopp’s men got the better of Guardiola and his eventual Premier League champions last season via a memorable 4-3 win at Anfield.

Bet365 have the Reds as marginal favourites to win at 6/4 with the visitors at 9/5 and the draw is 13/5.

Last seasons Golden Boot winner Mo Salah hasn’t quite been firing on all cylinders, but the Egyptian has found the net in all 3 Premier League games at Anfield.

He was, however, on target in 3 of the 4 games against the Citizens last year and is subsequently15/4 to score first on Sunday.

Our money? Mohamed Salah to score first & Liverpool to win 2-1 is 35/1.
