Bet 1: Match Result – Draw
Rationale:
Manchester City’s recent struggles have seen them fall from their usual levels of dominance, with three defeats in their last five outings across all competitions. The defensive frailties exposed in matches against Arsenal, Real Madrid, and PSG indicate that they remain vulnerable to top-quality opposition.
Liverpool, on the other hand, have been relentless in attack but have shown signs of inconsistency in away fixtures. While they lead the league in goals scored, their last two away league matches—both ending in 2-2 draws against Everton and Aston Villa—suggest they can be got at.
Given the stakes, City will push for a result, but with Liverpool’s attacking firepower, an end-to-end encounter is expected. Five of the Reds’ last ten away matches have ended in draws, and with neither side wanting to lose ground in the title race, another share of the spoils seems a likely outcome.

Bet 2: Liverpool Over 1.5 Team Goals
Rationale:
Liverpool have been in devastating attacking form this season, finding the net at least twice in 18 of their last 19 league games. Their ability to carve out chances against even the most resolute defences has been one of their greatest strengths under Arne Slot.
City’s defence has shown significant weaknesses, conceding two or more goals in both of their recent encounters with Real Madrid, as well as suffering a heavy 5-1 loss at Arsenal. With Liverpool boasting the best goal tally in the league, their attacking momentum should see them breach City’s backline at least twice.
Additionally, City’s vulnerability when facing elite forwards plays into Liverpool’s hands. Given that the Reds have scored at least two goals in nine of their last ten away matches, this selection carries strong value.

Man City vs Liverpool Bet Builder Tip @ 45/1 | |
Reasoning This Bet Builder combines a mix of match result, team goals, and individual player performances to maximise value.

Bet 3: Mohamed Salah to Score Anytime
Rationale:
Mohamed Salah remains one of the most consistent goalscorers in world football and heads into this match in blistering form. He has found the net in each of his last seven games and thrives in high-pressure encounters.
The Egyptian has a strong record at the Etihad, scoring in three of Liverpool’s last five visits. Given City’s recent defensive struggles, particularly against world-class forwards, Salah has every chance of adding to his tally.
With City conceding goals to high-calibre opposition regularly, Salah is well-positioned to capitalise. Whether cutting inside to shoot or finishing off a swift counter-attack, he remains Liverpool’s primary goal threat.
Bet 4: Omar Marmoush to Score Anytime
Rationale:
While much of the focus will be on Liverpool’s attacking threats, Manchester City’s January signing Omar Marmoush has made an immediate impact in English football. The Egyptian forward struck a hat-trick against Newcastle last weekend and was unlucky not to score against Real Madrid, hitting the woodwork from a free-kick.
Marmoush has been in exceptional form this season, netting 18 goals across 20 league appearances for City and former club Eintracht Frankfurt. With Liverpool’s defence conceding twice in each of their last two away fixtures, he will be confident of making his mark.
Liverpool’s backline has looked vulnerable against dynamic attackers, and with Marmoush’s ability to exploit space and his sharp finishing, he is a strong candidate to get on the scoresheet.
Bet 5: Dominik Szoboszlai 1+ Assists
Rationale:
Dominik Szoboszlai has been one of Liverpool’s most creative players this season, regularly carving out chances in key fixtures. Despite only recording two assists in the league, his underlying numbers suggest he has been unfortunate not to register more.
The Hungarian has created three or more chances in nine Premier League matches, with his most influential performances coming against high-calibre opposition, including Manchester City earlier in the season. With an expected assists (xA) tally of 3.98, he has been let down by finishing rather than a lack of creativity.
Given City’s defensive issues and the likelihood of a high-scoring game, Szoboszlai is well-placed to provide a decisive pass that leads to a goal. His vision and technical ability make him a strong pick to register at least one assist.
