Manchester City vs Liverpool Betting Tips – Liverpool Desperate To Gain Momentum For League Title

It is safe to say that an eleventh Premier League crown is out of Pep Guardiola’s reach this season. The Cityzens’ primary goal this season will be to nab a Champions League spot and try to finish ahead of Nottingham Forest. Both teams have stuttered in their steps recently and will be eager to regain momentum as they chase their objectives.

After dominating the Premier League and winning four titles in a row, Manchester City were in a slump in October. The ten-time league winners have shown signs of improvement but are yet to get out of it completely.

Across all competitions, City have won two out of their last five games. Two of those losses came against Real Madrid in the Champions League because of which Guardiola’s men exited the elite competition.

After losing Manuel Akanji to a muscle injury in the first leg of the Champions League encounter against Real Madrid, City lost John Stones to an ankle injury in the second leg. Both defenders will miss the crucial clash against Liverpool.

Liverpool squandered the opportunity to extend their lead at the top of the table after picking up only five points out of nine over the last three games. If they lose at the Etihad and Arsenal win against West Ham and also win the game they have in hand, the deficit could be reduced to just two points.

The Reds have not lost a Premier League game since September and are also the only team yet to lose an away game this season.

Arne Slot has confirmed that Cody Gakpo may not feature in the clash against Manchester City. The Dutch striker was injured in the Merseyside Derby and has missed the team’s last two matches.

Conor Bradley limped off after picking up a minor injury in the last match against Aston Villa and will be doubtful. Meanwhile, Joe Gomez has undergone a hamstring surgery and could return towards the end of the season.
