The top two teams in the Premier League go head-to-head this weekend in what is expected to be a fiercely competitive 90-minutes of football. This is a game that really feels like it could go either way and we're expecting the game to be tight and tense throughout.

BTTS
We've backed goals in this game for both teams as that has been the case in five of the last six competitive and non-competitive meetings between these two sides. Both teams have scored in three of Liverpool's last five outings in all competitions, while Man City have only failed to find the back of the net in two of their last six matches.
Over 2.5 Goals
At least three goals have been scored in four of the last six encounters between Liverpool and Man City in all competitions, and we're expecting more of the same from the pair this Sunday. Over 2.5 goals have been scored in each of Liverpool's last six outings as well as in three of Man City's last five games, so you can see why we're expecting goals between the pair this weekend.
Penalty Kick Awarded
Both of these teams like to play the ball to feet and work the ball into the box and as a result, there is a great chance that at least one of these teams will be awarded a penalty on Sunday. Mo Salah has converted Liverpool's only penalty in the Premier League this season and that arrived against Chelsea at Anfield, while Man City are still awaiting their first spot-kick. Last Season Liverpool were awarded 6 penalties, while Man City notched up 5.

A tight and tense 90-minutes expected between the top two clubs
Liverpool followed up their disappointing 3-3 draw with Brentford with an emphatic 5-1 win at Porto in the Champions League in midweek. Liverpool took the lead twice against Brentford and really should have seen out the victory but some unusually poor defending coast the Reds in the capital. Chelsea are the only team to have taken points off Liverpool at Anfield this season but City have had the edge over the Merseysiders in recent seasons.
Man City lost 2-0 in midweek against PSG but gave one of their best performances in a long time at Stamford Bridge last weekend. A goal from Jesus handed City all 3pts in what was a thoroughly deserved win against one of their title rivals, something they will be eager to repeat on Sunday. City have won three of their last five league games against Liverpool and could make a real statement on Sunday if they are victories once again.
