Manchester City v Liverpool Betting Tips [1 April 2023]

It’s the biggest game of the Premier League weekend as Manchester City welcome Liverpool to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday. With City eight points behind leaders Arsenal albeit with a game in hand and Liverpool seven points behind fourth-placed Tottenham with two games in hand, this match is vital for both sides. City went into the break with massive wins, thrashing RB Leipzig 7-0 in the Champions League and Burnley 6-0 in the FA Cup. That made it six wins in a row in all competitions as they look to maintain their charge on three competitive fronts. A Champions League quarter-final against Bayern looms large but they can’t afford to drop more points in the league. Playing at home adds to that aura as Pep Guardiola’s side have won their last eight matches in all competitions. They can even take pride in having not lost at home to Liverpool in 13 Premier League matches – winning seven and drawing five.

Liverpool need to keep winning if they want to get into the Champions League next season.Yet, the indifferent form of the Reds has been a big concern as they lost 1-0 at Bournemouth before the international break, right on the heels of a 7-0 win over Manchester United. That loss was their only defeat though, in six league matches with four wins and a draw during the sequence. With the team out of Europe after a 6-2 aggregate loss to Real Madrid as well as crashing out of the domestic cup competitions, Klopp can concentrate on a top-four charge. It’s the away form that will be top of his concerns as Liverpool have lost four of their last six away league matches, drawing and winning one each.
