City blues
Manchester City’s loss to Chelsea officially confirmed Liverpool as Premier League champions. They rebounded in style on Sunday evening with a comfortable 0-2 triumph over Newcastle in the FA Cup. They’d like nothing more than to defeat Liverpool on Thursday and hold a psychological advantage over them heading into next season. Man City are currently at 21/20 to win this match.
The wait is over
Liverpool won their first title since 1990 as a result of the aforementioned Man City loss. This is their 19th title win; leaving them one behind Manchester United. A win away to their main rivals will be the cherry on top of an excellent season for the Reds. Liverpool are at 15/4 to win by one exact goal. Liverpool are still on course to better Man City’s overall points total of 100 which they achieved in the 17/18 season; they are currently on 86 points with seven games remaining.
Match preview
Liverpool ran out 3-1 winners at Anfield earlier in the season, and Jurgen Klopp would like a repeat performance from his side. However, Klopp’s side have not won at the Etihad in the league since a 1-4 win in 2015; one of his first matches in charge. Roberto Firmino played and scored in that match, and he’s at 9/4 to score again. As shown in their recent H2H, Man City are playing against the only English side in which they don’t dominate possession, and they’ll be attempting to change that once the match starts. The games between these sides tend to produce goals with end-to-end action, and despite the lack of fans, hopefully, the same will be the case again on Thursday.
Injuries and suspensions
Manchester City: Eric García and Sergio Agüero.
Liverpool: n/a
Betting tip
