Liverpool vs Manchester City: Manchester City +0 Goal Handicap (-125)

Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing

As Liverpool prepares to host Manchester City, the stage is set for an intriguing clash. City arrives in formidable form, boasting a perfect five-game winning streak, scoring an impressive 2.6 goals per match on the road. Meanwhile, Liverpool's home record has been shaky, with just two wins in their last five outings. They’ve averaged a mere 1.4 goals at Anfield, and their offense seems to be struggling to find rhythm, generating only 0 expected goals in recent games. What’s more, City’s attack has been relentless, peppering opposition defenses with 17.4 shots per game away from home. With Liverpool conceding an average of 1 goal at home, it’s hard to see them keeping City at bay. Given these trends, backing Manchester City with a zero handicap looks enticing—they're not just the in-form side, but they also have the momentum to take all three points.

That is how our model reads Liverpool v Manchester City. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back anything. And if a game does not feel right to you, the strongest move is to skip it -- there is another one tomorrow.
