7th Oct 2018 | Premier League

Liverpool v Man City Tip

It's a showpiece Sunday between the Premier League's top two contenders and the likely goalscorers are easier to predict than the outcome.

It’s the biggest game of the Premier League season so far and BetFair have an enhanced price of 7/1 available on their app for both Salah and Aguero to score anytime. For context the unenhanced price with most firms is around 9/2 so we’re getting a big mark-up here.


But how likely is it to happen? Well the case for Aguero is as compelling as ever. The all-time record Manchester City scorer has found the net in 3 matches in a row across all competitions and his average of 5.4 shots per match is comfortably the most dangerous in the Premier League in 2018-19.

In fairness Salah still ranks 3rd in that metric with 4.1 shots per match which suggests his goalscoring heroics aren’t over.

Much has been made of his supposedly sluggish start, following his 44 goals last season, but that’s much ado about nothing. The Egyptian had 4 Premier League goals from his first 8 top flight games for Liverpool in his debut campaign and 3 from 7 league games so far is clearly comparable.

Today will be a fascinating test of the two title favourites’ credentials but the goalscoring potential of their star men remains hard to question whatever happens.
