31st Dec 2016 | Premier League
Title Rivals Promise Thrills
Liverpool have scored for fun at Anfield even when teams have put 11 men behind the ball. What will happen when Man City come to play?
It has the potential to be one of the games of the season. All the indications are that Pep Guardiola will send his team out to go toe to toe with Liverpool and that’s dangerous at Anfield.
Backing the Reds and over 3.5 goals in the match looks like great value at a best price of 9/2 with StanJames.
Liverpool have looked just a fraction better than their opponents this campaign both in terms of results and the key shot statistics, in defence and attack.
Shots attempted per game:
18.1 - Liverpool
16.9 - Man City
Shots conceded per game:
7.6 - Liverpool
8.5 - Man City
Throw in home advantage and the Merseysiders should be well-backed here.
Liverpool home games average 4 goals per outing and Man City away games 3.67 goals per fixture. A dull end to the Premier League in 2016 looks unthinkable.
