Manchester City v Liverpool

1x2: Manchester City
HT/FT: Manchester City / Manchester City
Over/Under: Over
Correct Score: 3 - 0

Ten days before Manchester City face Bayern Munich in the quarter-final of the Champions League will they want to be competitive or have their foot a little off the pedal in not wanting to pick up any injuries. They are also still involved in the FA Cup. My guess is that they will want to win all three trophies, so a win today will put pressure back on Arsenal who play Leeds later in the day. Manchester City have scored thirteen goals in their last two home games, six against Burnley in the FA Cup and seven against RB Leipzig in the Champions League. Manchester City have such a strong home record and with Liverpool poor on the road every chance Manchester City will take all three points.

Saturday 1st April 2023 - BT - 1230
Premier League
Manchester City v Liverpool

1X2 Man City
HT/FT Man City/Man City
UNDER/OVER Over
CORRECT SCORE 2-1

Man City hosts Liverpool in the Premier League on saturday morning. City is in excellent shape as they have won 5 consecutive games to nil and in the last 2 matches they even scored 6+ goals. At the same time Liverpool went from keeping 3 consecutive clean sheets to losing 2 consecutive matches without finding the net. City has conceded in each of the last 6 h2h games as they managed to win just once but i still assume that at home they can get victory for a change against Liverpool. Man City to win.

West Ham United v Southampton

1x2: West Ham United
HT/FT: West Ham United / West Ham United
Over/Under: Under
Corrects Score: 2 - 0

Two teams who currently find themselves in the bottom three of the Premiership. West Ham United will be looking to transfer the form they have showed in the Europa Conference league to their domestic league. They have played well in their last five home games. Apart from that win against AEK Larnaca, they have picked up eight points from four Premiership games. Southampton have taken four points from their last four away premiership games. West Ham United’s spirits will have been lifted knowing they are in the quarter-finals of the Europa Conference league and that will have every chance of instilling confidence in this set of players to win today.

Bolton v Plymouth

1x2: Plymouth
HT/FT: Plymouth / Plymouth
Over/Under: Under
Correct score: 0 - 2

Both these teams play their football in League One where Plymouth are top, four places and sixteen points to the good of Bolton. These two teams have met five teams, with Plymouth winning four and the other game ending in a draw. One thing that is striking about those five games is that Bolton have never scored against Plymouth. Plymouth have won four of their last five league games and if both teams play as they have been in the league then every chance it will be Plymouth who are celebrating when the whistle blows for the end of the game.

Premier League
Manchester City v Liverpool

1X2 Man City
HT/FT Man City / Man City
UNDER/OVER Over
CORRECT SCORE 4-0

Well this is a completely different game to what it would have been this time last season. Man City simply have to keep winning and hope that Arsenal slip up whereas Liverpool only have the top 4 to aim for. Whilst Liverpool have put in some improved results of late they look very light in midfield to me and I don't see them competing with City here. These games often produce very one sided results and I can see another one here, City with a comfortable win for me.

Premier League
Manchester City v Liverpool

Man city
Man city-man city
Over
3-1

City are on a strong run of form winning six in a row and scoring thirteen goals in their last two games. They have won eleven of thirteen home league games scoring more than three on average. Liverpool have drawn their last two visits to city and won the reverse fixture so will travel with a chance though their away record in the league this season is disappointing with seven losses. They have also failed to score in four of their last five away league games. City should get the win to stay in touch with leaders arsenal and I predict a 3-1 score line.

Manchester City v Liverpool

1X2 Man City
HT/FT Man City/Man City
UNDER/OVER Over
CORRECT SCORE 2-1

The month begins with a match considered pivotal in the Premier League for three consecutive seasons. Man City play at home against Liverpool. This season, Man City are leading the way, while Liverpool have lost some ground, especially on the road. Jurgen Klopp's side have suffered several tangible defeats at a time no one expected. Of course, any team, especially a strong one like Liverpool, can come together for one game, but Man City's chances look better before the game
