Liverpool vs. Manchester City 10/3/21 Premier League Soccer Pick, Odds, and Predictions

Liverpool and Manchester City face off on Sunday in an English Premier League showdown at Anfield. With both teams expecting to compete for a title, this is a key game for both teams. When these two teams faced off in February, Manchester City won 4-1.  

Liverpool comes into this game sitting in second place of the standings having picked up 14 points. Liverpool has found success this season, but they are coming off a very disappointing game against Brentford. Liverpool scored three goals, but they gave up three goals, and that led to them picking up only one point. Liverpool on the season has scored 15 goals while their defense has given up four goals. Mohamed Salah has been the best player for Liverpool scoring five goals. Sadio Mane and Diogo Jota have both also scored three goals. In this game, Liverpool needs the offense to be good, and get the goal scoring early. 

On the other side of this matchup is Manchester City who sit in 5th place in the standings having picked up 13 points. Manchester City’s offense isn’t elite, but in their last game in the Premier League, they won 1-0. Manchester City played a midweek game against PSG, and they really struggled in that game losing 2-0. Manchester City on the season has scored 12 goals while their defense is giving up one goal. Gabriel Jones and Ferran Torres have been the top goal scorers, each scoring two goals. Nine different players have scored for Manchester City. In this game, Manchester City needs the defense to be strong, and hope they can get one or two goals with their defense locking down. 

Manchester City’s defense is elite and they are going to lock down again in this game with that part of their game. I don’t trust Manchester City to win this game, but I expect both offenses are going to really struggle. Back the under to cash.
