Well this is the biggest match of the season and although it may not decide the title it could go a long way to helping. Let's have a look at the stats

The graded analysis for Liverpool reads (W3D3L3). They have scored in 8/9 and conceded in 8/9. They have scored 17 goals and conceded 13 goals.
The graded analysis for Man City reads (W4D2L3). They have scored in 7/9 and conceded in 7/9. They have scored 15 goals and conceded 11 goals.
This match is a hard one call. Liverpool do just edge the stats, but both teams have been goal machines this season. There is actually value in backing Liverpool, but they do not have a great H2H record against Man City with only 1 win in the last 5 at Anfield. There is no value in backing city. At first glance there does appear to be value in LTD looking at this seasons form and the graded analysis. However, the H2H's do not look good with 6 draws in the last 11 meetings and 4 of the last 5 at Anfield being draws.
I think for this one I will have a small back of the draw at 3.75
I will also lay the HT 0-0 score as 12/12 home matches for Liverpool have had a first half goal and 11/12 of City's away matches have had a first half goal so the odds should be around 24 and they are 4.2
