Will Liverpool once again be steamrolled by Man City when they face-off this Sunday?

The last time the 2 met, all the way back in September, was arguably the nadir of Liverpool’s season so far. The Reds came away from the Etihad bruised and battered, City inflicting upon them a 5-0 hammering, a result exacerbated by Sadio Mane’s first half sending off. That loss clearly impacted Liverpool’s confidence – they won just one of their next 5 domestic games, culminating with a 4-1 defeat at Tottenham on October 21st.



Yet since that rocky period ended Liverpool have turned into one of the Premier League’s most consistent sides, with 4 draws and 9 wins from their last 13 fixtures. Not that it has particularly helped them points-wise; they currently sit in 4th place, whopping 18 points behind Sunday’s visitors, and in danger of slipping into 5th dependant on how the weekend pans out.

As for City, the worst that can be said about their season is that it’s a shame they couldn’t win at Crystal Palace and continue their record-breaking run. After beating Burnley in the FA Cup last weekend, and Bristol in the EFL Cup on Wednesday, their hopes of a quadruple are still alive, especially since they drew Basel in the Champions League last 16 and basically have the league won already.

Given that 3 of the Premier League’s top scorers are likely to be on the field on Sunday – Mohamed Salah, at a Super Mega PGM of 33-39; Raheem Sterling, at 25-30; and Sergio Aguero, at 49-57 – Spreadex are offering a promising Total Goals spread of 3.25-3.45. As for the result itself, the visitors look set to keep up their unbeaten streak, just, at a Man City/Liverpool (h) Goal Supremacy spread of 0.1-0.3 alongside a Total Goals spread of 3.25-3.45.

There are a couple of other games of interest before that top of the table clash, however. First up is a trip to London for Everton, who face Tottenham on Saturday. Looking at the league table it seems like the Toffees have come on leaps and bounds since Sam Allardyce took over, lifting from 16th to 9th. Yet that doesn’t really tell the whole story – they’re actually only 7 points ahead of Stoke in 18th, while they trail Spurs in 5th by 14.



Tottenham, meanwhile, may be a bit frustrated themselves. Despite having the Premier League’s top scorer – Harry Kane, who sits at a Super Mega PGM of 76-88 – they are still lurking outside the top 4, 3 points behind Liverpool. Admittedly that gap may be closed if the Reds lose to City and Spurs chew up the Toffees, with Spreadex offering a Tottenham/Everton Goal Supremacy spread of 1.65-1.85 alongside a Total Goals spread of 2.85-3.05.

Early Sunday afternoon then sees Arsenal attempt to actually win a game when they travel Bournemouth. Since the start of December the Gunners have been victories 3 times in 11 fixtures in all competitions, a run that’s seen: a league loss to Man United and 5 draws; a lifeless 0-0 EFL Cup semi-final 1st leg against Chelsea; and a humiliating 4-2 FA Cup 3rd round defeat at Nottingham Forest. Worst of all is the constant talk of Alexis Sanchez leaving this January, extra depressing since his Super Mega PGM of 36-42 is only beaten by Alexandre Lacazette’s 48-56.



The trip to Dean Court should, in theory, provide Arsenal with a chance for catharsis. Bournemouth are one of the many (many) sides in the relegation scrap, and have just one win in their last 10 league games. The Gunners, in other words, should be OK, at an Arsenal/Bournemouth (h) Goal Supremacy spread of 0.7-0.9 alongside a Total Goals spread of 3.1-3.3.
