THE Premier League title won't be decided at the Etihad today but a win for either side will go a long way to determining the destination of the trophy.
Man City hold a slender one point lead over rivals Liverpool and there's been little to choose between the sides over the last few seasons. In fact, over the last four seasons a single point is all that separates them. City narrowly lead with 338 points from 144 games, while Liverpool have 337.
It'll be fine margins that decides the title and it could be fine margins that decide the outcome of today's match.
BBC Sport published a fascinating piece of analysis based on research by Data experts Nielsen Gracenote and FBref on how the numbers might help us pick a winner this afternoon. Key findings include;
- Liverpool are now taking more shots than in any of the six previous seasons – 557 goal attempts in 2021-22, an increase of nearly 30% compared to this stage of last season
- Defensively they are the top two teams in terms of allowing fewest shots again this season. City have only allowed 67 on target in 30 games. Liverpool are second with only 83 allowed
- City complete more passes – 91,644 over the past four seasons compared with 79,683 for Liverpool
- Over the past four seasons Man City have held the upper hand in the fixture, winning three and drawing three of the seven matches
Home advantage makes City the favourites at 21/20 and they've not lost to the Reds at the Etihad under Guardiola but is that about to change today? Liverpool have been building momentum and have rarely been in better shape to win there. Klopp's men have only tasted defeat once this year, and even then they could afford to do so, against Inter Milan when they were already two goals to the good from the first leg.
With nothing between the sides it's worth taking a punt on the Reds at 13/5 (SBK). Their front three are amongst the most deadly in the world and a match for any defence. If you're being offered those odds on Liverpool at the moment they have to be worth taking, even if it is against the highest ranked team in Europe at the moment.
Fulham can open up a 13 point lead at the top of the Championship and a degree of revenge could be on their minds this afternoon. Coventry beat the Cottagers 4-1 when the sides met back in October but it could be a very different story this afternoon.
The Sky Blues have won just one of their last eight and sit mid-table while Fulham will be desperate to take another step closer to promotion and the title. 38 goal Aleksander Mitrovic can help them to a win at 1/2 but the 13/8 on them scoring more than two goals for the 16th time this campaign.
In Scotland, Celtic heaped the pressure on to Rangers with a scintilating 7-0 win over relegation-threatened St Johnstone. The Hoops didn't let up following their win at Ibrox and now sit nine points clear of their Glasgow rivals.
The Gers simply must respond today in Paisley where they visit St Mirren. Results didn't go the Buddies' way on Saturday so a top six finish is beyond them but they need to be careful not to be drawn in to a relegation battle.
Defeat to Braga on Thursday failed to lift the mood at Ibrox and anything other than three points this lunchtime would all but end their title defence. Alfredo Morelos is proving a big miss for Giovanni Van Bronckhorst's men but there's enough talent elsewhere in the squad to find goals versus St Mirren, against whom they've scored two or more in each of their last six meetings.
Rangers have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last four and only managed to shut out their opponents in four of 15 away games in the league so BTTS appeals at 6/5.

Racing Tips
A quiet day for Rizzel on Sunday with just one selection in the Hollywoodbets Alleged Stakes (Group 3) at the Curragh
The Masters Golf Tips
Scottie Scheffler continues to lead the way at Augusta, at least at the time of writing. The Caddy's main tip for The Masters holds a four-stroke lead thru 13 with Cameron Smith providing the closest challenge. It's all to play for going in to the final and those of us who have backed The Caddy's tip will be hoping Scheffler can keep his cool and hold on to that lead on Sunday. Best of luck!

Night owl/LONGSHOT
🇦🇷🇺🇦🇦🇷🇺🇦🇦🇷
Racing de Cordoba V Crucero del Norte
00:30
Argentine Torneo A
crucero del norte to score 7-4 (UNIBET)
BTTS 11-4 (HILLS)
Very long shot BTTS and over 2.5 goals 9-2 (HILLS)
Racing finished top last season, crucero bottom hence the match odds.
Crucero have won their 1st 2 games this season, and scored at home to racing last season but lost 3-0 here.
Historically that 3-0 was the only game crucero didn’t score v racing in 7 head to heads
Probably scraping the barrel but worth a small investment…..
Probably be 1-0 or 2-0 but hoping for 2-1
🇦🇷🇺🇦🇦🇷🇺🇦🇦🇷
That was a decent recoup Elvis, nice👍
Excellent – thanks Elvis! Nice way to finish the night (or to start Sunday).
Cheers guys,
Which bet did you take asotosyios ??
BTTS price stuck out as too big didn’t it. The lowest price I saw was 2-1.
3-1 now an unusually high scoring game for this league
Not full stakes by any means but 7-4 11-4 and 9-2 made it worthwhile 👍
I went with both BTTS and BTTS + over 2.5. Small stakes, but enough for some pints today after another (hopefully) Fulham win.
Main bet
Kristiansund win first half or second half odds 1.62
My accumulator for today
Kristiansund win first half or second half odds 1.62
Leipzig – Hoffenheim 2-5 match goals
Holstein – Hamburg x2 Hamburg can win
Sassuolo – Atalanta 2-5 match goals
Bodo Glim win first half or second half odds 1.37
Great shout Elvis 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Not a bit write up after last week’s disastrous effort in Greece, but I will have a small stake effort tonight at the corners between AEK Athens and Aris Salonika.
Aris’ matches do not feature that many cornes, but AEK Athens can win enough depending on the nature of the game: they won 6 last week away at Olympiakos (11 total corners for both teams).
AEK Athens have won at least 6 corners in 8 of their last 11 games (9, 3, 8, 10, 7, 6, 12, 5, 7, 5 and 6) and there were at least 9 total corners in 9 of their last 11 games (17, 8, 14, 16, 9, 12, 13, 7, 8, 9 and 11).
17.30 Greece Super League 1; AEK Athens – Aris Salonika (all bets with Bet365)
Over 8 match corners @1.80
Over 5 corners for AEK Athens @2.37
Small stakes
Over 9 match corners @ 2.25
Over 6 corners for AEK Athens @3.40
Also, over 1.5 match goals:
17.00 Giannina – Panathinaikos
17.30 AEK Athens – Aris Salonika
Double @ 2.25
Good luck everyone!
Posted on Friday and still very happy with this..
City v Pool Sunday
Pool have to be backed here at the prices, their odds are far too generous imo.. won’t back the win but their odds for goals and corners are far too tempting.. my main bets will be as follows;
1+ mg 4+ Pool corners 4/6
1+ mg 5+ Pool corners 13/10
1+ mg 6+ Pool corners 9/4
1+ mg 7+ Pool corners 4/1
2+ Pool goals is 6/4 too and I’ll be on that, crazy price
All bet365.. BOL

Anybody know what happened to the Union Saint-Gilloise game ? It was 0-0 (crazily enough) but then suspended at 82mins and went off ?
It was Abandoned due to spectator riots
Thanks Martin, what happens if I had that game as part of an Acca ?
Should be counted as a non runner but different bookies have different rules
For example if its re-played within 24 hours
Thanks Martin, my bet was with William Hill
I think with William Hill your bet will stand for 36 hours and then classed as a non-runner if no result of the abandoned match has been declared.
Others on this site who use William Hill may be able to confirm
