Sunday’s Football Tips: Reds to Keep City at Bay in Title Race

It’s not often you’ll see Liverpool at 2/1 to win at Anfield but it’s a measure of the injuries Jurgen Klopp has had to contend with, and of course the quality of today’s opponents, Manchester City.



Matip, Jota, Jones, Gravenberch, Alisson, Alexander-Arnold and Alcantra are all on the Reds’ injury list with Joe Gomez and Ibrahima Konate both touch and go to make it today but the good news is that Mohamed Salah is available again.

It’s a fixture the Egyptian really enjoys. He’s scored 11 and assisted seven in his last 19 games against City and could be the catalyst for the Merseysiders this afternoon.

Liverpool have only lost one of the last 20 meetings between the sides at Anfield and look a touch overpriced on home soil.

Yes, City are pulling out win after win but they’ve yet to reach top gear. In the context of the title race it’s a game that neither side will want to lose and the draw is 11/4. But we can keep the draw on our side by backing Liverpool in the draw no bet market at 6/5.

Aston Villa can stake a massive claim for a top four finish with a win over nearest challengers Tottenham in today’s early game on Sky Sports.

A win would give Unai Emery’s side an eight-point cushion, albeit Spurs would have a game in hand.

Betting on goals seems the obvious route here, only Newcastle’s games see more goals than these two but the bookies aren’t giving anything away with Over 2.5 Goals at a miserable 1/3.

Olly Watkins boasts the most goal involvements in the Premier League (26) and Bet365 offer 11/8 having two or more shots on target in the game – his 39 SOTs in 27 appearances is second only to Erling Halang.

Brendan Rodgers will be aiming to extend his unbeaten run in the Scottish Cup to 15 games as Celtic welcome Livingston along the M8.

Despite some indifferent form this should be a routine win for the Hoops. Back them to win to nil whilst scoring at least two at 10/11.

Rangers’ terrific 2-2 draw at Benfica was the perfect way to bounce back from last week’s defeat to Motherwell.

The Gers are chasing a quadruple to which they can take a step closer at Easter Road this evening. They’re unbeaten in 12 in Leith and have put seven past Hibs without reply in the two meetings this season. Another win to nil could be on the cards at 13/8.
