Premier League's 13th round will feature a match between Manchester City and Liverpool. The encounter will take place at Etihad Stadium on Saturday, November 25th. The kickoff is scheduled for 13:30 Central European Time.
Manchester City
Manchester City, the English champions, despite a somewhat rocky start, have managed to establish themselves at the top of the league table. In their last two matches, they scored an impressive ten goals but also conceded five. They first thrashed Bournemouth (6-1) and then had a thrilling draw with Chelsea (4-4).
The 'Citizens' are known for scoring the most goals in the Premier League. Guardiola's team has already netted 32 times in 12 league matches. Although they hold just a one-point lead over the second-place team, Manchester City is still considered the main contender for the win.
Liverpool
Liverpool, under Jurgen Klopp's management, currently occupies the second position in the league table, narrowly leading Arsenal in goal difference. They trail league leaders Manchester City by only one point and will face them on Saturday. A victory in this direct match would allow the 'Reds' to take the top spot after the 13th round.
Interestingly, despite just one defeat, Liverpool occasionally stumbles and drops points in seemingly straightforward matches. For instance, a drawn away match against Luton where Liverpool equalized in the dying moments.
While Klopp's team seems to have overcome the crisis of the previous season, doubts linger about their readiness to compete for the championship in the current campaign. Despite being among the leaders, Liverpool lacks consistency.
Interesting facts about the match and head-to-head history
- City has remained undefeated in six consecutive games, conceding only twice.
- Liverpool appears uncertain in their away matches, having secured only one victory in their last five games. Additionally, they both score and concede in all their away matches this season.
- In 11 out of the last 14 head-to-head encounters, both teams have scored.
Prediction
Manchester City is the clear favorite, but previous encounters suggest that betting on total goals might be more prudent. Both teams play attacking and dynamic football. Together, they've scored 59 goals in the Premier League this season. My bet would be over 3 total goals."
