Liverpool to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n7\/5 @ Matchbook<\/a>
(41.7%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nLiverpool have lost just one of their last 22 Premier League home games against Manchester City (W14 D7), with that defeat coming the only time they hosted them as reigning champions (1-4 in February 2021). City have looked far from watertight in recent weeks and the exciting duo of Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike can cause Pep Guardiola’s side serious issues. With more time to prepare for this clash, the vote goes to Liverpool.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Bernardo Silva to be carded<\/strong><\/td>\n11\/4 @ Sky Bet<\/a>
(41.7%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nBernardo Silva has been booked five times in the Premier League this season, along with a further three in the Champions League and one in the Carabao Cup. Looking at his record against Liverpool and he has been booked in five of the last seven meetings between the pair. The Anfield crowd will look to get under his skin on Sunday and it would be no surprise to see him collect another caution here.  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
