Omar Marmoush scored a hat-trick for Manchester City last weekend as they thrashed Newcastle United 4-0 at the Etihad Stadium.

The Over 2.5 Goals market has landed in all of Manchester City’s last five matches, as well as in four of Liverpool’s last five games.

In the reverse fixture at Anfield, Liverpool took seven corners to City’s four.

Liverpool enters this game as favourite to win the match itself, as they’re yet to taste defeat on the road in the Premier League this campaign, having won nine and drawn five of their 14 games away from Anfield, scoring 36 and conceding just 16 in the process.

As previously mentioned, the Over 2.5 Goals market has come off in all of City’s last five matches, as well as in four of Liverpool’s last five.

Trent Alexander-Arnold has been shown four yellow cards in 25 Premier League appearances for Liverpool this season.

Alexis Mac Allister has received six bookings across 25 Premier League matches for Liverpool.

Bernardo Silva has received five yellow cards in 23 league matches for City this season, on top of the eight bookings he was shown in 33 games last campaign.

Could we see a heavy Liverpool win at the Etihad Stadium like that of the 2015/16 season, when they last emerged victorious on the blue half of Manchester in a Premier League fixture?

When these two sides faced off at Anfield, Liverpool managed seven shots on target to City’s two, as well as seven corner kicks to City’s four, however, City did commit one less foul - eight to Liverpool’s nine. This could well be worth a punt at odds of 200/1.
