Liverpool vs. Manchester City Bet Builder Tips: Back this 11/1 double for Sunday's game from Anfield

Liverpool and Manchester City face each other for the first time in the Premier League this season as the two rivals meet at Anfield on Sunday. The game is live on Sky at 4:30pm and here at BettingOdds.com we’ve taken a look at some player stats that will hopefully lead to some profitable punting on Sunday.

We’ve taken a look at shots, goals, cards, and tackles and have put together a Bet Builder that we like the look of. The double can be backed at 11/1 with bet365 at the time of writing.

Bet365 have a free £5 bet available for the game on Sunday which is available to both new and existing customers. This 11/1 Bet Builder we’ve put together looks strong considering the data behind it and we are kicking things off with Phil Foden to get on the scoresheet. 

Manchester City may have only won on one of their last 19 trips to Anfield but we can see them scoring a good few goals on Sunday considering Liverpool have various injuries and are already 14 points off the top of the table. 

Phil Foden has been in outstanding form for City this term, which bodes well for England with the World Cup just around the corner. Still just at the age of 22, Foden has scored six league goals in nine appearances this season, also adding another in his only Champions League start of the campaign so far.

Looking back at recent meetings between these two sides, Foden has a strong record against Jurgen Klopp’s men. In his last four league starts against Liverpool, Foden has scored on three occasions with two of those coming in separate matches at Anfield. With this in mind quotes of 3/1 for him to score anytime in the match look appealing on Sunday.

We’ve also selected one player to be carded in the match who can hopefully find their way into referee Anthony Taylor’s notebook. Fabinho is the man we are targeting here and looking back at last season, no Liverpool player was carded more with the Brazilian picking up seven cautions in 29 league appearances. 

Fabinho is averaging 1.3 fouls per game in 2022/2023 and has been shown just one yellow in his eight league outings so far. However, looking back at his disciplinary record over his career, he has been shown more yellows against Manchester City than any other club. In total, Fabinho has been given six cautions in 11 appearances against Liverpool including in all three of his most recent Premier League meetings! 

All things considered, this 11/1 poke looks a wise play for one of the biggest matches of the season. You will also be able to find a full preview of the match from one our expert tipsters that will be live on site this weekend. Good luck to those following, please gamble responsibly.
