Manchester City and Liverpool only have difference of one point and indeed this match is form of competition for the top of the standings which is currently still occupied by Manchester City and when Manchester City manages to win the match they will be even further ahead in terms points.
But looking at how the two teams have competed so far this season there is possibility of draw and if there is win for one of the teams then the win will only be by narrow score like difference of just one goal.
The match will take place tomorrow and until now I am still hesitant to choose who is the favorite because match with two strong teams like this is very difficult to predict with more certainty.
So the bookmakers have a favorite, it is Manchester City with odds of x1.75 to win. A Liverpool win is currently at x4.2, so the difference is very big, which is of course also due to the fact that Cioty is playing at home. If I look at the last matches of both teams, then I would almost say that Liverpool is better, although they recently lost 3:2 against Toulouse.
