Premier League Matchday 28 Preview: All Eyes on Liverpool & Man City

The top two teams in the Premier League put their title credentials on the line this weekend in a clash that could be pivotal to the destination of the trophy.

Liverpool head into the game at Anfield on top of the table, one point ahead of reigning champions Manchester City with 11 matches remaining.

The fixture is guaranteed to generate a ton of interest on football betting sites and picking a winner is no easy task given each team’s current form. 

Read on as we look at some of the best Premier League games for Matchday 28 to highlight the key betting angles to consider.

Highlights

  • Top two clash is too close to call.
  • Villa and Spurs set for top four test.
  • Goals market worth another punt.

Nothing to Choose Between Title Chasers

Man City have won two and drawn one of their last three meetings with Liverpool and have been tipped by the top UK betting apps to emerge victorious on Sunday.

However, Liverpool are unbeaten at home this season and will be desperate to maintain that record with the title race heading towards the business end.

On that basis, odds of 29/10 for this crucial fixture to finish all-square looks to be the sensible play for sports bettors this weekend.

Villa Aiming to Strengthen Grip on Fourth Place

Aston Villa host Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday aiming to boost their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League at the end of the season.

Unai Emery’s side are five points head of Spurs heading into the game, but the visitors have a played a game fewer than their top four rivals.

If Villa avoid defeat this weekend, odds of 5/6 to finish in the top four on several leading UK betting sites will likely disappear.

Over 1.5 Goals Market Looks Tempting

Liverpool’s 1-0 victory at Nottingham Forest ended our hopes of delivering a tasty ten-fold prediction in the over 1.5 goals market last weekend.

Punters can gain compensation this weekend by wagering on all ten Premier League matches to have over 1.5 goals.

Odds of around 9/2 on new betting sites are worth chancing given that 0-0 and 1-0 scorelines have been a rare occurrence this season.
