Correct score
Man City 1-0 Liverpool
The model's likeliest scoreline. Exact-score markets pay well and land rarely, so stake lightly.
How do the two teams set up?
Confirmed line-ups land about an hour before kick-off.
Home
Manchester City
A side with title-level depth. Man City tend to suffocate opponents at Etihad Stadium, so Liverpool will need a disciplined, low block.
Away
Liverpool
Liverpool are built to control games. They should hold most of the ball on their trip to Etihad Stadium and pin Man City back for long periods.
What would change our mind?
The developments we would react to before kick-off.
If Man City name a weakened XI
Rotation or a key absence would take several points off their win chance; check line-ups an hour before kick-off.
If Liverpool score first
The favourite has to chase, and both the draw and the upset become much more likely.
If a red card comes in the first hour
Ten men changes the expected-goals picture entirely, whichever side it hits.
