Odds on 1Win: 2.15 (combined)

Liverpool's attacking potency, combined with City's fragility in defence this season, makes this an attractive play. Expect Salah, Nunez, and Gakpo to test City's backline relentlessly. Over 2.5 goals feels likely given Liverpool's average of 2.6 goals in their last 5, and City's concession of 1.4 per match.
