Betting Tip
Manchester City had a strong start of the season and somewhere in mid-season it seemed like they will cruise to another Premier League title. But as the season progressed, Liverpool was playing excellent making a long winning streak and now the Citizens will have to win in the last round to secure the title. Of course, they will do that against a team they have defeated in the last 8 matchups. They have their destiny in their own hands and will go for another win for history.
City usually plays very patiently but this time around they will go from the start and not let time put them under pressure. An easy win of at least two goals differential is expected on Sunday at Etihad Stadium.
