Before the final day game, City were sitting on top of the premier league table with 90 points closely followed by Liverpool who had 89 points.

Aston Villa’s manager Steven Gerard was keen on doing his former club a massive favor by defeating the title rival in the title-deciding game at Etihad, thanks to goals from Cash and Coutinho that put the visitors ahead before the break.

Liverpool were not finding it easy playing against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Anfield. The home team conceded an early and kept pressing until they got an equalizer via Sadio Mane’s strike. The Reds were level at Half-time and would have needed just a goal to clinch the title if the scoreline remains the same.

With 15 minutes left to the end of the game, Man City launched the greatest comeback of the tournament when they scored three goals in five minutes to clinch their sixth premier league title. However, Liverpool were 3-1 winners at Anfield but were only second to Man city as the season came to an interesting end.

According to a press released by Jurgen Klopp, Arnold has sustained an ankle injury while Matip has sustained a calf injury and both players will be out for two to three weeks.

Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are yet to return to the squad as both player are nursing hamstring injuries. Arthur Melo also picked a muscle injury this week and will be out of the squad to welcome Man City on Sunday.

Liverpool vs Man City prediction

This is quite a difficult game to predict, one may say Liverpool are not in good form but the Reds have not lost any of their previous four matches against Manchester City in all competitions (W2 D2). However, Man City have not lost any game since the beginning of the season, and do not look like they are ready to lose this one.

Yes, the citizens lost to Liverpool in the 2022 Community Shield but you will;l agree with me that Man City is the most dreaded team to play against in the Premier League right now.

After a 7-1 victory against Rangers in the Midweek, Liverpool will be heading into the Sunday encounter shoulder-high with the hope of giving the visitors the shock of their lives. But if the Reds put up their porous defense line as usual, then Man City will be partying around Anfield on Sunday.

Our team of Expert punters have predicted the game as a match full of goals, hence it is safe to play it GG, over 2.5 and risk takers can consider Man City to win at the end of 90 minutes.

Prediction: Liverpool 2-2 Man City

Aston Villa vs Chelsea score prediction

Graham Potter is now enjoying life at Chelsea and is expected to pick up all three points at Villa Park on Sunday. Although the villains will not like to take a defeat in front of their home fans the visitors will do all that is needed to take home all three points.

Despite the difficulty of the game, our expert punters have put together a series of options to make good returns on your stakes. There will not be many goals in the game, as such, it is safe to play it under 3.5, Chelsea wins or draw and under 4.5 or if you are a risk taker, Away to win is a good option and Under 2.5 is not bad at all.

Although it’s going to be a tough game at Villa Park we see Chelsea coming out victorious at the end of 90 minutes.
