You Bet | Liverpool hope to continue big-six form against Manchester City as Tottenham look to halt Chelsea’s winning run
With an average of more than three goals a game at Anfield this season, the Reds have a good chance of victory at home against Pep Guardiola’s side
A couple of blockbusters straddle the turn of the year in the English Premier League, with Liverpool v Manchester City Sunday morning (Hong Kong time) and Tottenham v Chelsea next Wednesday night.
The Tottenham match is a potential stopping point for Chelsea’s winning run, which stands at 12 matches and counting, but by then it could have stretched to 13 with a home victory over Stoke on Saturday and their lead at the top might have grown further too.
If Chelsea win, their advantage will remain the same only if Liverpool – currently trailing by six points in second place – also record a home victory over City. Any other result combined with a Chelsea win would increase the lead to seven points or more.
Liverpool have a good chance of victory at Anfield, where they have compiled the third-best home record in the Premier League (behind Chelsea and Tottenham) with six wins and two draws in eight matches.
They are the highest home scorers at an average of more than three goals per game and their +18 goal difference is bettered only by Chelsea.
