Liverpool are 39/20 to win the match, the draw is 12/5 and Manchester City are 13/10. Most people will see City as worthy favourites but when you delve a little deeper, there could well be value in avoiding that way of thinking.
The Merseyside club sit bottom of the Premier League, but they generally don’t do too badly against the likes of Manchester City, especially at ‘fortress’ Anfield.

Liverpool have not lost to City in ten home matches and they have won six times in the process, giving us encouraging signs that a bet favouring the Reds could well be the way to go here.
Okay, they got stuffed by West Brom last weekend, but City struggled past Southampton and the start of the season throws up some really strange results.
Remember exactly 12 months ago? To the day? If I was an Arsenal fan I would 8-2 be reminded of that particular game (sorry, Gooners).
Liverpool have not lost to City in ten home matches and they have won six times in the process, giving us encouraging signs that a bet favouring the Reds could well be the way to go here.
So history says Liverpool do not lose this fixture at Anfield and that makes a bet on Liverpool in the 2way market a pretty solid option at 11/10.
In other words, if the match finishes a draw, you get your stake back as the bet is void – so that added insurance is a welcome bonus. With Sergio Aguero sidelined for City and a boisterous Anfield crowd roaring on the home side, it would be no surprise to see Liverpool climb off the bottom of the table with a win here.
If you’re feeling brave ahead of the match, back Liverpool to win at 39/20. If you want the added insurance of getting your money back if the game finishes all square, back Liverpool on the 2way market at 11/10. And if you use the free £20 bet you get for opening a new bwin account on this latter selection, you could win £42.
