Sunderland - Aston Villa FC

Hello, today I am trying to walk with a limp. Its shape was fallen, but now it is recovering and I believe that after the game against Real Liverpool it will have fully recovered and if it plays like against Real Manchester City will not have a chance today. Good luck!

Liverpool is showing signs of recovery, it is clear that the team is significantly better than their recent results suggest. Salah's performance has been lacking, but there is positivity to be found in other players. They have won against Peru at home and Aston Villa, as well as Real Madrid. Although they only won 1-0 against Real, it could have easily been 3-0 as they dominated in offense. Manchester City is winning everything lately, but they are too dependent on one player and if Haaland is stopped by Liverpool's defense with Van Dijk and Konate, City will have a tough time. Haaland has one of the worst scoring records against Liverpool in the EPL, with only 1 goal in his career back in 2023. Choosing this option, it would be wise to take advantage of early payout opportunities, as a comeback is unlikely.

Since both like to press and attack, I would say that this total is a decent attempt. Although, of course, there could be some caution here, but early goals can make the game even more active for both sides and the corners will often follow one after another. So I think it will be a game of intervals, where both teams will press at certain moments and try to put out the fire as quickly as possible to avoid goals, so the overall total is worth paying attention to.

I am going with City this weekend's harvest. Although Liverpool showed signs of recovery, it is definitely necessary to see it for a longer time to believe that Pulis is not currently a serious contender to defend their title as they have a record of 4 out of 5 defeats in away games this season. City looks good this season, and they have been earning points at Etihad Stadium by winning 6 in a row overall, including against strong teams like Man Utd, Napoli, Dortmund, and even against Bournemouth. I believe the Citizens will show their class and win 3-1.
