🏆 The Premier League title race takes centre stage this weekend as Liverpool host Manchester City at Anfield in what promises to be a monumental clash. With Liverpool potentially going 11 points clear at the top with a win, the stakes couldn’t be higher for Man City. With their shock 4-0 loss to Tottenham last weekend on top of their two previous losses in the Prem (five now in all tournaments) they are now in unchartered territory, and the season’s narrative has shifted significantly.
City’s Slip-Up: A Defining Moment?
Manchester City’s heavy defeat to Tottenham last weekend continues a turning of fortunes in the title race. This unexpected result saw City’s title chances take a nosedive, a shift our algorithmic predictions had already begun to account for given their recent run of poor form. While both ourselves and the bookmakers initially had City as odds on favourites for their 5th title in a row, their recent performances have steadily dropped them out of favour as top dogs.
Liverpool, on the other hand, have capitalised on City’s missteps with clinical performances that have pushed them closer to the top. Should they secure a victory this weekend, they would open up an 11-point gap over City, a huge margin this early in the season.
Proven Success in Identifying Value
Our algorithm has been a standout performer this season, correctly identifying value across a range of fixtures and leagues, in a variety of sports. From pinpointing the likelihood of Scotland beating Australia in rugby to accurately finding value in lesser-followed leagues like Polish and Swiss football, the system continues to deliver reliable insights.
The continued long term success of our predictive system demonstrates its reliability. The algorithm considers critical data such as recent form, head-to-head statistics, and home advantage, comparing these to the bookmakers odds to identify mispricings in leagues around the world.

Build-Up to a Massive Encounter
As the football world turns its focus to Anfield, the implications of this match extend far beyond three points. For Liverpool, a win would put them in a commanding position at the top of the table, meanwhile for City, the result could have season defining implications. Win – and they emphatically prove they are still contenders, beating their biggest rivals on their own turf. Lose – and their losing spiral continues, and they fall 11 points behind – a huge gap at this stage of the season.
The build-up to the clash has been electric, with City’s recent loss amplifying the pressure. The narrative of their 4-0 defeat to Tottenham combined with Liverpool’s relentless form sets the stage for a potentially decisive weekend in the Premier League.
As you can see below at the moment it doesn’t look there is any value in the match from a bookmakers perspective – they see it very similar to how our algorithm sees it – but watch out for odds over 2.87 on Liverpool, 3.97 on City and 4.29 on the draw. Those are the thresholds the Algorithm has identified. Our system will continue to scan for value, and show the best odds we have found out there and you can see the below analysis for all matches around the world.
Stay tuned for further updates as the action unfolds. And remember, while the data provides guidance, the thrill of football lies in its unpredictability!
