Liverpool versus Manchester City - April 1st, Saturday
Liverpool is riding on a slippery slope of sadness this season, and nothing seems to be going their way.
Jurgen Klopp’s crew is seriously in need of changes within the squad and there is clear discontent with current conditions within the organization.
The Reds are still a few points off Champions League spots, and their main focus must be to maintain good enough form in the Premier League.
After realizing a huge loss to Real Madrid in the Champions League, Liverpool has no more excuses to try and scrape together several wins over the next few weeks of the season.
Mohammed Salah and Darwin Nunez need to be on form in order to score goals and create chances, but they are being finished at a level below usual.
Defensively, Liverpool will feel the wrath of this City attack and they will need to tighten up.
Manchester City and Pep Guardiola are looking to finish atop of the league once again but are a few wins off the league leaders in Arsenal.
The Blues are creating a ton of noise with their current form, although the injury status to star man Erling Haaland is currently unknown.
The fitness of the team will be a huge question for this game.
Most of their players will be ready for the challenge, though, and they will feel that it is more than necessary to come out with a win here.
A draw isn’t in their thinking, and for good reason.
Betting Prediction - Man City ML and the over 2.5 on goals scored.
Newcastle versus Manchester United - April 2nd, Sunday
Newcastle and Manchester United will face up for a rematch of their EFL Cup just a month ago.
The two sides are top four candidates, with United being the likelier squad to make a real push for their firm positioning.
Newcastle United are currently suffering a rough patch but this match could be an end-all, be-all if they are able to win.
Both squads play with a ton of flair on attack, so this match should be fiery out the gate.
The team who scores first will likely be pounded by attacking, so prepare for a great match with twists and turns.
Betting Prediction - Over 2.5 goals only in this matchup, the sides might be risky.
