Bookmaker Ratings prediction two – Manchester City win and Total Goals over 2.5 – 1.60
The last Premier League meeting between the teams saw Man City triumph 7-0 at Etihad Stadium. However, the result is unlikely to be closer to the previous one, but there is no doubt the visitors should earn another three points here.
Both teams have seen more than 2.5 goals in 8 of their last 10 meetings. Moreover, Cityzens have scored over 2.5 goals in four of their last five matches in all competitions.
We think Man City will show no mercy against Leeds United, as Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool are just one point behind them, knowing goal difference might have a chance of deciding the title.
Coming into this game, Leeds United played out a 0:0 draw with Crystal Palace in their last league game, which means The Whites are undefeated in their last five fixtures. While not yet safe from relegation, Jesse March’s side are ending the season well.
However, Leeds fans should be worried, as the coming weeks will be decisive.
After this match, the Whites will travel to London, where there will face Arsenal at Emirates Stadium, and a few days later, Leeds will host Chelsea. So it would be no surprise if they pick up zero points in their next three matches. If this happens, Leeds could find themselves in serious trouble.

On the other hand, the leaders of the Premier League, Manchester City, played out a dramatic 4-3 win over Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals in the first leg at the Etihad Stadium. Before next week’s trip to Madrid, they have to visit Elland Road this Saturday.
The recent victory over Watford (5:1) at home in their previous Premier League fixture extended their undefeated streak to seven. Meanwhile, Liverpool keep the pressure on Man City at the top of the Premier League table and will push Pep Guardiola’s side this weekend too. Cityzens hold a one-point advantage over the Reds in the Premier League, 80 points to 79.
