Madrid could triumph over City in an exciting Champions League match with many goals.
In the highly-anticipated Champions League showdown, Carlo Ancelotti and his Manchester City team are set to face off against Pep Guardiola and Real Madrid at the Bernabeu Stadium. Despite City's dominating 4-0 win over Newcastle on Saturday, their first leg against Real ended in a disappointing 3-2 loss due to a recurring issue of conceding late goals. This trend has been a cause of concern for the team, as seen in their struggles against lower-tier teams like Leyton Orient and Brentford in the FA Cup.

However, City's recent signings, Omar Marmoush and Nico Gonzalez, have brought a new sense of hope to the team. Marmoush's hat-trick against Newcastle and Gonzalez's impressive performance in midfield have raised expectations that City can pull off an upset against a Real side that has been struggling in recent weeks. Despite their poor record at the Bernabeu, City's attacking prowess and Real's shaky defense make for a potentially high-scoring match.

In fact, many bookmakers are predicting over 4.5 goals in the game, with Real Madrid winning and both teams scoring being another popular bet. Jude Bellingham, who scored against City in their previous encounter, is also a top pick to find the back of the net for Real, along with Phil Foden for City.

Meanwhile, in the Premier League, Liverpool's fight on multiple fronts could be detrimental to their chances of winning silverware. Similar to their previous season under Jurgen Klopp, where they won the Carabao Cup but fell short in other competitions due to fatigue, the Reds have been looking shaky recently. After crashing out of the FA Cup and dropping points against Everton, they now face a difficult away match against Aston Villa.

Despite being the league leaders, Liverpool may struggle to secure a win against Villa, who have been in good form recently. The draw seems like a safe bet, with Mohamed Salah being a top pick to score yet again for Liverpool. However, Villa's Morgan Rogers is also in good form and could potentially find the back of the net for the fifth consecutive match.

In other news, Luton Town and Plymouth Argyle are gearing up for a crucial match in their fight for survival in the Championship. Luton, who have only managed to secure two points out of the last 30, will be facing a confident Plymouth side who have had impressive wins against top teams like West Brom and Liverpool. Despite their poor away record, Plymouth's recent form makes them an attractive bet at 4/1 odds.
