Liverpool and Manchester City cleared up on the domestic trophy front last season, with the Reds claiming the League Cup and FA Cup, while City edged out their rivals to retain their Premier League trophy.
This season, it looks like the title could be heading to the Etihad once more, with Liverpool stuttering in the league, sitting in tenth place ahead of the weekend. But if any team can use a huge match to springboard into form, it is Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool.
And this Sunday, bet365 are marking one of the most highly anticipated games of the season, with an unbelievable offer for new and eligible customers. A free £5 bet will be credited into verified accounts on Friday, ready for use pre-match or in-play.
How the free £5 bet works:
1. Add your chosen Liverpool v Manchester City selection to the bet slip.
2. Tick the Free Bet box.
Any returns from bets placed using the Free Bet will be added to your withdrawable balance but the Free Bet stake is not included in any returns.
Only one Free Bet will be awarded per bet slip. When placing your Free Bet, do not include selections from any other event on the bet slip. If you are placing your Free Bet on Liverpool v Manchester City, your bet slip should only include a selection for that event. £5 free bet or currency equivalent.

Manchester City are odds-on to win at Anfield this weekend and 7/4 to take maximum points off Liverpool for the first time since the 1936/37 campaign when they won their first ever top flight title, scoring 107 goals in the process.
bet365′s Steve Freeth said: “Winning titles is like shelling peas for Manchester City these days, but it’s hard to believe you have to go back 85 years for the last time they completed the double over Liverpool.
“A lot has changed since the Community Shield defeat just a few months ago in a game where Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mohamed Salah both shone and Darwin Nunez upstaged fellow new signing Erling Haaland with the Norwegian scrutinised for taking just 16 touches.
“So much in fact, that I don’t recall the Citizens ever being odds-on to win at Anfield, such is the contrasting fortunes of the two clubs at the moment.”
bet365 make Pep Guardiola’s charges a 2/1 chance to break their own Premier League scoring record of 106 and 5/2 to surpass their points total of 100, both of which they managed during the title winning season of 2017/18.
