Jones Knows is back with his best bets across the Premier League card with firm focus on Sunday's blockbuster at Anfield, live on Sky Sports.
It was a good one.
The headline was +16 points of profit were gobbled up, taking us to +20 for the season. Those that have stuck with me through some mediocre months are now swimming in winners.
The Leon Bailey-Ollie Watkins assist-goal combo landed at 4/1 with double stakes advised while the weekend treble of Bailey to score or assist, both teams to score and over 2.5 goals in Tottenham vs Crystal Palace and under 2.5 goals in Burnley vs Bournemouth also did the business at 8/1. That's now three winning trebles from the last four weekends.
The game of the season deserves the Jones Knows treatment in terms of a Bet Builder.
In 29 games between the two legendary coaches, Klopp has won 12, Guardiola 11 and there have been six draws.
We're still very early in this 'run-in' period and if you offered both managers a draw now, I think they'd be taking it. There is so much football to be played. There's a strong possibility the game may head down the same avenue as the previous fixture this season that ended 1-1 where the last 30 minutes were a non-event. And the last time these two met in a first vs second battle during a run-in it ended 2-2 in 2022 when City went on to win the Premier League title by one point.
You can get 100/30 with Sky Bet for both teams to score and the game to end in a draw, meaning every correct drawn score is covered apart from the 0-0.
Offsides also look ripe for a bet in this blockbuster encounter and we can combine the draw with offsides to produce a 17/2 shot.
Playing with a high-line and squeezing the game is so important to both these managers, so I'm always interested in the total offside count when teams of this nature and quality meet.
There have been 64 offsides in the last 11 meetings between Liverpool and Manchester City in all competitions - that averages out at 5.8 per game. Yet the market has their total offside line lower than that average with four or more offsides in the match looking a slice of value.
Nottingham Forest look primed to get a result at Brighton owing to their counter-attacking style. The man at the heart of Forest's counters is Anthony Elanga - his lightning pace and dynamite dribbling are perfectly suited for Nuno's counter-attacking style.
Since the former Spurs boss took over in December, Elanga leads the way in all key attacking metrics for Forest: shots (18), shots on target (9), big chances (9) and expected goals (4.1). Yet his goal output of just two goals is lagging behind those impressive underlying numbers.
This underperformance is keeping his goalscorer prices rather chunky and he's a bet this weekend to score at 4/1 with Sky Bet.
