Liverpool vs Man City
Tip 1: Alexis Mac Allister - 1pt
Best odds of 18/5 at BetVictor while publishing.
Alexis Mac Allister is a strong yellow card candidate because he is often the one asked to break up counters when Liverpool’s press is bypassed. He gets pulled into tactical fouls in central areas, especially in games where the opposition look to play direct and transition quickly.
His recent discipline record backs it up too, with three bookings in his last eight Premier League matches. He has also committed 1, 1, 0, 2 and 1 fouls in his last five games, which keeps him consistently in the referee’s line of sight. If this match becomes stretched, he is one of the likeliest Liverpool midfielders to take the booking for the team.
Tip 2: Antoine Semenyo - 1pt
Best odds of 4/1 available at Paddy Power while publishing.
Semenyo is a strong yellow card angle because he plays on the edge physically and is one of the most foul-prone wingers in the Premier League. He is averaging 1.9 fouls per game this season, which is an unusually high number for a wide attacker and reflects how often he gets dragged into challenges. Before leaving Bournemouth, he was booked in four of his nine league appearances, showing a clear pattern of disciplinary risk.
Now in Manchester City colours, that risk could rise even further as he adjusts to a more intense tactical setup and quicker transitions. His first outing against Liverpool is also a tough environment to settle into, with the speed of play and constant pressure likely to force him into reactive fouls. If he gets pinned back against a direct full-back or is forced into recovery runs, a booking becomes a very realistic outcome.
