Back brilliant patriotic 100/1 bet on Man City, Liverpool and Man Utd

Liverpool win Europa League

Likewise with Man City, Liverpool were superb across both legs to knock out a tricky team (Borussia Dortmund), and they did so in the most thrilling fashion.

At 2-0 and 3-1 down in the second leg at Anfield, after a 1-1 draw in Germany, many would have written the Reds off, but four second-half goals secured their place in the Europa League semis against Villarreal.

Being dubbed the ‘Yellow Submarine derby’, Liverpool should be able to make lighter work of the Spaniards, who don’t possess nearly as much talent as Dortmund.

Following this battle, Jurgen Klopp’s men would have to face the winner of Sevilla or Shakhtar Donetsk, and being the 13/8 favourites there should be little worry of this part of the bet coming off.

Manchester United finish fourth

Man Utd are currently four points off rivals City, with six games of the season to go, but the two teams’ fixture list suggests that the former have by far an easier ride, despite being 11/4 chances to finish in the top four.

Louis van Gaal’s men have four home matches in their last six of the campaign, while the Citizens face just two.

On top of that, United face just two fixtures against current top 10 teams (Leicester City and West Ham United, who they just beat in the FA Cup), compared to City’s four (Chelsea, Stoke City, Southampton and Arsenal).

As stated above too, the Citizens’ main focus now is the Champions League, which means they’ll rest players in the Premier League in their bid to go all the way.

So, a fourth place spot for the Red Devils is more than on the cards, and Man City will be happy to settle for fifth by winning the Champions League anyway, as it would still mean qualifying for the competition next season at the expense of their bitter rivals.
