A defiant mentality from the visitors may be just as likely – and using the draw in a Bet Builder may be the best course of action.City have made a flawless start to the season on the pitch, winning seven consecutive matches in all competitions. Meanwhile Liverpool have failed to beat Nottingham Forest and Fulham in their last two home league games.A high-scoring draw with over 3.5 goals could be on the cards, with two of Liverpool’s four home matches producing more than three goals and City’s last two outings also going over that mark.Round off the bet builder with Erling Haaland to score at any time. The Norwegian has overcome the small issue which forced him to come off when playing for Norway last Sunday and he has netted seven times in his last five club matches.AccaCrystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest – DrawHull vs Everton – DrawLiverpool vs Manchester City – Draw Odds – 40/1All three of Sunday’s Premier League fixtures look likely to be close contests, with no outstanding favourites, so there is every incentive to go for a draw treble.Palace drew 0-0 at Leeds in their last game before the international break, while Forest have shared the spoils in two of their last four assignments.Everton have drawn three of their last four top-flight matches while opponents Hull have been held in two of their last three league fixtures.Liverpool have drawn two of their last three league matches and they should make life tough for City at Anfield.talkSPORT BET – Bet £10 Get £40 + A Boost Token – CLAIM HERE*Odds correct at time of publish and subject to change.Commercial content notice: Taking one of the bookmaker offers featured in this article may result in a payment to talkSPORT. 18+.
