It isn’t uncommon, looking back through history, to find players who
have plied their trade at a number of Premier League clubs, and when the
fixture list throws up a classic such as Liverpool and Manchester City,
we at Coral find it irresistible to look back at famous names, with
City 7/5 with Coral to win this latest battle.
As a result, we have come up with five forwards who have played for both Liverpool and Manchester City.
Daniel Sturridge
The 25-year-old started his career at Man City, before being sold to
Chelsea who recognised an opportunity to add more young English talent
to their ranks. Having just come back from a long injury lay-off,
Sturridge is 7/4 with Coral to net anytime against Manuel Pellegrini’s side.
Robbie Fowler
A Liverpool legend, upon leaving the club where he started his career
and scored 120 goals in 236 appearances, Fowler went on to play for
Leeds United and Man City where he netted 20 in 80, before making a
sensational return to the Reds to score eight goals in 30 outings.
Nicolas Anelka
‘Le Sulk’ joined the Reds on loan from PSG in 2001 and dispatched four
goals in 20 outings, before joining Man City to score 37 goals in 89
appearances. Perhaps one of the most travelled footballers of his
generation, Anelka has played for 12 different clubs, including Real
Madrid, Arsenal and Chelsea.
Craig Bellamy
Capped by Wales 78 times, the 35-year-old was effective wherever he has
played throughout his career. He had two stints at Liverpool, five years
apart (2006-07 and 2011-12), where he scored a combined 13 goals in 51
appearances.
Mario Balotelli
One of the more controversial strikers on this list, which is saying
something considering the last three, who often divided opinion with
their antics, each of them would have a job competing with the Italian.
Balotelli scored 20 goals in 59 appearances with City, winning the
Premier League title in 2012, assisting Sergio Aguero for the goal which
literally ensured the trophy would be heading to the Etihad.
He is yet to make an impression at Liverpool so far this season, but Balotelli is starting to show promising signs and is 2/1 to net anytime.
