Is there even a good reason for this and seems weird sticking two title rivals in that time. Can imagine it will also be very difficult for Liverpool fans travelling up from London so early to get to the game on time

Something to do with their large fan base in South East Asia, I think?
Time zones in SE Asia are like 7-9 hours ahead, so 12:30pm kick off is ideal for global viewership… but the excuse (for the Liverpool vs City game) is because of fan trouble… like fans are going to be dissuaded from causing trouble due to an early kick-off time?
