A huge Premier League clash between two heavyweights. Manchester City vs Liverpool is the kind of game you circle on the calendar the moment fixtures come out. Both sides are in the mix near the top of the table, and with Pep Guardiola and Arne Slot sending out full-strength teams, this one promises fireworks.
So, what’s the Manchester City vs Liverpool prediction looking like ahead of this Sunday showdown? Let’s break it down.
Pep Guardiola’s side come into this one flying high after a 3–1 win over Bournemouth. Erling Haaland was back to his ruthless best with a brace, while Nico O’Reilly also got on the scoresheet. Defensively, City have looked solid lately — just three goals conceded across their last six games — and they’ve been especially tough to beat at home, unbeaten in their last four at the Etihad.
There are no fresh injury concerns for Pep, with a fully fit squad available. That means he’s spoiled for choice in every position — and that usually spells trouble for anyone visiting Manchester.
As for Liverpool, Arne Slot’s men head to the Etihad after a confidence-boosting 1–0 win over Real Madrid in the Champions League. Alexis Mac Allister grabbed the winner that night, and you can tell the Reds have rediscovered some rhythm after a patchy spell on the road.
However, Liverpool’s away record in the Premier League hasn’t been great lately. They haven’t won any of their last three league trips, and they’ll need to be sharper if they’re to keep City at bay.
The good news for Slot is that he’s got a clean bill of health too. Every key player is available, and that’s a massive boost ahead of one of the season’s toughest fixtures.
Gianluigi Donnarumma; Matheus Nunes, Ruben Dias, Josko Gvardiol, Nico O’Reilly; Bernardo Silva, Nico González; Rayan Cherki, Phil Foden, Jérémy Doku; Erling Haaland
Giorgi Mamardashvili; Conor Bradley, Ibrahima Konaté, Virgil Van Dijk, Andrew Robertson; Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch; Mohamed Salah, Dominik Szoboszlai, Cody Gakpo; Hugo Ekitike
The Etihad has been a fortress again this season. City have won four of their five home league games, scoring 13 goals and conceding just four. They love to control matches here — and with Haaland firing, they usually make their dominance count.
Liverpool, meanwhile, have struggled away from home recently. They’ve lost three on the bounce in the league away from Anfield and conceded nine goals in that stretch. Still, they always seem to raise their game against City — and with Salah and Szoboszlai in form, you can’t completely write them off.
If you’re looking for a value angle, City to win with both teams scoring looks tempting — City are usually too strong at home, but Liverpool always create chances.
This fixture rarely disappoints, and the intensity will be high from the first whistle. City will look to dominate possession through Bernardo Silva and Foden, while Liverpool will rely on quick transitions and Salah’s cutting edge.
That said, City’s defensive control and home record make them slight favourites. With their midfield in sync and Haaland looking unstoppable again, you’d back them to find a way through. Liverpool’s away-day struggles could be exposed once more, even if they put up a decent fight.
Match Prediction: Man City to win. Bet with bet365.
I’m going for a 2–1 win for Manchester City. The Reds have enough quality to nick a goal — maybe through Salah or Szoboszlai — but over 90 minutes, Pep’s side should have too much. City’s blend of control, creativity, and finishing power at home is usually decisive.
Correct Score Prediction: Manchester City 2–1 Liverpool. Bet with bet365.
When these two meet, goals usually follow. Their last six head-to-heads have produced 18 goals — that’s an average of three per match. City’s last six league games have also seen plenty of action, while Liverpool’s recent fixtures have averaged over three goals each.
So, the Over 2.5 Goals market looks a solid shout. Both teams are packed with attacking talent, and neither manager is likely to settle for a draw.
Over/Under Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.
