Manchester City vs Liverpool Prediction & Top tips

Bookmaker Ratings prediction one: Manchester City to Win – 2.0

Bookmaker Ratings prediction two: Both Teams to Score – 1.8

Manchester City to Win

Manchester City have won eight of their last nine Premier League home matches and the Cityzens were able to perform at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday in the Champions League while Liverpool travelled to Portugal. That extra shred of energy could make all the difference in Sunday’s potential title decider and Pep Guardiola’s defending champions will kick-off the showpiece showdown as worthy favourites.

Both Teams to Score

Both teams impacted the scoresheet in six of the last seven meetings between Manchester City and Liverpool and the attacking talent on show in Sunday’s clash should ensure that the net is rippled at both ends again. The Reds have scored in all but one of their 30 league fixtures this season, while City have failed to score just twice in 14 assignments at home. Expect action at both ends in Manchester when these attack-minded heavyweight collide.

Manchester City vs Liverpool – Latest Team Stats & Odds

Preliminary review and match prediction for Manchester City vs Liverpool

Premier League fans have been treated to very few genuine title deciders in recent seasons, though Manchester City’s potentially crucial clash with Liverpool certainly falls into that category.

With just a single point separating current leaders and defending champions Manchester City from their chief antagonists Liverpool ahead of kick-off, the outcome of Sunday’s tussle promises to have a major bearing on the destination of the 2021/22 Premier League title.

When the teams met at Anfield earlier in the campaign, Man City battled their way back twice to gain parity in a pulsating 2-2 draw on Merseyside, though the Reds benefited from a couple of hugely controversial moments in the game, with contentious penalty and possible red card decisions going for them.

Pep Guardiola will fill his team are due a rub of the green in Sunday’s rematch and perhaps Liverpool are due to fall on the wrong side of fortune after a campaign filled with smatterings of sporting serendipity.

Jurgen Klopp’s relentless side have won ten Premier League fixtures on the bounce, though performances have not always convinced. Indeed, the Reds have been awarded more penalties than any other team this season, while their xGA (expected goals against) differential is the second-highest in the division.

In simple terms, that suggests that Liverpool should have conceded more than they have and their opponents have been guilty of missing big chances against the Reds over the past few months.

Manchester City are unlikely to be quite so charitable should guilt-edged opportunities present themselves on Sunday and having taken eight points from their last four meetings with their title rivals, the Cityzens are our favourites to prevail.

Safe Bets

Five of the last six Premier League meetings between Manchester City and Liverpool have produced over 2.5 goals – including October’s 2-2 draw – and with so much on the line on Sunday, more fireworks are expected. At 1.67, the over 2.5 goals line looks a safe option to consider at a favourable price.

Get Quick Rich

Manchester City have won two and drawn two of their last four encounters with Liverpool and the Cityzens are favourites to claim three points on Sunday as a result. The Reds have failed to score just once in 30 league fixtures in 2021/22 however, so braver bettors might find joy combining a home win with both teams to score at 3.6 this weekend.

Manchester City vs Liverpool first goalscorer

Kevin de Bruyne has long been a talismanic figure for Manchester City and the Belgian midfielder has chipped in with five goals in his last six starts. The 30-year-old gave City the lead with three of those strikes in big games against Man Utd, Burnley and Atletico Madrid and de Bruyne’s penchant for producing moments on the biggest occasions makes him the outstanding choice in the first goalscorer market at 2.6 against Liverpool.

Manchester City vs Liverpool Team News

Ruben Dias is expected to miss out again for Man City on Sunday which is a major blow for the champions. Phil Foden could be restored to the starting line-up after he was on the bench in midweek, while Kyle Walker is available again following suspension.

Liverpool have a clean bill of healthy ahead of Sunday’s game. Jordan Henderson is expected to slot back into midfield having been a sub on Tuesday, while Joel Matip could replace Ibrahima Konate at centre-half.

Starting Lineups

Manchester City: Ederson – Walker, Stones, Laporte, Cancelo – Rodri, de Bruyne, Bernardo Silva – Mahrez, Sterling, Foden

Liverpool: Alisson – Alexander-Arnold, Matip, van Dijk, Robertson – Fabinho, Henderson, Keita – Mane, Salah, Jota

Highlighted Player

Phil Foden

Phil Foden would have been frustrated at being named on the bench against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday evening, though the attacking midfielder grabbed an assist when he came on and the 21-year-old has scored in each of his last two appearance against Liverpool. With that record pushing him on, Foden is a potential match-winner to watch out for at The Etihad Stadium.
