Liverpool vs Manchester City Preview and Team News
Liverpool Team News
Liverpool currently sit sixth in the table. They’ve had a topsy-turvy season and look far from being capable of defending their Premier League title. The Reds have won just three of their last five matches.
Recently, they made a big statement by defeating Newcastle United 4-1. Hugo Ekitike, who bagged a brace, was on point with his passing too, finishing with an 89% accuracy rate.
He also posted an xG of 1.16 and was helped in the final third by winger Cody Gakpo, who completed the most dribbles (five) and won the most duels (11) in the game. Attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz recorded 100% accuracy in shots on target.
The Reds have a long list of injured players, including Alexander Isak, Conor Bradley, Giovanni Leoni, Jeremie Frimpong, Joseph Gomez, and Stefan Bajcetic.
Liverpool predicted lineup vs Manchester City (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Kerkez, van Dijk, Konate, Szoboszlai; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Gakpo, Wirtz, Salah; Ekitike.
Manchester City Team News
Sitting second in the table, Manchester City can still challenge Arsenal for the title if their performances keep getting better. The team are unbeaten in their last four outings, having won three of them. In midweek, they defeated Newcastle United 3-1 to book their spot in the EFL Cup final.
City gave the Magpies no chance whatsoever by keeping 63% possession. They took a total of 18 shots, eight of which were on target, resulting in a 2.22 xG. Even their passing accuracy was on point at 90%.
Pep Guardiola will be without several key players due to injury, including Bernardo Silva, Jeremy Doku, John Stones, Josko Gvardiol, Mateo Kovacic, and Savinho.
Manchester City predicted lineup vs Liverpool (4-1-4-1): Donnarumma; O’Reilly, Ake, Khusanov, Nunes; Gonzalez; Ait Nouri, Reijnders, Foden, Semenyo; Haaland.
Liverpool vs Manchester City Prediction
- Pick: Liverpool to win or draw
- Odds: -244 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Liverpool 3-2 Manchester City
We expect either a draw or a Liverpool win in this matchup. Man City were held to a shocking 2-2 draw by Tottenham in their last league outing, highlighting their struggles away from home.
Guardiola’s men have won just five games of 12 on the road this season, with only one in their last five league encounters. Liverpool, meanwhile, have gone undefeated in 10 of the 12 matches they’ve played at home.
Liverpool vs Manchester City Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Total over 1.25 goals in the first half
- Odds: -110 (20Bet)
We expect to see more than 1.25 goals in the first half. For City, Erling Haaland will be the target man since he is the league’s top scorer (20). Liverpool will rely on Ekitike, who is also in great form (four goal contributions in two matches).
The Frenchman has become the youngest Reds player to score 10 league goals since Michael Owen in 2000-01. Moreover, Mohamed Salah has recorded 13 goals and eight assists against the Cityzens in his career. Both teams are blessed with attackers, and end-to-end action should be on the cards.
