Manchester City vs Liverpool Prediction & Match Preview

The top two Premier League sides will lock horns in the first game of Matchday No 13 on Saturday afternoon at Etihad Stadium.

With one point separating Manchester City and Liverpool ahead of the early kick-off fixture, it is all to play for in a potentially spectacular affair.

The Citizens slipped up for the third time this season, playing a crazy 4-4 draw away at Chelsea after conceding a last-gasp penalty-kick goal at Stamford Bridge.

Pep Guardiola’s men own the best attacking record in the league with 32 goals this term, 13 of which have come from the division’s top scorer Erling Haaland.

The Citizens’ attacking line seems to have clicked in recent months as Man City bagged at least three goals in each of the last five games in all competitions.

Liverpool have also been scoring for fun lately, especially Mohamed Salah who took his league tally to 10 goals by completing a brace in a comfortable 3-0 victory over Brentford before the international break.

The Reds won three and drew one of the last four league fixtures, scoring at least twice in four of the previous five Premier League matches in the process.

Latest Meetings

Manchester City celebrated a demolishing 4-1 victory over the Reds in the previous head to head encounter in April this year at Etihad Stadium.

Liverpool had been on a three-win run in the matches against City before losing the previous two matches.

We’ve witnessed goals at both ends and at least four goals scored in all but one of the previous seven head to head outings between these counterparts.

The Verdict

This is the match between two of the deadliest attacking lines in the league as the competition’s top two scorers go head to head on Saturday afternoon.

Man City possess more quality in their ranks and they have the home court advantage here. Guardiola’s troops are yet to make a mistake at Etihad Stadium where they won all five league matches this term with a goal difference of 16-3 along the way. We’ll take Man City to win & Both Teams To Score as the main betting option at the 3.00 odds while you can alternatively back Erling Haaland to score anytime at the 1.66 odd.
