Liverpool vs Manchester City Betting Tips & Predictions

Liverpool Recent Form

Liverpool lead the division with 14 points and are the only team unbeaten in the league and across Europe. With 15 goals under their belt in England – the highest in the competition, the Reds are in prime form and look to further solidify their position at the summit.

They are heading in this match after a mid-week thumping of FC Porto at the Estádio do Dragão by 5-1; Mohammad Salah and Roberto Firmino scored a brace while Sadio Mane also joined the party with a goal. Following a win over AC Milan on matchday 1, Liverpool lead their Champions League group comfortably.

That said, there have been chinks in their armour and they will need to be addressed ahead of the blockbuster clash with City.

Last weekend in the league, Liverpool were held to a 3-3 draw by Brentford on away turf to settle for a well-fought draw. Similarly against Milan, they managed to conceded twice before netting the winner while with Chelsea, they struggled to score for 45 minutes against the 10-man side.

But as things stand, Liverpool have been near-invincible at Anfield this season, despite not being able to keep clean sheets as often as they would like. Their forwards have been in prime form and even from an injury point of view, Jurgen Klopp has no real concerns to worry about.

Manchester City Recent Form

Pep Guardiola’s mid-week reunion with Lionel Messi was the one to forget as Manchester City were beaten 2-0 by Paris Saint-Germain in the European Cup. Looking to maintain their dominance over the Parisians from last season, things didn’t go as per the plan as Messi scored his first goal for the club to send them cruising.

Nonetheless, these are still early days in the competition and City will not really be perturbed by it. Looking at their Premier League performance, City defeated Chelsea last weekend by 1-0 at the Stamford Bridge – a result that not many expected. Guardiola’s men delivered in one of the most demanding away fixtures (yet) and will hope to do the same at Anfield on Sunday evening.

But that may prove to be a tad bit difficult – the 2nd placed Man City’s away track record this season doesn’t inspire confidence. The Citizens have lost to Leicester in the Community Shield and Tottenham Hotspurs in the Premier League, before incurring a similar defeat on the road in Paris.

There is, however, another side to the story. Man City have been exceptional defensively this season having conceded just one goal in the six played. They have kept a clean sheet in their last five league games and if not a win, a draw isn’t too bad of an outcome to settle for against Liverpool.

Liverpool have proven themselves to be a team that is capable of going the distance this season in the Premier League, as well as the Champions League.

Their players are in fine form, the goals are easy to come by and given their exceptional track record at Anfield (and the support of the home crowd), they have got all they need to move past Citizens.

However, it isn’t to say that Manchester City are easy to beat – after all, they are the defending champions and last year’s Champions League finalists. They will give their 100% percent and hope to make it two for two at Anfield this year. But it’s just that the Reds have looked a little bit better overall.
