Venue (City, Stadium) | Liverpool, Anfield |
Liverpool host Man City at Anfield on Sunday, and our Liverpool vs Man City prediction starts with a simple fact: this is the biggest game of Andoni Iraola's Anfield career so far.
Liverpool have not hit top gear under Iraola, but they arrive unbeaten across seven games in all competitions. Anfield should be louder than usual for the first game since City were charged.
Enzo Maresca is dealing with a crisis off the field, but on it City have won every game in all competitions this season and arrive on Merseyside sitting top of the standings.
City have won their last 3 games against Liverpool in all competitions. Iraola wants his squad leaning on the Anfield crowd, and this is the day to use it.
Liverpool vs Man City Recent Results
Liverpool are undefeated in their last 6 Premier League games, and the unbeaten start extends beyond the league too. The defense is the story, with a clean sheet in each of their last 3 Premier League outings. Up top, Alexander Isak has been finding the net regularly, which is exactly why his fitness doubt stings.
City have won their last 5 Premier League games and every game in all competitions this season, which explains why they sit top of the standings. Erling Haaland is the headline act, and he has found the scoresheet in each of his past 4 outings, fitness scare for Norway aside.

Liverpool
Liverpool are sweating over the fitness of Jeremy Jacquet, Cody Gakpo and Alexander Isak after the trio got hurt on international duty, so the Liverpool vs Man City lineups hinge on late checks. Rio Ngumoha is in line to start if Gakpo misses out, and Federico Chiesa could be involved. Giovanni Leoni, Conor Bradley and Hugo Ekitike remain sidelined.
Man City
Erling Haaland is expected to be fit despite coming off early while playing for Norway. Nico O'Reilly and Antoine Semenyo are both doubtful after returning from international duty early. Phil Foden is still serving a ban following his sending-off in last month's Manchester derby, while Jeremy Doku is pushing to make his first start of the season.

Liverpool vs Man City Prediction & Best Picks
Our Prediction
The Liverpool vs Man City betting odds make City the rightful moneyline favorites at +120 (Ladbrokes), and Haaland's finishing is the biggest weapon on the field. Liverpool's clean-sheet run has not faced an attack like this, but Anfield and their long-range threat will keep City honest at the other end. Our prediction: a 2-2 tie.
Best Picks
Both Teams To Score: Yes. Liverpool and Man City both get on the scoresheet at Anfield. This leads our Liverpool vs Man City best picks in the Both Teams To Score market. City have scored at least 2 goals in their last 3 games against Liverpool in all competitions, and their defense rates poorly at stopping opponents from creating looks, so Liverpool get their shots in too.
Total Goals Over/Under: Over 2.5 goals in the match. Over is the play in the Total Goals Over/Under market. The projected total points to an open, messy afternoon, and Liverpool have seen over 2.5 goals in their last 3 games against Man City in all competitions.
Liverpool vs Man City Same Game Parlay
Our Liverpool vs Man City Same Game Parlay picks lean on City's attack, stacking Erling Haaland to score and shoot, Antoine Semenyo on target and Dominik Szoboszlai in the book.
Erling Haaland in the Anytime Goalscorer market is the anchor. He has found the net in all 4 of his Premier League outings this season and is expected to be fit after his Norway scare.
Haaland Over 3.5 in the Player Shots market fits the same story. He has gotten off 4 or more shots in 4 of his last 5 Premier League games, and the volume keeps coming.
Antoine Semenyo Over 0.5 Player Shots On Target has landed in every one of his 5 career appearances against Liverpool in the Premier League. He is doubtful, so check the team sheet before kickoff.
Dominik Szoboszlai To Be Shown A Card has hit twice across his last 3 games against Man City. In a heated matchup with an aggressive Liverpool midfield, it makes sense.
At the time of writing, this Same Game Parlay pays a best price of +1700 and is as short as +1274 elsewhere. That's a difference in potential winnings of $43 from best to worst price.

Liverpool vs Man City Talking Points
The off-field noise is impossible to ignore. Enzo Maresca says City's hierarchy is convinced the club will overturn the independent commission's guilty verdict on appeal, while Iraola says the prolonged uncertainty around the case is not good for anyone in the Premier League. On the field, City edge the previous meetings by three wins to two. The tactical swing factor is simple: Liverpool love creating looks with through balls, and City's defense rates as weak against exactly that kind of attack. If Iraola's side get the crowd going early, this matchup gets messy in a hurry.
