This is another entertaining clash on the prospects with both teams looking to cement their positions inside the top four of the league table. Manchester City are third with 56 points, while Liverpool are third with a point short.
Manchester City’s 3-1 loss to Monaco on Tuesday night put an end to their 11 match unbeaten run in all competitions. It was particularly disappointing as the Citizens were unable to make anything out of a 2 goal lead from the first leg. This is also a reminder of the fact that their defense need to be fixed in order to compete at the highest level.
Coming back to the English Premier League, City are coming on the back of a goal-less draw at home against Stoke City. They are unbeaten in their last 6 matches, with their last defeat in the league coming away at Everton.
In the Premier League games played at the Etihad, the Citizens were beaten just once this season. And that was in December by the league leaders Chelsea. They have picked up 4 wins and 2 draws in the 6 matches since then.
On the other hand, Liverpool have finally managed to steady their sinking ship to a certain extend. They have three wins to their name in the last four league games, but all of them coming at Anfield.
Away from home, the Reds are without a win in their last four. They lost to teams in the bottom half of the table – Hull City and Leicester in the last two; before settling for draws in the previous two.
Just like Manchester City, defense is the main area of concern for Jurgen Klopp, after conceding goals in 8 of their last 9 games.
Manchester City vs Liverpool: Head-to-head
A Georginio Wijnaldum goal gave Liverpool a narrow 1-0 win in the corresponding reverse fixture of the current season. This extended Liverpool’s winning streak over Man City to four games in all competitions. Three of those are in the Premier League, out of which the latest two came at the Anfield.
The same fixture at the Etihad last season was a thumping 4-1 win for Liverpool. However, Manchester City were unbeaten in the previous 5 Premier League meetings at home against the Reds with 4 wins and 1 draw.
The last four Premier League home games of Manchester City against Liverpool have seen both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals. While the last six saw over 2.5 goals.
Manchester City vs Liverpool: Prediction
There is no doubt that this will be a cracker of a match with abundance of quality in each team’s attack. Both teams have plenty of holes in their defense, therefore our primary pick for this game will be both teams to score and over 2.5 goals.
Our secondary focus is on Liverpool’s poor form away from, which is totally opposite to City’s home form. A Manchester City win is very much on the cards here, especially after the disappointing loss at Monaco in the mid-week.
