Liverpool vs Manchester City Live Stats & Betting Odds
Liverpool Prediction – Can Liverpool maintain 100% record at Anfield?
A 2-1 win during the week against Belgian club, Genk, extended Liverpool’s winning streak to 5 matches overall in all competitions and their unbeaten run in all competitions to 11 matches as they prepare for this Sunday afternoon showdown with title rivals, Manchester City at Anfield.
On the domestic front, Liverpool again seem to hold the title almost in their grasp even at this early stage of the season as they hold an important 5-point cushion over Leicester City and Chelsea, and a 6-point buffer ahead of Manchester City prior to today’s encounter.
Liverpool will obviously be mindful that this lead could be slashed in half on Sunday if they suffer defeat to City, but The Reds still remain unbeaten in the Premier League and indeed, have won 10 of their 11 matches to date this term.
The hosts also possess a 100% record at Anfield this season but this may be severely tested this afternoon against a highly motivated Manchester City side who cannot even contemplate the runners-up position.
Manchester City Prediction – Can Manchester City make up ground?
Sunday afternoon’s visitors, Manchester City, extended their unbeaten run in all competitions to 6 matches with a 1-1 draw away at Italian outfit Atalanta in the Champions League, and City hit the road again for this crucial and perhaps pivotal clash with Liverpool at Anfield.
Manchester City currently occupy 4th place in the Premier League but all three points in this encounter would see the visitors move up into 2nd spot and just 3 points behind Liverpool, so plenty rides on this Sunday afternoon encounter – perhaps more so for City.
There have been glimpses of possible chinks in Pep Guardiola’s City armour too as his side have suffered surprise defeats to Norwich City and Wolves, but they do possess a pretty impressive away record of 4-0-1 15/5 – but this isn’t a 100% record.
Nevertheless, Manchester City have won 11 of their last 12 matches away from home in the top flight and they’ll certainly be Liverpool’s toughest challenge yet so far this season.
A bit of teams news – City first-choice goalkeeper, Ederson, has been ruled out for this clash and will be replaced by Claudio Bravo between the sticks.
