Liverpool vs Manchester City Prediction

• Where: Anfield Road, Liverpool, England
• When: Sunday, October 16, 5:30 pm ET

Liverpool hosts Manchester City, hoping to bounce back in the EPL title race. Jurgen Klopp’s unit is in a terrible situation and far away from the top of the standings. Meanwhile, Man City is doing well, following the top-placed Arsenal and providing good performances. They didn’t have too many problems on Tuesday in Copenhagen, the same as the Reds in Glasgow on Wednesday, where they humiliated the Rangers

Liverpool vs. Manchester City Preview

Liverpool

The Reds exploded in Glasgow, beating the hosts 1-7, finally putting back the smile on Jurgen Klopp’s face. The German manager didn’t seem so happy in the first 45 minutes with the result at the break 1-1. However, things drastically changed in the second half.

Mohamed Salah entered the pitch in the second half, scoring three goals in a short period of time, making a perfect intro for Sunday’s derby. The Egyptian star is essential for Liverpool’s success, and his shaky form has been one of the main reasons why the Reds didn’t open the season well.

The second would be the defense, which again allowed a goal. In seven of the last ten games across all the competitions, Liverpool conceded at least once, which was something unimaginable in the past.

Manchester City

The Citizens played 0-0 in Copenhagen, missing a penalty and having a deficit on the field for 60 minutes following a red card for one of their players. This was a relaxed and easy event for the EPL champs, who came to Denmark to do the formality and get back home to prepare for Sunday’s meeting.

Unlike Liverpool’s, Guardiola’s defense is superb, allowing only one goal in the recent five games, while on the other side, the offense scored 17 goals. Most of them were delivered by Haaland, who didn’t play in Denmark.

Since losing to Liverpool in the Community Shield, City had 14 matches and didn’t suffer another defeat, winning 10 of them and playing four draws.

Liverpool vs. Manchester City Prediction

Over 2.5 goals are the safest bet here, and there is no debate about it. The odds are a bit lower than expected, but the main goal here is to earn money, and even small profits are still profits. For those who want to take a riskier approach, two or more goals in the opening half is a solid choice.

Our verdict: Over 2.5 goals
