Liverpool vs. Manchester City Predictions

Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for Liverpool vs. Manchester City at English Premier League

Where: Anfield Road, Liverpool, England
When: Sunday, February 8, 5:30 pm ET

Both units are in great trouble. They are not playing well, their results are below expectations, and overall, the respective situation in the standings is not good. Liverpool was expected to be in the title talks, and now they are outside the top four places. City loses pace with Arsenal, who now have 6 points more in the English Premier League standings. Another slip would definitely mean that the Citizens are out of the title race.

Liverpool vs. Manchester City Preview

Liverpool

Beating Newcastle 4-1 was definitely a much-needed therapy for the Reds. They were pale and without any ideas in the opening half an hour, but a blitz in the late part of the first half moved Slot’s unit. From that moment on, it was all about Liverpool on the field.

Liverpool has won 3 of its last 4 games, but prior to the win over the Magpies, this unit had gone 5 consecutive EPL games without a win.

Manchester City

Everything went smoothly for the Citizens in the opening half against Tottenham. They were up 0-2, looking confident and keeping the situation under control. But all that fell apart after halftime.

Tottenham came back, the game ended 2-2, and the Citizens are now 6 points behind Arsenal. Now, that’s not too much, but if they fail to defeat Liverpool, we can say that the title would be pretty distant for Guardiola and his unit.

City is in terrible shape away from home lately. They’ve won just one of the past five, allowing two or more hits in the previous three, clearly pointing to their back line as the unit’s weakest part.

Liverpool vs Manchester City Head to Head

City dismantled the Reds in the opening meeting this year, winning 3-0 and snapping a four-match winless skid against this rival. The past three events have all seen just one side netting. At Anfield, City hasn’t won there since 2021 and has only one victory in the last 25+ games.

Liverpool vs. Manchester City Predictions

This will be a high-scoring event; we have no doubt about that. Why? Both teams have excellent attacks but have huge problems with the consistency of their defensive lines, which often crack under pressure and make cardinal mistakes.

Our verdict: Over 2.5 goals
