Manchester City vs Liverpool Prediction & Betting Tips (9 November)

Champion of England continuously from 2021 to 2024, Manchester City returned their crown last year and did not even fight for the title. The Skyblues are obviously revengeful this season. Slightly behind on their progress, they now occupy 2nd place in the Premier League with 6 units of spending on leader Arsenal. Not really reassuring at the very start of the championship, Pep Guardiola's men then found the right fuel with a series of five games without setbacks, 4 victories and 1 draw. They ended this dynamic by losing at Aston Villa 1-0 before recovering against Bournemouth last weekend 3-1. This week, Manchester City easily got the better of Dortmund in the Champions League 4-1. Without competition on the national scene during the previous year, Liverpool easily won the league title.

Logically considered the favorite to succeed this season, the Mersey club got off to a perfect start by winning its first five matches. On the other hand, the Reds seriously marked time afterwards. Indeed, they have had four defeats against Crystal Palace 2-1, Chelsea 2-1, Manchester United 1-2 and Brentford 3-2. The success acquired last weekend against Aston Villa 2-0 made it possible to stop the bleeding and return to 3rd place in the Premier League with one point behind Manchester City. This week, Liverpool showed a good face to beat Real Madrid in the Champions League 1-0. 

Manchester City is spared from injuries at the moment and only has to deal with the withdrawal of Croatian midfielder Kovacic this Sunday. Irresistible this season, Erling Haaland (13 goals in the PL) scored twice against Bournemouth and a goal against Dortmund. This is the only Cityzen who has scored more than one goal since the start of the championship. This week, playmaker Foden (1 goal and 1 assist in the PL) shone by finding the net twice while Cherki (1 goal and 2 assists in the PL) scored after coming on. Manchester City has the best attack and the 2nd defense in the championship. On the Liverpool side, the starting goalkeeper Alisson, the full-back Frimpong and the disappointing striker Isak until now, insufficiently recovered from their injuries, are still missing.

physical glitches. Furthermore, Italian defender Leoni is announced as doubtful this weekend. After a bad patch, Salah (4 goals and 2 assists in the PL) found some color by shaking the nets during the last two days. He could make up the attacking trio with Gakpo (3 goals and 2 assists in the PL) and Ekitike (3 goals in the PL), unless the rookie Wirtz is started following his good match in the Champions League this week. Author of the winning goal against Real Madrid, Mac Allister (2 assists in PL) is applying to start just like the other midfielders Gravenberch (3 goals in PL) and Szoboszlai (1 goal in PL).
