Manchester City vs Liverpool Prediction

Manchester City and Liverpool have both had their wobbles this season which explains how they have allowed Arsenal to take a grip of the Premier League title race, and that should ensure an intense meeting at the Etihad on Sunday.

Erling Haaland extended his extraordinary scoring run by completing yet another brace and taking his league tally to 13 goals in 10 matches last Sunday.

Liverpool’s defensive nous was not put to the test as much as expected against Real Madrid, but a red-hot Haaland, an in-form Foden and creative hub Rayan Cherki will pose an incredibly stiff challenge to the Reds’ newfound rearguard solidity.

Liverpool conquered the Anfield with a 2-0 win in their previous visit in February this year. Circumstances are quite different this time around, though.
