Liverpool vs Manchester City: Predictions, Picks, Odds & Lineups

Liverpool sit on nine points from five games, two wins and three draws without defeat, a goal difference of plus three underlining a tidy but unspectacular start. Manchester City have won all five of their matches, collecting fifteen points and a goal difference of plus eight.

Liverpool’s last five league games read D D W D W: a win at Bournemouth, a goalless draw with Fulham at home, a win at Ipswich Town, a 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest at home, and a 2-2 draw at Newcastle.

Manchester City’s form reads W W W W W: a 5-3 home win over Sunderland, a 1-0 win at Manchester United, a 1-0 home win over Coventry City, a 4-1 win at Crystal Palace, and a 2-1 home win over Bournemouth.

Manchester City’s perfect record, five wins from five games and a goal difference of plus eight, should be enough to see off a Liverpool side that remains unbeaten itself but has drawn three of five league matches. Expect goals at both ends through Haaland, Cherki and Semenyo against Isak and Liverpool’s own attacking players, before City’s greater cutting edge tells late on. Final prediction for this match, Liverpool 1-2 Manchester City, with Haaland the pick to get on the scoresheet.
