📝 Preview 👇

Manchester City and Liverpool - two teams who’ve contested many title races in the past decade - are in pursuit of Premier League leaders Arsenal this time around when they meet in a huge clash on Sunday.

▪️ Match News and Current Form

City have shown over the last week that they’re approaching their destructive best, with a thumping 4-1 win over Borussia Dortmund in midweek UEFA Champions League action their sixth victory in seven matches (L1). The Cityzens now turn their attention back to the league where a 3-1 win over Bournemouth at the Etihad last weekend - their ninth win in their last ten home league games (L1) - proves they’re ripe to earn another three points here as they welcome Liverpool, especially since they’ve won ten of their last 12 Premier League games against reigning champions (D1, L1).

Liverpool have shown signs that their early season wobble may be behind them after a pair of clean sheet victories over Aston Villa and notably Real Madrid over the last week. The defending Premier League champions had lost five successive domestic games before seeing off Villa, a result which lifted them into the top three pre-round and just a point behind City. Arne Slot will now be desperate to end his side’s three-game losing streak on their Premier League travels, as they’ve not lost four such games in a row since 2012!

▪️ Head-to-Head History

Liverpool did the double over City last season with a pair of 2-0 wins, but they’ve not won successive away league games against City since 1991. Pep Guardiola’s team went unbeaten in ten of the prior 12 league H2Hs (W4, D6).

▪️ Hot Stats and Streaks

The half-time result has been replicated at full-time in five of City’s last seven home league matches.

City’s six successive home wins have all come by 2+ goal margins.

Liverpool have drawn none of their last 16 matches in all competitions (W10, L6).

Just one of Liverpool’s last eight away games was decided by a 2+ goal margin.

▪️Key Players to Watch and Missing Players

Erling Haaland has scored in each of his last nine home games for club and country (G19), including a brace in his last four league games at the Etihad - two more goals here would make him the fastest player in Premier League history to reach 100 goals in terms of appearances. Dominik Szoboszlai scored in this fixture last term, contributing to him winning 28 of his last 29 club games when scoring (L1).

Part of City’s recent uptick could be accredited to their almost perfectly healthy squad, while Liverpool could have Alexander Isak back in contention.

▪️ Betting Analysis

City are favourites but Liverpool should be able to make it competitive, so backing City to win with over 2.5 match goals scored seems a logical outcome.
