Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Liverpool vs Manchester City

Liverpool

The Reds finally returned to winning ways in the last round of the English Premier League, securing a crushing home victory over Newcastle. This success allowed Arne Sloth's men to improve their standings slightly, capitalizing on the setbacks of Manchester City and Aston Villa. Liverpool faces a very difficult task of continuing their winning streak, as they will host the Citizens in the next round, a match in which it will be difficult to count on all three points. Jugo Ekitike remains the Reds' top scorer in the current English Premier League, having scored ten goals and provided two assists.

Manchester City

Pep Guardiola's side squandered a two-goal lead over Tottenham in their last match and slipped up again, allowing leaders Arsenal to extend their lead even further. Manchester City has had a very inconsistent start to 2026, and it remains unclear whether they will challenge for the title or focus on maintaining a top-four finish. The Citizens have qualified directly for the Champions League round of 16, meaning they can now turn their attention to the Premier League, where they urgently need to improve their results in the near future. In the next round, Manchester City will play Liverpool away, and from a tournament perspective, this will be a very important game for the visitors, who will field their strongest lineup to date.

Game Totals Prediction

This will be the central match of the 25th round of the English Premier League, with defending champions Liverpool hosting Manchester City. Both teams are contenders for a Champions League spot, but while the Citizens can still challenge for gold, the Reds first need to return to the top four of the standings to have any hope of achieving anything more. The result in the upcoming match will be paramount, so the opponents can play a more pragmatic and risk-free game, and this type of game is unlikely to allow neutral fans to see many goals. A bet on Under (3) at odds of 1.87.
