Match Preview
The Premier League hasn’t started on the right foot for Liverpool this season. They have won only 2 of their 8 games, sitting 13 points behind Man City, who are at 2nd on the table.
Juergen Klopp’s men lost their last game against the league leaders Arsenal by 3-2 goals. However, Mohamed Salah and co. They showed signs of bouncing back in their 1-7 victory against Rangers in the Champions League. Salah came off the bench to score a quick hat-trick in that stomping victory.
Manchester City won the Premier League title 4 times in the last five seasons. Pep Guardiola’s men are well on track to add another.
The Citizens are looking even more dangerous this season by including Erling Haaland. The Norwegian cyborg has already scored 20 goals this season, 15 in the Premier League in 9 matches.
Man City Team News and Lineup
John Stones hasn’t recovered from a hamstring and will miss the game. Kyle Walker (groin) and Kalvin Phillips (shoulder) will be out too, and are still a long way from recovering.
Erling Haaland and Phil Foden, both scored a hat-trick in the 6-3 hammering of Man Utd, were rested in midweek’s Champions League fixture. They will return in this game.
Probable Lineup (4-3-3): Ederson; Akanji, Dias, Ake, Cancelo; De Bruyne, Rodri, Bernardo; Foden, Haaland, Grealish
Liverpool Team News and Lineup
Juergen Klopp has to deal with a handful of injuries which has been the story for them this season.
Luis Diaz will be out with a knee injury until the end of December. Joel Matip and Trent Alexander-Arnold will miss out on this game and will be out for at least a fortnight. Robertson has recovered and will return.
Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Arthur are also out due to injuries.
Probable Lineup (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Gomez, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Fabinho, Thiago; Salah, Firmino, Jota; Nunez
Head-to-Head
Liverpool has not lost against Man City in their 4 previous head-to-head meetings in all competitions – 2 wins and 2 draws.
Liverpool vs Man City Prediction
The Merseyside Reds have been struggling, more in defense, this season. They have won only two of their eight Premier League games this season, already 13 points behind Man City.
Moreover, a handful of injury concerns drive the odds against the home side. TAA and Joel Matip will be unavailable in the backline.
However, Liverpool hammered the Rangers 1-7 in their last game in the Champions League. This victory would give them confidence heading into the big game.
On the other hand, Erling Haaland and co. will be keen to clinch a victory and take advantage. We predict Man City will win the game.
- Liverpool 1-2 Manchester City.
