Liverpool vs Man City Match Preview, Premier League 2024-25

The Reds look to extend their dominance at the top, while the Citizens aim to recover from their recent slump.

Liverpool, under the guidance of manager Arne Slot, are currently flying high at the top of the Premier League. The Reds come into this match with a perfect record in the 2024-25 season, remaining unbeaten in both domestic and international competitions. Their most recent achievement was a historic 2-0 win over Real Madrid in the Champions League, where Alexis Mac Allister’s sublime finish and Cody Gakpo’s header saw them continue their perfect run. This followed a gritty 2-1 victory against Southampton, where Mohamed Salah’s brace secured all three points in a hard-fought encounter.

With a six-match winning streak across all competitions, including three consecutive clean sheets at Anfield, Liverpool will be confident of extending their lead over Manchester City. Arne Slot’s tactical prowess has been evident, as he leads his team with confidence into this high-stakes fixture. Notably, Liverpool have not lost their first Premier League match against the reigning champions in the last six seasons, a trend Slot will look to maintain on Sunday.

On the other side, Manchester City is grappling with an unexpected dip in form. After a stunning collapse in the Champions League against Feyenoord—where they squandered a three-goal lead—the Cityzens have been struggling to find their rhythm. They’ve not won a match since October 2024, with their most recent setback being a humiliating 4-0 defeat at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur.

Pep Guardiola’s side enters this fixture with mounting pressure, sitting just outside the top four and in danger of slipping further down the table. Manchester City has not managed a victory on the road in their last four matches, and with Liverpool in rampant form, Guardiola will need to find a way to inspire his team to deliver on the big stage. Despite the turmoil, City remains a formidable attacking force, with Erling Haaland leading the line alongside playmakers like Kevin De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva.

Liverpool vs Man City Head to Head

Liverpool has had the upper hand in recent seasons, with the Reds going unbeaten in their last four meetings against City, including a 1-1 draw in October 2022. However, Guardiola’s men have enjoyed success on the road, with an impressive streak of scoring in 26 consecutive away matches.

Liverpool News

Arne Slot will be pleased to have Trent Alexander-Arnold fit and available for the clash, with the right-back returning to the squad against Real Madrid. However, the Reds will be without key players like Conor Bradley, Ibrahima Konate, and Alisson Becker. Konate’s injury is a particular concern, with Joe Gomez expected to partner Virgil van Dijk in central defense. In midfield, Dominik Szoboszlai is likely to replace Curtis Jones as Liverpool look to dominate possession.

Man City Starting Lineup

Manchester City News

Manchester City will have some key personnel returning, including defender Ruben Dias, who has recovered from a calf injury. Jeremy Doku, who has been sidelined with a thigh issue, could also make his return to the squad. However, Guardiola will still be without John Stones, Rodri, Oscar Bobb, and Mateo Kovacic. The availability of De Bruyne, who has been recovering from injury, could play a crucial role in City’s attacking setup.

Who will win today’s football match between Liverpool and Manchester City?

With Liverpool in superb form and City struggling with consistency, we predict a 3-1 victory for the Reds. The home side’s high pressing game and attacking dynamism will prove too much for a City defense that has been leaking goals. Despite their attacking talent, Guardiola’s men are likely to fall short against a well-drilled Liverpool side.
