Manchester City vs Liverpool Preview

Liverpool are currently in sixth place in the Premier League standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The Merseyside outfit scored four goals against AC Milan last week and will look to replicate the feat in this fixture.

Manchester City, on the other hand, are in second place in the league table at the moment and have found themselves engaged in an intriguing battle with Arsenal for the Premier League title. The Cityzens eased past Girona by a 2-0 margin in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this week.

Manchester City vs Liverpool Prediction

Manchester City have not been at their best against Liverpool in recent months and have a point to prove in this fixture. Erling Haaland did not participate in the World Cup and will be intent on making his mark this week.

Liverpool have shown flashes of brilliance this season and will hope that the World Cup break rejuvenates their domestic fortunes. Manchester City have been the better team this season, however, and hold a slight upper hand going into this game.

Prediction: Manchester City 2-1 Liverpool
