Team Analysis
Manchester City will be hoping to return to winning ways here after a 3-1 Champions League loss in their previous game against Real Madrid. In that game, Manchester City had 52% possession and 12 shots at goal with 4 of them on target. The scorer for Manchester City was Nico González (92'). At the other end, Real Madrid had 15 attempts at goal with 8 on target. Kylian Mbappé (4', 33', 61') was the scorer for Real Madrid.

Three or more goals per match have been seen in 6 of the last 6 fixtures where Manchester City have been involved. Opposition teams scored 13 of them in this period while Manchester City managed to get a total of 12. We will find out whether or not that trend can be sustained in this game.

In their previous fixture, Liverpool drew 2-2 in the Premier League match with Aston Villa. In that game, Liverpool managed 47% possession and 17 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. For Liverpool, goals were scored by Mohamed Salah (29') and Trent Alexander-Arnold (61'). For their opponents, Aston Villa got 9 attempts on goal with 4 on target. Youri Tielemans (38') and Ollie Watkins (45') scored for Aston Villa.

During their 6 most recent matches, Arne Slot's Liverpool have slotted home 12 times therefore yielding them a goals per game average of 2. Coming into this contest, Liverpool have not beaten Manchester City in games played away from home for the previous 8 league games. A really bad run.

Odds Analysis
When taking all factors into account, Liverpool can get a lot of shots on goal and make them count. Conversely, Manchester City will not find it easy scoring although we reckon that they could well end up managing to get on the scoresheet, too. Therefore, we are anticipating a fairly comfortable 1-3 winning score for Liverpool when the referee blows the final whistle.

Pick: Liverpool
