Man City vs Liverpool Football Preview
England’s top two are both flying coming into this mammoth clash, with each having lost just once in 2022. Man City have won 17 of their last 20 league games following defeat to Crystal Palace in October, whilst Liverpool have won 16 of their last 19.
The three points is arguably more important for Liverpool given their final eight games includes a Merseyside derby, as well as meetings with Manchester United and Tottenham. In contrast, City’s only top half opponent after this weekend is West Ham. If Pep Guardiola’s side emerge victorious on Sunday and establish a four point gap, Liverpool will have a mountain to climb.
It ended all square when these two met earlier this season, although Jurgen Klopp’s side will be kicking themselves after squandering two leads. The Reds have tended to come up slightly short in recent seasons, with just one league win over City in the last seven meetings. In fact, Liverpool haven’t won a league game at the Etihad since a 4-1 win in 2015, when Martin Skrtel capped off an impressive performance.
Unfortunately for Liverpool, their danger men may just be tailing off at the most inopportune time. League top goalscorer Mo Salah has scored just once in his last nine, whilst Sadio Mane’s goal against Benfica was just a second in 10 games.
The hosts’ strong record in this fixture sees them go into the game as favourites with NetBet’s win probability counter. City are given a 46% chance of winning, whilst Liverpool are given a 28% chance, with a draw at 26%.

This trip to the Etihad is all or nothing for Liverpool – three points is crucial. Now there aren’t many teams that can keep City quiet, but if anyone can do it, it’s Liverpool.
Tie with goals – 3/1
Two of the last three meetings between these sides have ended as score draws. We can’t see either team failing to find the net, but City will be the happier of the two to settle for a point given their remaining fixtures.
Man City win, Both to score, Kevin De Bruyne anytime goalscorer – 20/1
City have experienced plenty of success in this fixture in recent years. With the home advantage we’ve just given them the edge, although Liverpool are almost certain to find the net. De Bruyne looks as likely as any to open the scoring – the Belgian has netted five in his last five games.
