Prediction

  • Both of these teams have had mixed fortunes in their previous matches. Manchester City played Arsenal in a blockbuster game that saw them losing 4-3. They sit in fourth on 25 points, two points behind Arsenal in third.
  • Liverpool managed to narrowly win 1-0 against West Ham and sit around mid-table in seventh but a win could see them possibly rise to fifth.
  • City have won nine of their last 11 matches against Liverpool, beating the Reds 5-1 in this exact fixture last season. Liverpool have lost seven of eight away games with the only exception being a 1-1 draw in June 2016 when they were managed by Scott Rodgers.
  • City have shipped four goals in each of their last two home games, having only done so in two of their first 103 home games in the league.
  • Only two other teams have done this three times in a row. They are Doncaster Rovers Belles who lost three in a row in 2013 and four in a row in 2016, and also Birmingham City who lost three in a row in 2021. That looks unlikely here but this could be a close match that could end in a draw.
