Manchester City vs Liverpool: Can Pep’s Citizens Hurt Liverpool’s Title Charge at the Etihad

Two of England’s most successful clubs clash in a high-stakes Premier League showdown at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday, and the question on the minds of most is, can City for old time's sake, hurt Liverpool’s title charge with a surprise win?

City, reeling from a Champions League exit at the hands of Real Madrid, look to continue their strong domestic form, while Liverpool aim to bounce back from recent inconsistencies in their title charge.

🔵Man City Aim to Extend Home Winning Streak | Home Win = 2.98💵

Manchester City have rediscovered their domestic groove, winning their last three Premier League home games while scoring at least three goals in each. Their 4-0 demolition of Newcastle last weekend showcased their attacking prowess, with Omar Marmoush netting a hat-trick.

Despite trailing Liverpool by 17 points, Guardiola’s men remain a formidable force on a good day. A win against the league leaders would bolster their top-four hopes, with the Citizens boasting a league-best 24.7% conversion rate in 2025.

🔴Liverpool Seek to Solidify Title Charge | Away Win = 2.37💵

Liverpool arrive at the Etihad top of the table but showing cracks in recent weeks. With just one win in their last four games, including a 2-2 draw at Aston Villa midweek, the Reds need a response. Mohamed Salah, involved in 13 Premier League goals against City, remains their key attacking threat.

Despite their dip in form, Slot’s side remain unbeaten away from home in the league this season, scoring in all 14 road matches. A victory at City would reaffirm their title credentials and provide a crucial cushion over Arsenal.

🗝️Key Players & Team News📰:

City faces injury concerns with Haaland (knee) a doubt, while Stones, Rodri, Akanji, and Oscar Bobb are ruled out. Marmoush is expected to lead the line, with Phil Foden providing creativity. Ederson, eyeing a record third consecutive assist, adds an unexpected attacking outlet. 

Liverpool could be without Gakpo, Joe Gomez, and Conor Bradley, with the latter likely sidelined due to a hamstring issue. Salah’s form will be crucial, while Trent Alexander-Arnold looks to build on his equalizer against Villa.
