Latest football match prediction: Liverpool vs Man City
“Liverpool, top of the table, Liverpool, Liverpool, top of the table” is not only a familiar chant among loyal fans, but also a truth reflecting The Reds’ superb form in both the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League (UCL). Their spectacular 3-2 victory against Southampton recently not only confirmed their strength but also helped manager Arne Slot become only the third person in history to win 10 of his first 12 Premier League matches.
Their impressive form continued midweek, with Liverpool beating Real Madrid for the first time since 2009, marking their 17th win of the season (1 draw, 1 loss). After defeating the Spanish and European champions, as well as German champions Bayer Leverkusen at Anfield, they now prepare to host Manchester City – the English champions, a team they have only lost to once in their last 21 home Premier League encounters (13 wins, 7 draws).
There seems to be no better time to face Man City than when they are experiencing their worst slump in recent memory. The bizarre 3-3 draw against Feyenoord in the Champions League last week, despite leading 3-0 until the 75th minute, marked the first time in Pep Guardiola's career (942 matches) that his team failed to win after taking a three-goal lead.
This draw ended a run of five consecutive defeats, but still puts Guardiola at risk of going seven games without a win for the first time in his career. Three of those defeats came in the Premier League, opening up a massive eight-point gap between them and Liverpool. A fourth consecutive loss in the top flight – something that hasn't happened since August 2008 – would make their hopes of defending their Premier League title for the fifth consecutive time very slim.
Key factors to note:
Mohamed Salah currently leads the league in combined goals and assists with 16, and he is poised to continue his impressive form, having contributed 11 goals in his last 10 matches against Man City (7 goals, 4 assists). His biggest rival in the Golden Boot race is none other than Erling Haaland, who has helped Man City win 18 of the 19 games in which he scored before losing to Brighton and drawing with Feyenoord.
An impressive run of form:
None of Liverpool's last six managers have lost their first Premier League match against the reigning champions (4 wins, 2 draws).

Key player information to watch in the Liverpool vs Man City match.
Regarding Liverpool player Mohamed Salah
The Egyptian winger has once again affirmed his crucial role this season for Liverpool. Mohamed Salah has scored 12 goals and provided 10 assists in 19 appearances across all competitions.
However, Salah has recently also become the focus of attention due to speculation about his future. His contract expires at the end of the season, and Salah has repeatedly stated that he has not received any extension offer from the club.
Furthermore, he recently missed a penalty in the Champions League match against Real Madrid earlier this week. Although Liverpool still won 2-0, Salah will certainly want to make amends in the next game. He has a fairly good record against Man City, scoring 11 goals and providing 6 assists in 21 appearances.
Regarding Manchester City player Erling Haaland
The Norwegian striker currently leads the Premier League scoring charts this season with 12 goals in 12 games. However, recent events show Erling Haaland struggling to score in crucial matches. He has missed numerous big opportunities, which has been detrimental to Man City.
In midweek's match against Feyenoord, Haaland scored a brace. However, Man City lost their 3-0 lead and the game ended in a 3-3 draw. Nevertheless, this individual performance could help him regain his confidence. Haaland has scored 3 goals in 7 matches against Liverpool and will be looking to improve that record in Sunday's upcoming game.

Predicting the score for Liverpool vs Man City
This is an extremely important match, between two teams that have fiercely competed for the Premier League title in recent seasons. With Arsenal in the race, both Liverpool and Man City cannot afford to drop any more points if they don't want to fall behind.
Liverpool are in impressive form, having won 14 of their last 15 matches in all competitions, with only one draw. They also recently won 2-0 against Real Madrid at Anfield in the Champions League, extending their winning streak to six consecutive matches.
Meanwhile, Man City ended a run of five consecutive defeats with a 3-3 draw against Feyenoord at home in the Champions League. However, this draw was disappointing as they lost a 3-0 lead in the final 15 minutes of the match.
Manager Pep Guardiola will be desperate to end his six-match winless streak and secure all three points at Anfield. However, facing a resurgent Liverpool will be no easy challenge. With several key players returning from injury, Man City hopes to spring a surprise and win by a narrow margin.
Our prediction: Liverpool 1-2 Man City
