Liverpool entered the match eight points behind Man City in the league table. However, the recent form of both teams is quite similar, with both having only won one of their last six Premier League matches.
After a difficult start to 2026 with a series of draws and a heavy defeat against Bournemouth, Liverpool finally rediscovered the joy of winning by beating Newcastle 4-1.
The ability to come from behind continues to be a strength of "The Kop". Since the start of the 2024/25 season, Liverpool have earned 28 points in the Premier League after falling behind, a record among the highest in the league. The Anfield side's attack is also in good form, having scored 15 goals in their last four matches across all competitions.
Nevertheless, the race for a Champions League spot remains fierce. Liverpool are currently two points behind Manchester United and one point behind Chelsea, while Brentford and Sunderland are still close behind.

On the other side, Man City also lacks consistent form. Pep Guardiola's team recently drew 2-2 with Tottenham despite leading by two goals. Dropping points in 5 of their last 6 matches has left Man City 6 points behind Arsenal in the title race. The Citizens' away form is also worrying, having failed to win in their last 3 away games and conceding at least two goals in each match.
Nevertheless, Man City received a morale boost when they beat Newcastle 3-1 in the League Cup semi-final to secure a place in the final against Arsenal. Furthermore, their 3-0 victory over Liverpool in November 2025 gives them added confidence for the upcoming rematch.
For Liverpool, this is a crucial opportunity to close the gap in the race for the top five. For Man City, a win at Anfield could help them maintain their hopes of catching up with Arsenal.
