Liverpool vs Man City Prediction and Analysis: Putting the King on the Sledgehammer

Latest team news for Liverpool vs Manchester City

Trent Alexander-Arnold has been confirmed fit to start Sunday's game after returning to the squad for the Real Madrid match but not playing. This is a crucial addition as Conor Bradley suffered a hamstring injury in the Champions League. Additionally, Ibrahima Konate is also injured and could see Joe Gomez start alongside Virgil van Dijk for the first time this season.

Several players, including Federico Chiesa (fitness issues), Diogo Jota (abdominal problems), Alisson Becker (hamstring injury), and Kostas Tsimikas (ankle injury), will be absent from the December 1st match. Coach Slot may replace Curtis Jones with Dominik Szoboszlai.

For Man City, the only positive thing they can take from their defeat against Feyenoord is the return of Ruben Dias from a calf injury, and no other players suffered injuries in the match. Jeremy Doku (thigh problem) has returned to training and is available to play, but John Stones (leg injury), Rodri (ACL injury), Oscar Bobb (leg injury) and Mateo Kovacic (injury unspecified) remain absent.

Guardiola didn't start Kevin De Bruyne in the last match, but both De Bruyne and Savinho could change the game for Man City in the attacking area. Guardiola also has to decide on Matheus Nunes after his outstanding performance in the Champions League.

Latest football match prediction: Liverpool vs Manchester City

Liverpool ended their losing streak against Real Madrid in the Champions League on Wednesday night, winning 3-0 thanks to goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo, and a superb penalty save from Caoimhin Kelleher from Kylian Mbappe. This keeps them perfectly on record in European competitions for the 2024-25 season and puts them top of both the Premier League and the Champions League. Earlier, Liverpool came from behind to beat Southampton 3-2, with a brace from Mohamed Salah, extending their winning streak to six consecutive matches.

With impressive form, Liverpool have kept clean sheets in their last three matches at Anfield against strong opponents such as Real Madrid, Aston Villa and Bayer Leverkusen. They are ready to welcome Man City this Sunday, confident of maintaining a safe distance in the league table.

As for Man City, they just suffered a terrible defeat against Feyenoord in the Champions League, conceding two goals to equalize despite leading by three. This was the sixth consecutive game without a win for Pep Guardiola's team, leaving them close to dropping out of the top four in the Premier League, with Arsenal, Chelsea, and Brighton just one point behind. Man City are also struggling, having lost all four of their most recent away games.

Nevertheless, Man City's powerful attack remains a bright spot, with a streak of 26 consecutive away games scoring. However, they will face a major challenge against Liverpool, a team that has not lost to Man City in their last four matches, and Guardiola only has a 27% win rate against Liverpool, the lowest of any team he has faced at least five times.
