Manchester City vs Liverpool Prediction & Picks - Premier League

 by Bradley Gibbs | in Premier League Picks

Concluding what has been a big week for both teams, Manchester City and Liverpool are due to clash at Etihad Stadium on Sunday, when both the hosts and the visitors will be hoping to bounce back following disappointing mid-week efforts. 

Further progression in the UEFA Champions League eluded Pep Guardiola's men in the week, with City losing away to Real Madrid, having lost the first leg at home a week earlier. That result prompted Guardiola to alude to the fact that his City team is in the worst place that its ever been. Given the rough ride that the multiple Premier League champions have endured this season, Sunday's task is far from a simple one, even if it is at home.

For the Reds, a title win is still on the cards, though they will need to end their wobble sooner rather than later. Not for the first time in recent weeks, Arne Slot's men were unable to get the job done during the week, as they were held to a tie by Aston Villa. Having won only one of their last three in the league, the men looking to win the league could do with a win, but can they get it?

Manchester City - Liverpool: Form Analysis

Consistency continues to be a mega problem for Guardiola and Manchester City. Sunday's hosts are constantly having to recover, and that just won't do. They've not won back-to-back games in the EPL since the first week in January. 

The same can be said for the visitors, though the problems don't go quite as deep, with the Reds only recently beginning to struggle to be at their best on a consistent basis.

Manchester City & Liverpool Squad Analysis

In terms of injuries, the hosts are slightly worse off than the visitors at present. Manuel Akanji and Oscar Bobb continue to be sidelined, while key midfielder Rodri remains out too. John Stones is also unlikely to feature, plus there are also doubts over Erling Haaland. 

there are also doubts over Erling Haaland. 

Cody Gakpo is unlikely to start for Liverpool and may not even be deemed fit enough for the bench. Connor Bradley and Joe Gomez are the other likely absentees for the visitors.

Manchester City - Liverpool Key Points

  1. Dominik Szoboszlai is Liverpool's second best player in terms of shots this season.
  2. Dominik Szoboszlai currently averages 2.50 shots per 90 minutes in the Premier League this season.
  3. Dominik Szoboszlai has registered at least one shot on target in all but one of his last six appearances.
  4. In his last six games, Dominik Szoboszlai has registered seven shots on target.

Our Manchester City vs Liverpool Prediction

We know that this Man City team has been all over the place defensively this season and they continue to give up chances, so don't be surprised if the visitors, who can be menacing in the final third, enjoy themselves offensively. Dominik Szoboszlai has been in good form of late and with the Hungarian looking to shoot on a regular basis, firing off shots with accuracy too, odds of +115 may just be a tad generous. Our Man City vs Liverpool Prediction: Dominik Szoboszlai Over 0.5 Shots on Target.
