Latest Liverpool vs Man City football review
“Liverpool, top of the table, Liverpool, Liverpool top of the table” is not only a familiar chant for loyal fans, but also a fact that reflects the excellent form of The Reds in both the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League (UCL). The spectacular 3-2 victory over Southampton recently not only affirmed their strength but also helped coach Arne Slot become the third manager in history to win 10 of his first 12 Premier League matches.
The impressive form continued in midweek, as Liverpool beat Real Madrid for the first time since 2009, recording their 17th win of the season (D1 L1). Having already beaten the Spanish and European champions, and German champions Bayer Leverkusen at Anfield, they now prepare to host English champions Manchester City, a team they have lost just once in their last 21 Premier League home games (W13 D7).
There could hardly be a better time to face Man City, who are going through their worst spell in recent memory. Midweek’s bizarre 3-3 draw against Feyenoord in the Champions League, despite leading 3-0 until the 75th minute, marked the first time in Pep Guardiola’s career (942 games) that his side failed to win after leading by three goals.
The draw ended a run of five straight defeats, but still left Guardiola on the brink of going seven games without a win for the first time in his career. Three of those defeats have come in the Premier League, opening up a massive eight-point gap between them and Liverpool. A fourth successive defeat in the English top flight – something they haven’t done since August 2008 – would put their hopes of securing a fifth successive Premier League title in jeopardy.
Notable factors:
Mohamed Salah currently leads the league in goals and assists combined with 16, and he will be looking to continue his fine form, having contributed 11 goals in his last 10 games 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 he has scored in before losing to Brighton and drawing with Feyenoord.
Impressive streak:
None of Liverpool's last six managers have lost their first Premier League game against the reigning champions (W4 D2).

Key player information to watch out for in Liverpool vs Man City
About Liverpool player Mohamed Salah
The Egyptian winger has once again proven his importance this season for Liverpool, scoring 12 goals and providing 10 assists in 19 games across all competitions.
However, Salah has recently been in the spotlight with speculation about his future. His contract expires at the end of the season, and Salah has repeatedly stated that he has not received any offers from the club to extend it.
He also missed a penalty in the Champions League against Real Madrid in midweek. Although Liverpool still won 2-0, Salah will definitely want to make amends in the next match. He has a good record against Man City, scoring 11 goals and providing 6 assists in 21 appearances.
About Man City player Erling Haaland
The Norwegian striker is currently leading the Premier League scoring charts this season with 12 goals in 12 games. However, recent reality shows that Erling Haaland has struggled to score in important matches. He has missed many big chances, which has been detrimental to Man City.
Haaland scored twice in the midweek game against Feyenoord. However, Man City let a 3-0 lead slip and the game ended in a 3-3 draw. However, this individual performance could help him regain confidence. Haaland has scored 3 goals in 7 games against Liverpool and will be looking to improve on that record in the upcoming match on Sunday.

Liverpool vs Man City score prediction
This is a crucial match between two teams who have been fiercely competing for the Premier League title in recent seasons. With Arsenal joining the race, both Liverpool and Man City cannot afford to drop any more points if they do not want to fall behind.
Liverpool are in impressive form, winning 14 of their last 15 games in all competitions, drawing just one. They also won 2-0 against Real Madrid at Anfield in the Champions League, taking their winning streak to six games.
Meanwhile, Man City have just ended a run of five consecutive defeats with a 3-3 draw with Feyenoord at home in the Champions League. However, this draw was disappointing as they lost a 3-0 lead within just the last 15 minutes of the match.
Pep Guardiola will be desperate to end a six-game winless streak and claim all three points at Anfield. However, facing a Liverpool side on the rise will be no easy task. With several key players returning from injury, City will be hoping to pull off a surprise and narrowly win.
Our prediction: Liverpool 1-2 Man City
