- Team form: Manchester City (W) have won three of their last five matches in all competitions (D1, L1) while Liverpool (W) have won three of their last five (D1, L1).
- Head-to-head: Manchester City (W) have won the last three head-to-head meetings between these sides in all competitions.
- Home form: Manchester City (W) have won all 10 of their Super League Women 2025/2026 home games this campaign.
City look to confirm their title credentials
Manchester City (W) are the clear favorites to win the Women’s Super League title after collecting 49 points from 20 games this term and sitting at the top of the Super League Women 2025/2026 table.
Andrée Jeglertz’s approach is process-driven and based on a high-pressing game and a 4-2-3-1/4-3-3 system that is built to control the tempo and create chances wide or through the striker. The Blues are perfect at home this league season and should have the quality and character to see out another three points against a Liverpool (W) side that have won once, drawn two and lost seven of their 10 away Super League Women 2025/2026 games so far.
Liverpool (W) are 10th in the Super League Women 2025/2026, with only 17 points from 20 matches, and they arrive in the North West in mixed form after a 3-2 away win over Everton (W), advancing in the FA Cup Women, and a disappointing 0-1 home defeat against West Ham United (W).
Expect a high-scoring game
Tactics
Gareth Taylor has moulded this new-look Liverpool (W) squad into a pragmatic, flexible and competitive side that can play in a 4-1-4-1/4-2-3-1 system. Liverpool (W) play in a patient manner, using the ball wide and late runs into the box but they are just as comfortable with possession as they are trying to take advantage of transition situations.
Players to watch
- Liverpool (W) have the form player in the squad right now in Ceri Holland who has scored three of the Reds’ last four goals in their last five matches and they should be able to get on the scoresheet on Sunday.
- However, the Blues have the best striker in the league in Khadija Shaw, who has 19 goals in 20 Super League Women 2025/2026 appearances and five in her last five games, while Beata Olsson has only six in 14 for the Reds.
Prediction
Given the odds and the respective home and away records, we think a home win for the home side is most likely but the superior attacking records of both clubs and the leaky defence of Liverpool (W) suggest there will be goals.
Over 2.5 goals is 1.4 and that looks like a good value bet.
