- The head-to-head record for this matchup over the past five outings reads: W2, D1, L2.

The clash of styles is upon us
The latest clash between Liverpool and Manchester City was played out seven months ago in the Premier League 2025/2026, with City ending the Reds' unbeaten run with a 2-1 victory in the away fixture. The clash of football styles looks set to be just as tight this weekend, with Andoni Iraola pressing from the front and moving the ball fast against Enzo Maresca's patient ball-playing approach.
Liverpool have been dogged on home soil in the Premier League 2026/2027, but after playing two and drawing two of those games, they've conceded two goals in return. They've won their last two games though, beating Tottenham 3-1 at home in the EFL Cup 2026/2027 before grinding out a 1-0 victory at Bournemouth in the previous round of Premier League 2026/2027 fixtures.
City come into this game on a high after hammering Norwich 5-0 at home in their most recent outing in the EFL Cup 2026/2027, following on from their dramatic 5-3 home win over Sunderland in the Premier League 2026/2027 a week prior. The Cityzens have been perfect on the road in the new season, winning two of their two games, scoring 2.5 goals per-game and conceding just 0.5 per-match on average.
City can edge this one at Anfield
Liverpool enter this game in sixth spot in the Premier League 2026/2027 with nine points from five games, while City top the table with 15 points from the same amount of games. The odds for this clash are almost identical for both sides at 2.52 and given the history of the game, I think we're going to play it close.
However, City's unbeaten away record in the Premier League 2026/2027 and Haaland's deadly finishing give them the edge in this clash. The most attractive bet in this one is over 2.5 goals at 1.57, as these two have enough firepower in their ranks to make this a entertaining fixture.
Cody Gakpo has been the creative force behind Liverpool's play in the Premier League 2026/2027, registering three assists in his first five appearances. He can create something from nothing, as he's done three times in their last eight goals and he'll be looking to carve out a chance against this Cityzens defence on Sunday.
