Match Preview

Life has been good for Arne Slot since taking over from Jurgen Klopp over the summer, as he has led Liverpool to an excellent start to the season. The Reds come into this round of matches with an eight-point advantage at the summit, winning ten of their opening 12 matches. Last weekend’s win at Southampton means that the Reds have now won each of their last three.

It has been a different story for Man City to this point. The champions look like shells of their former selves after going six without a win across all competitions. A sign of their issues was evident in midweek after throwing away a 3-0 lead against Feyenoord to draw 3-3 at the Etihad.

Liverpool’s overall head-to-head record in recent seasons doesn’t read well, as they have won just once in their last nine against the champions. Their only success was recorded at Anfield in October 2022. However, it could be worth noting that five of the last nine matches between the sides have ended in draws.

Man City’s record at Anfield also leaves a lot to be desired. City have won on just one of their last 21 Premier League visits to the stadium, and they haven’t won with fans in attendance at the ground since May 2003. In fact, the away team when Man City and Liverpool collide has won just 11% of the 54 top-flight meetings.

A significant trend could be City’s record against teams starting the day at the top of the standings. The champions have won five of their last six, but their only defeat was suffered at Anfield in November 2019.
