Manchester City vs Liverpool Prediction and Betting Tips | November 9th 2025

Manchester City will entertain defending champions Liverpool at Etihad Stadium in the Premier League on Sunday. Both teams have won six of their 10 league games thus far, though second-placed City have a one-point lead.

The Cityzens overcame Bournemouth 3-1 at home last week, thanks to Erling Haaland's brace. They extended their winning streak across all competitions to four games on Wednesday with a 4-1 home triumph over Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League. Haaland scored against his former team, while Phil Foden bagged a brace.

The Reds returned to winning ways in the league after four consecutive defeats last week, recording a 2-0 home triumph over Aston Villa. Mohamed Salah scored late in the first half, and Ryan Gravenberch added a goal after the break. They made it two wins in a row earlier this week, defeating Real Madrid 1-0 in the Champions League.

Manchester City vs Liverpool Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

• The two teams have a long-standing rivalry and have crossed paths 228 times in all competitions. The visitors have the lead in the head-to-head record, with 110 wins. City have 60 wins, and 58 games have ended in draws.
• The Reds are unbeaten in their last four games in this fixture and secured a league double last season, recording 2-0 home and away wins.
• City have the best attacking record in the league this season, outscoring Liverpool 20-18.
• Manchester City are unbeaten across all competitions since August, recording six consecutive wins.
• The defending champions have lost six of their last nine games in all competitions, with four of these defeats registered on their travels.
• City have failed to score in just one of their last 15 home games in this fixture.
• The Reds have suffered just one loss in Premier League meetings against the hosts since 2021.

Manchester City vs Liverpool Prediction

City have won their last three games, scoring 10 goals, and they have conceded one goal apiece in these games. They are on a six-game winning streak at home, scoring 19 goals while keeping three clean sheets, and are strong favorites.

Mateo Kovacic remains unavailable to Pep Guardiola due to an injury. Rodri came off the bench against Aston Villa last week and is unlikely to be risked here.

The Reds have a good recent record in this fixture and scored four goals without conceding in two meetings against City last season. Nonetheless, they have lost four of their last five away games across all competitions.

Alisson Becker, Giovanni Leoni, and Jeremie Frimpong are the confirmed absentees for the visitors, while Alexander Isak is a major doubt.

City head into the match on a three-game winning streak, and considering the recent home form, we back them to eke out a narrow win.
