Premier League: Manchester City vs Liverpool Live Stream
Preview
Manchester City face Liverpool in a highly anticipated Premier League clash this Saturday at the Etihad Stadium. Pep Guardiola’s team aims to maintain their lead at the top of the table against Jurgen Klopp’s side, who trail by just one point. The match kicks off at 12:30 pm GMT.
Manchester City faced a dramatic 4-4 draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in their recent outing. City’s lead at the top of the table slightly diminished following the result, leaving them just one point clear. Liverpool and Arsenal are close behind, while Tottenham and Aston Villa could also pose threats depending on their outcomes. Guardiola’s side has been formidable at home, boasting 15 wins from 15 league matches at the Etihad in 2023, with an overall 23-game winning streak in home fixtures across tournaments. They aim to match Sunderland’s record of 24 successive home wins set between 1890 and 1892, though Liverpool aim to amend past results and challenge City’s dominance at the Etihad.
Liverpool head to the Etihad Stadium closely trailing Man City in the title race. Despite a solid win against Brentford, Klopp’s focus is on improving their away record after just one win in five travels. Defensive frailties persist, highlighted in recent Etihad visits where they suffered defeats. Although unbeaten in four of their last six clashes against City, the encounter promises an evenly-matched affair, leaving the result up for grabs.
Head-to-Head
In their last five league encounters, the results have been varied: City clinched two victories with a 4-1 scoreline, Liverpool secured a one-goal win, and the remaining two matches ended in draws.
Prediction
The upcoming lunchtime kickoff might witness a slightly hindered performance from both sides due to fresh concerns post-international duties. While Liverpool’s attacking prowess remains consistent, Man City has been dominant at the Etihad this year. Expect a tight match, but City’s home advantage could see them clinch a victory.
