- Liverpool’s games produce plenty of action, averaging 3.4 goals with 80% over 2.5 goals.

Pep Guardiola’s City are in ruthless form, averaging 2.6 goals per game while conceding less than one. Their consistency at home has been frightening, and with Haaland eyeing a personal milestone, the atmosphere will be electric. It’s also Guardiola’s 1,000th game as a manager and what a stage to celebrate it. The Sky Blues have won their last three games across all competitions, scoring 10 in the process. Still, there’s a sense of pressure here; Arsenal’s early lead means City can’t afford any slip-ups.
On the other hand, Liverpool arrive looking re-energized under Arne Slot. After patchy form earlier in the campaign, back-to-back clean sheets against Aston Villa and Real Madrid suggest a defensive revival. The Reds’ average of 1.6 goals scored and 1.8 conceded paints a volatile picture, but when they click, they’re unstoppable. Salah’s rediscovered spark, scoring in two straight Premier League games is a warning sign. Can Slot’s men pull off another masterclass away from home? Hard to say, but the hunger’s back.
Tactically, this could hinge on City’s left flank. Doku’s explosiveness against Liverpool’s young right-back Conor Bradley might be decisive. City have created over 40% of their chances from that side, while Liverpool have conceded nearly half their opportunities down the same channel. That overlap could spell trouble. Yet, if Bradley can repeat his composed performance against Vinícius Júnior midweek, this duel could be tighter than many expect.
Expect goals, tension, and moments of brilliance, exactly what this fixture always promises. Both teams average over 3.4 goals per match, so it’s fair to predict another open battle. With City’s structure and Liverpool’s renewed energy, this game could swing either way. One thing’s for sure: the Premier League Stat Leaders will have their work cut out updating the numbers after this one.
Pep Guardiola will mark his 1,000th game as a manager when Manchester City face Liverpool on Sunday, celebrating a career defined by “dedication, passion and love.” The City boss reflected on 715 victories and 39 trophies across spells at Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and City, calling Liverpool the “perfect rival” for this milestone and the fiercest opponent in English football.

Manchester City’s consistency at home makes the 1X option a strong choice. The team averages 2.6 goals scored and concedes just 0.8 per game, highlighting both attacking firepower and defensive solidity. Guardiola’s side has won their last three matches, scoring ten goals in total, and they rarely drop points at the Etihad. Liverpool, meanwhile, have been unpredictable away from home, losing three consecutive league matches on the road. Although Arne Slot’s men have improved defensively, City’s combination of control, possession, and Haaland’s clinical finishing remains unmatched. Even if Liverpool manage to grab a goal, City’s resilience and depth make defeat unlikely. Given that this is Guardiola’s 1,000th match as a coach, motivation will be sky-high. The 1X bet covers both a City win and draw, making it statistically and emotionally the smart play for this high-stakes Premier League clash.
If there’s one thing we’ve learned about City and Liverpool, it’s that their meetings rarely lack drama or goals. City have scored in every game this season, averaging 2.6 per match, while Liverpool average 1.6. That’s already enough to support an Over 1.5 pick. Historical trends also favor it, these teams love attacking football, and neither tends to settle for a draw. Haaland is two goals shy of his Premier League century, and Salah’s back among the goals. Even if both teams start cautiously, their attacking depth ensures this game won’t end goalless. Both sides’ Over 2.5 percentages (City 60%, Liverpool 80%) underline the offensive rhythm. With Doku and Foden adding width and creativity, and Liverpool pressing high, expect chances from both ends. Over 1.5 Goals isn’t just probable, it’s almost tradition when these two collide.
