Liverpool vs Manchester City: Preview
Form
Liverpool have comfortably been the best team in Europe this season. Under Arne Slot, they have been thoroughly dominant in the Premier League, amassing 31 points from 12 matches (10 W, 1 D, 1 L). The Reds have been even more convincing in the UEFA Champions League, emerging as the only team with a 100% record after five Matchdays.
In their most recent outing, Liverpool claimed a commanding 2-0 victory over UEFA Champions League opponents Real Madrid. Meanwhile, in their last Premier League match, Slot’s men came from behind to beat Southampton 3-2 at St Mary’s Stadium.
Defending champions Manchester City, on the other hand, have looked rudderless in the last few games. After a strong start to the 2024-25 Premier League campaign, Pep Guardiola’s men have lost their way, lacking the composure and conviction to grind out results.
Manchester City, who are sitting in second place in the Premier League rankings with 23 points, have lost five of their last six matches in all competitions, drawing the other. In their last Premier League game on November 23, they fell to an embarrassing 4-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur. Then, in midweek, Man City shockingly blew a three-goal lead to draw 3-3 with Feyenoord in the UEFA Champions League.
