Liverpool vs Manchester City prediction
Liverpool are unbeaten in all competitions this season but there have been signs of vulnerability at times. They conceded three times to Brentford last weekend, shipped a couple to AC Milan, and couldn’t break down a Chelsea side with a man less for 45 minutes.
The Citizens suffered a 2-0 loss to Paris Saint-Germain in the midweek’s Champions League and will be keen to bounce back this weekend. They’ve had one of the best defense so far in the Premier League, conceding only a single goal.
