Liverpool have only lost one of their last 20 league games at Anfield against Man City (W13 D6), a 4-1 defeat in February 2021 with no fans in the stadium. However, home and away the Reds have enjoyed only one win in their last eight Premier League matches against the Manchester club (D4 L3), a 1-0 victory in this exact fixture at Anfield last season when Salah scored a 76th-minute winner.
Indeed, just two of the last 30 Premier League matches between these two title contenders have been won by the away side (16 home wins, 12 draws). Of the 54 fixtures to have been played at least 40 times in the competition, this game boasts the lowest proportion won by the away team (11% – 6/53).
Klopp and Guardiola’s respective sides can barely even be split for points gained from losing positions this league campaign. Liverpool have managed 22 from such scenarios, one more than City (21).
However, the side scoring first has only lost one of the last 19 league meetings between the two clubs (W13 D5 – excluding 0-0 draws), with that being the Reds’ 4-1 defeat at the Etihad Stadium last season. In the most recent fixture, Alexander-Arnold cancelled out Haaland’s opener in a 1-1 draw.
Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Kelleher; Bradley, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson; Szoboszlai, Endo, Mac Allister; Salah, Nunez, Diaz
Manchester City possible starting lineup:
Ederson; Walker, Dias, Stones, Ake; Silva, Rodri, De Bruyne; Foden, Haaland, Alvarez

Prediction: Liverpool 1-2 Manchester City
While Liverpool have so far proven infallible at Anfield this season, several factors are working against Klopp's side - including an unenviable injury list and limited recovery time from an away game in Europe - and the hosts conceded numerous gilt-edged chances to Sparta Prague even with a strong XI on the field. Given the Reds' propensity to ship goals at Anfield, a Man City side boasting fresher legs and a perfect road record in 2024 have our vote to capitalise on their hosts' fatigue, deny Klopp an unbeaten farewell season at home and wrestle back control of the Premier League title race.
