Manchester City will look to breathe life back into their Premier League title challenge at Liverpool after securing their place in the Carabao Cup final midweek.

City sealed a comfortable 5-1 aggregate win over Newcastle on Wednesday to set up a Wembley showdown with Arsenal next month, but before then they will seek to recover ground on the league leaders.

Last weekend’s disappointing 2-2 draw at Tottenham left City with just one win in six league games in 2026 and six points to make up on Arsenal.

Liverpool have also flattered to deceive so far this year but will hope their last two matches — emphatic home wins over Qarabag and Newcastle — signal a return to form ahead of City’s visit.

Honours have been fairly even in recent meetings between these two north-west superpowers and we think a draw @ 5/2 is the likeliest outcome on Sunday.

Liverpool vs Manchester City Head-to-Head

City brushed aside Liverpool 3-0 at the Etihad in November but that was their first win in five meetings against the Reds .

Last season Liverpool did the double over City , winning both matches 2-0 en route to the title, while the previous campaign saw two 1-1 draws.

Man City’s record at Anfield is poor, with just one win in their last 24 visits stretching back to 2003. Goalless stalemates are also rare in this fixture, so a score draw @ 16/5 looks appealing.

Arne Slot will hope the big wins over Qarabag and Newcastle are signs of better things to come for the stuttering champions.

Liverpool failed to win any of their opening five league games of 2026 and slipped to sixth, although they remain just two points off fourth place.

Encouragingly, summer signings Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike are settling well, while Mohamed Salah is back among the goals after ending a three-month drought.

The Egypt international has scored in 13 of the last 22 meetings with City and is 6/4 to notch again this weekend.

Pep Guardiola rang the changes after City surrendered a 2-0 lead at Tottenham and was rewarded with a 3-1 win over Newcastle .

Omar Marmoush and Tijjani Reijnders did early damage against the Magpies , allowing Guardiola to rest Erling Haaland , Rodri , Ruben Dias , Marc Guehi , Rayan Cherki and Gianluigi Donnarumma .

Most of those stars are expected to return at Anfield , but Marmoush’s form gives Guardiola food for thought.

Haaland is 20/21 to score at any time and, thanks to BOYLE Sports’ Sub Swap feature, any bet would transfer if he is substituted.
