Liverpool welcome Manchester City to Anfield in a high-stakes Premier League clash. As the Reds impressed in a 4-1 win over Newcastle, our prediction leans toward a 2-1 home win. At home, Liverpool have been strong, averaging 2.33 points per game, scoring 2.83 goals per match and conceding just 0.67, with 33% clean sheets and BTTS landing in 67% of home fixtures. Their expected goals of 2.64 highlights their ability to create high-quality chances consistently. Arne Slot is still without key Joseph Gomez, Jeremie Frimpong, and Alexander Isak, but the trio was not missed in the crushing of Magpies.
Manchester City aim to close the gap on league leaders Arsenal after dropping a two-goal lead in a 2-2 draw with Tottenham. Midfielder Rayan Cherki should be fit, bolstering City’s attack. Away from home, they average 1 point per game, scoring 1 goal per match, conceding 1.4, with BTTS in 40% of away fixtures. As always, top scorer Erling Haaland will lead the line for the title-chasing visitors.
Historically, this fixture is action-packed, with 64% of meetings over 2.5 goals and BTTS in 64% of matches. As Man City are low on confidence following the slim 2-2 draw with Tottenham, Home Win is our main betting tip, alongside Over 2.5 goals and Hugo Ekitike to Score.
This Premier League match will be played on Sunday 8 February 2026 at 16:30.
