Manchester City vs Liverpool prediction, H2H and probable lineups - 9 November 2025
One of the key fixtures of Matchday 11 in the English Premier League will take place on Sunday at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester, where the local side Manchester City will host Liverpool. Here’s a betting tip for the outcome of this clash with solid chances for success.
Match preview
The Citizens confidently defeated Bournemouth (3-1) in the previous round, and have lost only once in their last six league outings — against Aston Villa. The team is displaying consistent form, especially on home turf, where they have won 9 of their last 10 matches. City sit in second place, but are already six points behind Arsenal.
Pep Guardiola’s men remain the most prolific team in the league, averaging two or more goals per game at the Etihad. Their dominance in quality of play, powerful attack, and clinical finishing make City the favorites going into this encounter.
Liverpool ended their winless run with back-to-back clean-sheet victories — over Aston Villa in the Premier League and Real Madrid in the Champions League. The team has found its balance and grown in confidence, especially in defense, which had previously been a weak spot. Returning to solid form is crucial ahead of their trip to Manchester.
However, their away record still leaves much to be desired — three consecutive defeats on the road in the Premier League. Nevertheless, Liverpool have shown impressive attacking potential and know how to challenge City, as demonstrated by their head-to-head success in recent years.
Probable lineups
- Manchester City: Donnarumma; Nunes, Dias, Gvardiol, O'Reilly; Gonzalez; Cherki, Silva, Foden, Doku; Haaland
- Liverpool: Mamardashvili; Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Wirtz; Ekitike
Match facts and head-to-head
- Manchester City have won 9 of their last 10 home Premier League matches.
- Liverpool have lost their last three away league matches.
- In the last 8 Premier League meetings, Liverpool have lost to City only once.
Prediction
This promises to be a thrilling encounter: both teams are among the highest-scoring sides in the league and boast tremendous attacking power. Liverpool have hit form and are mentally ready to challenge City, despite being the away side. Our bet for the match: "Liverpool to win with a (+1.0) handicap" at odds of 1.53.
