Key Facts
- Manchester City leads the Premier League with 15 points, while Liverpool, in sixth place with nine points, is looking to close the gap despite remaining undefeated in league play.
- Manchester City has won its last five games; in the 5-3 victory over Sunderland, Antoine Semenyo, with two goals, and Erling Haaland highlighted the team’s attacking strength.
- Alexander Isak, Liverpool’s game-winner against Bournemouth, is out, as are Cody Gakpo and Hugo Ekitiké; which limits Liverpool’s options on offense.
- The “Both Teams to Score: No” pick is supported by Manchester City’s four clean sheets in their last five games; however, the 5-3 win over Sunderland highlights a defensive vulnerability.
Match Preview
Man City’s ongoing appeal against a Premier League financial ruling casts a shadow over Sunday’s match at Anfield. On the field, five league wins under Enzo Maresca speak in the visitors’ favor, but Liverpool remains undefeated in the league under Andoni Iraola. With only nine points, however, the team still trails the top of the table. Added to this is the most recent competitive matchup: In the FA Cup quarterfinals in April 2026, Liverpool lost 0–4.
- Venue: Anfield, Liverpool
- Date and Time: Oct. 11, 2026, 5:30 p.m.
- Competition: Premier League (Matchday 6)
After Man City’s 5–3 win over Sunderland, “Both Teams to Score: No” is also a risky bet.
Liverpool Form & Record Check
Liverpool’s 1-0 win at AFC Bournemouth showed that the team can win even close league matches. However, goal-scorer Alexander Isak is now out. The 0-0 draw against Fulham in the league makes another game without scoring a goal a real possibility, despite the 3-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur in the League Cup. Iraola has announced an attacking approach against Man City. Without Cody Gakpo and Hugo Ekitiké, however, it’s likely to be difficult to turn that into goals.
Man City Form & Record Check
Man City’s 5-3 league win over Sunderland showcased their attacking versatility: Antoine Semenyo scored twice, and Erling Haaland once. However, the three goals conceded marred their defensive performance. Previously, the 1-0 win at Manchester United in the league and the 2-0 victory at FC Porto in the Champions League group stage had shown that Man City can also be solid at the back.
