Matchday 11 of the English Premier League will conclude with one of the most iconic fixtures of recent years: Manchester City hosting Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium.
Manchester City’s strong run of form has lifted the team to second place in the Premier League. Across their last five league matches, City recorded four victories and suffered just one defeat — a narrow 0–1 loss away to Aston Villa. Last week, City confidently defeated Bournemouth 3–1 at home, with Erling Haaland once again playing a decisive role, scoring twice.
Liverpool, after four consecutive defeats, finally managed to bring some relief to their supporters with a 2–0 victory over Aston Villa in the previous round. It would be great to believe this marks the end of their struggling phase — but it’s still too early to make firm conclusions.

Prediction for the Manchester City vs Liverpool
City enter this match as the clear favorites, supported by their home advantage and consistent form in recent weeks. Liverpool’s main hope lies in neutralizing City’s key weapon — Haaland — but the question remains whether they have the resources to do so across the full 90 minutes.
Liverpool are capable of causing problems and making this match competitive, but Manchester City currently look strong and confident. Therefore, my recommendation is to back a home win.
