Liverpool has been the best away team in the league for a reason, remaining unbeaten on the road and collecting 32 points from 14 matches.

Today, they face a Manchester City side that has struggled for consistency throughout the campaign. City looked lost in attack and vulnerable in defense against Real Madrid, with their high defensive line proving costly. It left too much space for Mbappé to exploit, exposing Guardiola’s tactical approach.

If City repeat the same mistakes against Liverpool, they could be punished even more severely than the three goals they conceded in Madrid. Their defensive concerns are further compounded by the absence of key center-backs John Stones and Manuel Akanji due to injury, while Erling Haaland remains doubtful with a knee issue.

The last encounter at Anfield saw Liverpool dominate, winning 2-0. They created the majority of chances, recording an xG of 3.57, with seven shots on target, while limiting City to just two shots on target and keeping a clean sheet.
