Liverpool take on the visitors Manchester City in the round 13 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, November 1st at Anfield (Liverpool).
Liverpool finished last season strongly, securing third place in the Premier League and adding the League Cup to their trophy cabinet. However, it was widely known that this would be Jürgen Klopp's farewell campaign. After careful planning and preparation, Liverpool appointed Arne Slot as his successor, and the results have been outstanding. Slot has maintained Liverpool's attacking identity while solidifying their defense. The team’s only blemishes this season are a shock home loss to Nottingham Forest and a hard-fought draw away to Arsenal. Since the international break, Liverpool has continued their strong form, narrowly defeating Southampton in the league and convincingly overcoming Real Madrid 2-0 in the Champions League earlier this week. The squad appears cohesive, with key players performing at a high level and no major injury concerns.

Manchester City are facing unprecedented challenges. The "Citizens" entered the season under a cloud of uncertainty. Pep Guardiola's contract situation, peculiar transfer decisions, and ongoing Financial Fair Play investigations disrupted their rhythm. While they started the season well, winning the Super Cup and leading the league early on, cracks have emerged. Recent weeks have been particularly troubling for City. A shock exit from the League Cup at the hands of Tottenham, league defeats to Bournemouth and Brighton, and a heavy 4-1 loss to Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League have highlighted their struggles. Even Pep’s contract extension until 2027 has not alleviated the pressure, with the team enduring a 0-4 drubbing by Spurs in Manchester. This midweek’s Champions League draw against Feyenoord, despite leading 3-0, underscores their current defensive frailties and lack of focus.
In their last four meetings, Manchester City initially claimed two wins, but the most recent encounters ended in draws, reflecting Liverpool’s ability to compete closely with the reigning champions. Given City’s recent form and Liverpool’s strong performances under Slot, the "Reds" appear to have the edge, particularly at Anfield. The combination of City’s defensive vulnerabilities and Liverpool’s attacking potency could prove decisive. Liverpool is well-positioned to capitalize on City’s vulnerabilities. A 2-1 or 3-1 victory for the "Reds" seems likely, making a bet on Liverpool’s win a strong choice for this fixture.
Prediction for the match: Liverpool to win.
