Manchester City take on the visitors Liverpool in the round 11 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, November 9th at Etihad Stadium (Manchester).
Manchester City, under Guardiola, seemed to have achieved complete dominance in English football, even finally lifting the Champions League trophy. However, last season quickly turned sour. Despite several high-profile signings helping to steady the ship, they only managed a top-three Premier League finish. Before that came an early Champions League exit, followed by defeats in both the FA Cup final against Crystal Palace and the Club World Cup clash with Al Hilal. The new campaign also began shakily, with several unexpected stumbles in August. Since then, results have improved, with frequent wins and only the occasional draw interrupting their rhythm. Still, the recent 0-1 defeat to Aston Villa reminded everyone that this team remains vulnerable. On the other hand, they showed strength again by beating a high-flying Bournemouth 3-1 and comfortably overcoming Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League this week. City continue to display attacking flair and control in most matches, but their defensive instability sometimes costs them points. Consistency remains their biggest challenge if they want to return to their previous invincible form.

Liverpool are now enduring the nightmare many expected last season. The “Merseysiders” learned in early 2024 that Klopp would be leaving, and the end of such a long era often hits clubs hard. Surprisingly, under Slot, they captured the Premier League title right away. The summer brought further optimism with several expensive and high-quality signings. Although the team began with a defeat in the Super Cup — a competition most top clubs treat lightly — they then produced a string of late, hard-fought victories. But the momentum collapsed in autumn, as the favorites suddenly began losing to almost everyone. The humiliating 0-3 defeat to Crystal Palace, which marked their third loss to the same opponent in a short span, summed up their crisis. Still, they managed to rebound last weekend by beating Aston Villa, and in midweek they claimed an impressive win over Real Madrid, even with Courtois producing several outstanding saves. Liverpool are gradually regaining confidence, but their form remains unpredictable. Their defensive lapses and inconsistency in away matches continue to be serious concerns.
Last season, on their way to silverware, the “Reds” beat City twice in a row and are unbeaten in their last four meetings. The “Citizens” are expected to win, and many anticipate a high-scoring match. However, given both teams’ current inconsistency, the safer bet is “total under 3.5 goals.”
Prediction for the match: Under 3.5 scored goals.
