Liverpool vs Manchester City Prediction: 1/12/2024

Liverpool will be missing several key players for their upcoming match, including goalkeeper Alisson, potential starting striker Diogo Jota, summer signing Chiesa, and midfielder Elliott. Right-back Alexander-Arnold is also sidelined due to injury.

Despite these absences, wingers Salah, with 8 goals and 6 assists, and Luis Diaz, who has 5 goals and 2 assists, have been in superb form this season. Nunez and Gakpo are also competing for starting spots. Liverpool’s defense, which has been the best in the league, will be anchored by central defenders Konaté and van Dijk.

Manchester City will also be missing several important players, including Ballon d’Or winner Rodri, key defender Ruben Dias, midfielder Kovacic, and young talent Bobb. Defenders Aké and Matheus Nunes, along with forwards Foden, Doku, and Grealish, are also doubtful for the match.

Despite these challenges, Haaland continues to impress, leading the Premier League with 12 goals and continuing his strong form for Norway, where he scored 4 goals during the international break. City still boasts the second-best attack in the league.

Prediction

Liverpool’s push for a top-four finish has been bolstered by a strong home record, having won six of their last seven home matches. On the other hand, Manchester City has struggled on the road, with nine losses in their last 12 away games.

Prediction: Liverpool 3-1 Manchester City.
