Liverpool v Man City predictions

Relentless Manchester City have won 16 of their 17 matches since jetting out to the Club World Cup in December and they can reach the Premier League summit by defeating Liverpool at Anfield.

Given their almost faultless start to 2024, City might be a little frustrated to still be in chasing mode.

However, they have been up against a pair of worthy adversaries as Arsenal have recovered strongly from their December wobble and Liverpool are excelling on multiple fronts.

The Reds put the first trophy in the cabinet with a gutsy 1-0 extra-time success over Chelsea in last month's EFL Cup final and they continue to make progress in the FA Cup and the Europa League.

Jurgen Klopp was half-expected to give some of his key players a breather for Thursday's Europa League last-16 first leg at Sparta Prague but he opted for a strong starting line-up and was rewarded with a superb 5-1 victory.

The Reds' progress from the Sparta tie looks guaranteed but there was a downside to their midweek triumph as centre-back Ibrahima Konate had to be substituted due to an apparent muscle strain.

Konate will be given every chance to feature against City but doubts over his fitness present another selection concern for Klopp, who has key decisions to make over Mohamed Salah and Dominik Szoboszlai.

Salah has scored in each of Liverpool's last four Premier League home games against City, including the winner in last season's 1-0 victory, but he has made just two substitute appearances since returning injured from the Africa Cup of Nations and is unlikely to be anywhere near peak fitness.

The same could be said of Szoboszlai, who has not started a Premier League game since scoring in the 4-1 home victory over Chelsea at the end of January.

Klopp must decide how much he can hope to get out of that duo and he will also have faith in understudies Harvey Elliott and Bobby Clark, who have contributed greatly to the Reds' recent seven-game winning streak.

Liverpool's injury crisis has allowed their younger players to show their worth but there have been understandable variations in performance which, to this point, have not been punished.

Chelsea should have put Liverpool away in the final 20 minutes of normal time in the EFL Cup final and Nottingham Forest were heading for a well-deserved Premier League draw last weekend until Darwin Nunez stepped up with his controversial injury-time winner.

Nunez is probably playing the best football of his career and will be the main threat to a City side who are far from watertight in defence.

But the champions have greater depth of resources than Liverpool in all areas of the pitch and they have had plenty of preparation time since Wednesday's 3-1 Champions League success at home to Copenhagen, which sealed a comfortable 6-2 aggregate success.

Pep Guardiola will be hugely wary and respectful of Liverpool, who have beaten his team on four of their seven league visits to Anfield.

However, City should arrive at the weekend in better shape than their hosts and they look decent value to take the spoils.

Liverpool v Man City bet builder predictions

Manchester City to win
The Citizens have dropped only two points this year and should come up with a winning formula against their injury-hit hosts

Phil Foden to score or assist
City star Phil Foden is playing as well as anyone in the Premier League and could make his mark on another heavyweight contest

Rodri to be shown a card
Rodri has a key role to play in breaking up Liverpool's counter-attacks and he may well overstep the mark with some of his tactical fouling
