Manchester City v Liverpool Betting Tips [23 February 2025]

Defending champions Manchester City will welcome title-chasing Liverpool in their next Premier League match. In any other situation, this would be a title decider, but Liverpool arrive here 17 points better than fourth placed City. Read on for our prediction.

Manchester City finishing in Champions League positions has been a given in the last decade or so. This season things are different, and especially as they’ve just been eliminated from the competition.

They are coming from a 3-1 loss at Real Madrid, completing a 6-3 aggregate defeat in the knockout play-offs. They’ve, however, won five of their last seven league matches.

Liverpool will hope to pounce here, reaping on Manchester City’s struggles. The Reds beat City 2-0 at Anfield in the reverse fixture and will hope to replicate the same here.

That win took their tally of unbeaten matches against City to three. There’s a small problem for Liverpool to deal with though. In their recent away matches, they haven't really done well and by the time they play, Arsenal might have slashed their lead to five points.

Arne Slot’s side is coming from a 2-2 draw at Aston Villa and has failed to win three straight games on the road. Also, in the last three visits to Manchester City, Liverpool are winless.

Manchester City are a pale shadow on the side that powered to four straight league titles. They have just been dumped out of the Champions League and are battling for scraps as far as defending their title is concerned. As they are fighting for a top four place, we expect them to turn up here.

While Liverpool are struggling away from home, City have recently recorded impressive results in the league and will not go down without a fight. In our prediction for Manchester City v Liverpool we will go for a draw.
