Liverpool vs. Manchester City: Prediction, date, venue, and how to watch Premier League match

The Premier League saved the best of Matchweek 25 for last as Liverpool are set to host Manchester City in the final match of the weekend.

Liverpool head into the weekend in sixth place after they thrashed Newcastle United 4-1 last week. The Reds were surely relieved to get back to winning ways in the league after a winless run that had stretched to four games, and to do so in such emphatic fashion bodes well for the psyche as they prepare for another big test on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Man City are second in the league despite a stark lack of form. The Sky Blues have also won just once in their past five Premier League matches, and their most recent outing in the league was a disappointing 2-2 draw at Tottenham in which City built up a two-goal lead only to allow struggling Spurs to end things on level terms.

One thing going for City is their advancement to next month's Carabao Cup final after defeating Newcastle 5-1 on aggregate. Given that the second leg of that semi-final — a 3-1 victory — was the most recent match for the Sky Blues, they could also head into this match in a good state of mind despite their overall struggles.

Liverpool vs. Manchester City: What the managers are saying

Arne Slot, Liverpool

"Well, I mean [what] you remember is that a game we played over there in the first half we were completely outplayed for large parts, not for a complete 45 minutes, but for large parts. It's another moment for us to see where we are in the development of this team. That, of course, being said, we also know the importance of a result on Sunday but that goes for all the 20 teams that are playing this weekend in the Premier League.

"It's the end phase of the season so results matter more and more. [They are] a very good team that were even able to win yesterday against the team [Newcastle United] that we beat during the weekend not even with their starters. That tells you combined with the game we played against them what a force City still is and always will be."

Pep Guardiola, Manchester CIty

“I have an idea on the line-up and try to see how they played lately, what we have to do, adjust some things, but it’s not just Anfield, all big stages and big games always need big personalities.

“I’ve said many times it’s not about the skills of the players in the first division and Premier League and the big leagues.

“In the top clubs, the skills are there. Not one player is not good enough to play in the big clubs, it’s how you behave, not play good or bad, how you are as a player.

“Do it in big stadiums at home and in the latter stages of the competitions in European competition that define the good players, that much you have, which define the good teams.”

Liverpool vs. Manchester City prediction

While neither side are lighting the world on fire, they both have enough talent and pedigree to cause major damage.

But given their so-so form in recent weeks, is this match destined to be a draw? It just might be.

Prediction: Liverpool 1-1 Manchester City
