Manchester City to Win
Despite recent struggles, backing Manchester City for victory offers a valuable opportunity. Their midweek collapse against Feyenoord highlighted defensive lapses, but prior to those late errors, City had dominated proceedings. Guardiola’s triple substitution disrupted their momentum, but lessons will undoubtedly have been learned. Erling Haaland rediscovered his finishing prowess with a brace, and City restricted their opponents to minimal chances, conceding just 0.21 expected goals before their defensive unraveling.
This match marks Guardiola and Slot’s first managerial clash, and Guardiola’s tactical nous often shines brightest under pressure. While City are outsiders for the first time in years, their underdog status could serve as motivation. The champions rarely string together poor performances, and their quality across the pitch suggests they are more than capable of bouncing back.

Reasoning This Bet Builder combines Manchester City’s potential resurgence, Erling Haaland’s scoring form, Liverpool’s consistent attack, Robertson’s defensive struggles, and both teams’ vulnerabilities, ensuring strong value for a high-scoring, competitive encounter. | |
Andy Robertson to Be Carded
Liverpool’s left-back, Andy Robertson, has been uncharacteristically error-prone of late, struggling to regain sharpness after a disrupted pre-season. He has already conceded penalties in two consecutive matches, against Southampton and Real Madrid, while younger and less experienced opponents have consistently troubled him. Tyler Dibling’s impressive display against Robertson last weekend, combined with Lucas Vázquez drawing a critical foul midweek, highlights the Scotland international’s vulnerability.
Manchester City are likely to exploit this weakness, targeting Robertson’s side with quick, incisive attacks. If Erling Haaland or Phil Foden can isolate Robertson, his defensive positioning may leave him exposed, increasing the likelihood of a booking. Considering his current form, a yellow card for Robertson seems a plausible outcome.
Erling Haaland to Score Anytime
After enduring a short spell of goal-scoring inconsistency, Erling Haaland appears to have rediscovered his lethal touch. The Norwegian forward netted twice midweek and now boasts seven goals in his last five outings across all competitions. Despite City’s defensive frailties, Haaland’s ability to find the net remains a constant.
Anfield presents a stern challenge, but Haaland thrives on big occasions and has the physicality and movement to trouble Liverpool’s backline. With City’s creative players likely to supply him with opportunities, Haaland has a strong chance of adding to his tally. Betting on him to score, even in a difficult away fixture, represents excellent value given his recent form.
Both Teams to Score
A high-scoring encounter is expected, with both teams boasting prolific attacks and vulnerable defences. Manchester City have conceded at least twice in their last six matches, with individual mistakes compounding their issues. Liverpool, on the other hand, are in exceptional scoring form at home, netting two or more goals in nine of their ten matches at Anfield this season.
City’s defensive woes suggest Liverpool will create chances, while Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne’s creativity mean City are more than capable of finding the net themselves. With the attacking quality on both sides, it’s hard to see this match ending without goals for both teams. A wager on both sides scoring feels highly reliable.
