Liverpool has already gotten one over the citizens earlier this season in the community shield, a match which ended 3-1 in favor of the reds to clinch their first trophy of this new season. It was a tale between two teams who have arguably been the best two teams in the England top division for five consecutive seasons. Sunday presents another mouth-watering encounter between two top-tier teams, managed by top-tier managers, with excellent outfield players on both sides of the pitch.

Liverpool plays host to Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday in an exciting 90 minutes of football. The reds seem to be getting their Pack back together after seeing off Rangers 7-1 in the champions league last week to make this encounter even more interesting. Although the host has not had the best of the season so far, as they are off the pace already after eight match rounds, 14 points behind league leaders Arsenal, who have played a game more, and this leaves them languishing in the tenth position. If Jurgen Klopp's men hope to get anything out of this match, they need to bring belief and resilience against Pep Guardiola's archangels, whose players have been nothing short of excellent in recent weeks.

Manchester City played out a 0-0 draw heading into this tie in Denmark, a tie which saw them play with ten players for a large part of the game. The draw against Coppehegen secured their place in the round of 16 with a game to spare to broaden their focus on this game. The citizens have found a new lease to life after seeing star signing Erling Haaland plunging on all cylinders in recent weeks, scoring above 20 goals in all competitions this season, and helping his team out of difficult situations as he has done in recent years in Europe.

However trivial this tie looks on paper, most pundits and analysts will easily pick out the visitors to secure a win over out-of-form reds, who sit 11th in the premier league log. However, we believe the Reds' unbeaten run in four consecutive matches against Manchester city will come in handy for the home side. Liverpool has been undefeated against their fiercest rival, Manchester City, in their last four meetings, with the reds coming out on top with the match points on two occasions, with the other two meetings ending in a draw. In light of this, we predict a home win or draw to Liverpool, who have cultivated the habit of making Anfield a fortress, with the visitors not winning in their home ground in three consecutive years.

Liverpool will have Nunez, Salah, and Firmino at their best possible form when they play against the most in-form team in Europe. The Reds rolled back the years when they came from behind to secure a 7-1 victory against Rangers last week in the champions league. Thus, we predict a home win or draw to the home side as they have always made life difficult for the visitors when playing on their home ground in recent years, and they showed last time out a team who has found its mojo, playing with much rhythm and depth to make further a statement heading into this tie.

Manchester City will play offensive when they travel on the road to face the visitors. However, we believe the reds have enough resilience to prevent a defeat and stop the party for Pep Guardiola's men.

本赛季早些时候，利物浦已经在社区盾杯中战胜了曼城，比赛以3-1的比分结束，红军获得了新赛季的第一座奖杯。这是两支球队之间的故事，他们可以说是连续5个赛季英格兰顶级联赛中最好的两支球队。周日是两支顶级球队的又一次令人垂涎三尺的交锋，他们由顶级教练执教，球场两侧都有优秀的外场球员。

利物浦将于周日在安菲尔德主场迎战曼城，比赛将持续90分钟。上周在欧冠7-1击败流浪者后，红魔似乎正在重新集结他们的阵容，这使得这场遭遇更加有趣。虽然目前为止，东道主的表现并不是最好的，因为他们已经在8轮比赛中落后了，落后联赛领头羊阿森纳14分，而阿森纳多踢了一场比赛，这使得他们在第十的位置上苦苦挣扎。如果克洛普的球员们希望在这场比赛中有所收获，他们需要拿出信心和韧性来对抗瓜迪奥拉的天使长们，瓜迪奥拉的球员们在最近几周的表现堪称出色。

曼城在丹麦打了一场0-0的平局，在这场比赛的大部分时间里，他们使用了10名球员。与科佩黑根的平局确保了他们在16强的席位，他们还剩一场比赛，扩大了他们对这场比赛的关注。在看到球星哈兰德最近几周全力投入，在本赛季的各项赛事中打进超过20球，并帮助球队摆脱困境后，市民们找到了新的生机。就像他近年来在欧洲所做的那样。

无论这场比赛在纸面上看起来多么微不足道，大多数权威人士和分析人士都会轻松地选出客队来确保战胜状态不佳的红魔。红魔在英超积分榜上排名第11。然而，我们相信红魔连续4场对阵曼城的不败战绩将在主场的比赛中发挥作用。利物浦在最近4次对阵他们的死敌曼城的比赛中保持不败，其中红魔有2次以赛点领先，另外2次交锋以平局告终。据此，我们预测利物浦会在主场赢球或打平，他们已经养成了把安菲尔德变成堡垒的习惯，客队已经连续三年在主场没有赢球了。

当利物浦对阵欧洲状态最好的球队时，努涅斯、萨拉赫和菲尔米诺将发挥出他们最好的状态。上周在冠军联赛中，红魔以7-1击败流浪者队，逆转了过去的岁月。因此，我们预测主队会在主场取胜或打平，因为他们近年来在主场比赛时总是让客队的日子很艰难，而他们上次展示了一支找到了自己的魔力的球队，踢得有节奏，有深度，在这场比赛中更进一步。

曼城将在客场迎战客队时发挥攻势。然而，我们相信红军有足够的韧性来阻止比赛的失败，并阻止瓜迪奥拉的球员们的狂欢。
