In my opinion Liverpool have really good chances to avoid loss in today's match up.

Liverpool coming for this game without any fear as they have really solid record against Citizens - they went unbeaten in 27 of last 35 matches against them (last 5 in a row). Liverpool didn't lost at this stadium since July 2020.

For both teams is first competitive game after long World Cup break. I believe for Liverpool will be easier to bounce back on good track faster.

6 days ago Liverpool played friendly game against Milan, they recorded huge 4:1 win. For sure morale in team is great and their line up not looked far away from best possible - we saw on the pitch Thiago, Salah, Gomez, Milner, Robertson, Nunez or Firmino. Everyone clicking together and today we can expect even better performance.

On the other hand Citizens squad is far away from the best, manager Guardiola complained about that, he said: "At the moment, we have four or five players, and we will have to wait and see how the others come back, but we just don’t have players because the big brains of football decided this schedule and we are going to play this game against Liverpool." On those circumstances is hard to expect high quality performance from hosts and probably we will see on the pitch many second-choice players.

I see strong value on away side here.

在我看来，利物浦有很大的机会在今天的比赛中避免输球。

利物浦在这场比赛中没有任何恐惧，因为他们对阵曼城队的战绩非常稳定——他们在过去35场比赛中有27场保持不败(最近5场)。自2020年7月以来，利物浦在这座球场没有输过球。

对于两支球队来说，这是世界杯长假后的第一场正式比赛。我相信利物浦会更容易更快地回到正轨。

利物浦和米兰进行了一场友谊赛，他们取得了4:1的大胜。当然，球队的士气很好，他们的阵容看起来离最佳阵容不远了——我们在球场上看到了蒂亚戈、萨拉赫、戈麦斯、米尔纳、罗伯逊、努涅斯和菲尔米诺。每个人都齐心协力，今天我们可以期待更好的表现。

另一方面，曼城队的阵容远不是最好的，主教练瓜迪奥拉对此表示不满，他说:“目前，我们有4到5名球员，我们将不得不等待，看看其他球员是如何复出的，但我们就是没有球员，因为足球史上最聪明的人决定了这个赛程，我们将对阵利物浦。”在这种情况下，东道主很难有高质量的表现，我们可能会在球场上看到很多第二选择的球员。

我在客场看到了强劲的价值。
