Liverpool Analysis
The new Liverpool head coach, Andoni Iraola, has started getting his football philosophy across to his players, after an up-and-down start to the season. Now Liverpool are on a seven-game undefeated run to start the season, and last time out they beat AFC Bournemouth away 1-0. The issue for the Reds is that they are lacking goals, and with Man City (who have a stellar defense) coming to town, that could be a problem.
Iraola has brought an energetic approach to the team and they are creating lots of chances. The main goal threats this season have come from the Swedish international Alexander Isak, who has scored four times in five league games. Liverpool will be hoping that the thigh issue that brought him home early from Nations League competition will not be serious enough to keep him out of this game.
Man City Analysis
Man City are sitting at the top of the Premier League with a perfect 15 points from 15. With everything that has gone on off-the-pitch, regarding the guilty verdict on 115 charges of breaching financial rules, the team will need to somehow block out all the additional noise and focus on this important game. City have scored 13 goals so far in the league, and Erling Haaland, as always, is their main threat.
The Norwegian international has already hit the net five times in the league, and seven times in all competitions. Man City have had a good run of results recently, beating Norwich in the Carabao Cup 5-0, and beating Sunderland in the league 5-3 at home. This game looks like there could be goals with the attacking quality in both teams. Man City will be looking for the same result at Anfield as last season, when they beat Liverpool 2-1 in February.
Key Factors
The Liverpool home support certainly makes a big difference in a big fixture like this, as Man City have found out over the years. Liverpool have a strong home record against City, only losing on three occasions over 21 matches at Anfield. We expect goals in this one and both teams to score, but it could go either way.
