Manchester City vs Liverpool prediction: How will Premier League fixture play out today?

Manchester City welcome rivals Liverpool to the Etihad Stadium today in what could be a Premier League title decider.

Pep Guardiola has called Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool his “biggest rival” and hardest opponent in management and the Reds have won 10 games in a row to close the gap to the leaders to just one point.

Defending champions City were 14 points clear at one stage in January but have home advantage. The last time they hosted Liverpool in front of fans was in the 2018-19 season, when a 2-1 win in January proved pivital in a title race that was decided by one point.

The standard both teams have set ensures the stakes are even higher this time around with the meeting coming in the title run-in, and with both teams fighting on multiple fronts this season as Liverpool chase the quadruple and City aim to win the treble.

Here’s everything you need to know before the match today.

When is Manchester City vs Liverpool?

The match will kick off at 4:30pm BST on Sunday 10 April.

Odds

Draw: 11/4

Liverpool: 5/2

Prediction

Manchester City have such a good record when scoring first and it feels like an opening goal for the hosts could be decisive, unlike when Liverpool took the lead twice at Anfield earlier this season. Kevin De Bruyne is the in-form City player but for Liverpool the return of Trent Alexander-Arnold, who missed the reverse fixture, could be key. We could be set for a thriller decided by attacking brilliance. Manchester City 2-2 Liverpool
