Match Preview

Liverpool will face Manchester City in a Premier League clash at Anfield on February 8, 2026.

The teams are placed differently in the standings, with Liverpool in 6th position with 39 points, and Manchester City standing 2nd with 47 points, making this match crucial for their respective positions.

Liverpool has secured victories in 54 percent of their matches this season, while Manchester City has shown strength on the road, winning 50 percent of their last 6 away matches in the Premier League.

In terms of goalscoring, both teams have been involved in high-scoring matches recently, with over 2.5 goals scored in the majority of their home and away games.

With Liverpool hosting Manchester City at Anfield, where goals are expected, a competitive and evenly-matched encounter is on the cards.

The algorithm predicts a draw between Liverpool and Manchester City with a probability of 43%.

It's been a strange season for Liverpool, but they're still in the FA Cup, Champions League and fighting for a top-four spot in the Premier League despite their troubles.

The Reds have an incredible Anfield record against Manchester City and are unbeaten in this fixture with fans since a 2-1 defeat in May 2003. They were beaten 4-1 in February 2021 but that was played in front of an empty stadium due to COVID-19.

Manchester City's title hopes have been stumbling in recent weeks with one league win from the last six leaving them six points behind leaders Arsenal.

City have particularly struggled on the road all season, collecting 11 points from their last eight away games, including defeats at Aston Villa, Newcastle, Manchester United and that disastrous draw at Tottenham last Sunday.
