Written by Chase B. Goody - Chase B. Goody looks like trouble - pink blazer, shades at night - but he’s the sharpest mind in the game. A born athlete who dodged the grind to chase bigger paydays as a tipster, Chase runs lean: no fluff, no filters, just cold reads and hot streaks. He moves in circles with agents, journos, and a certain pro athlete he won’t name. His blog hits hard, his picks land often (58%, if you're counting), and he always bets ahead.
The Premier League’s two heavyweights meet at the Etihad on Sunday afternoon in a match that could shape the title race before winter. Manchester City are back in dominant home form, while Liverpool are fighting to rediscover their away confidence after ending a recent slump. The Reds did the double over Pep Guardiola’s side last season, but City’s home numbers are extraordinary.
Liverpool’s 2–0 win in this fixture last season completed a league double over Manchester City, something they had not achieved since 2016. City rarely lose to the same opponent three times in a row, and Guardiola’s side have won nine of their last ten Premier League home matches.
Since April, City have earned more points than any other side in the league, winning 13 of 19 matches and scoring 20 goals from open play this season. They are the only team yet to score via a set piece. Erling Haaland could make history with a brace, which would make him the fastest player to reach 100 Premier League goals.
Liverpool ended their four-game losing run with a 2–0 win over Aston Villa but have now lost three straight away games. They have not lost four in a row on their travels since 2012. Mohamed Salah has been directly involved in 15 goals against Manchester City in the Premier League, the most of any player.
This meeting brings together City’s control and home dominance against Liverpool’s counter-punching threat. Both sides create heavily through Foden and Doku, while Salah and Díaz will look to exploit the spaces left by City’s attacking full-backs. Expect a technical and fast-paced game decided by small margins.
Scoreline: Manchester City 2–1 Liverpool
Confidence: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (High)
Liverpool will create chances, but City’s efficiency at the Etihad and their balance in midfield should see them edge it. Expect Guardiola’s men to respond strongly after last season’s defeats.
