Manchester City’s first outing since being found guilty of more than 100 breaches of Premier League Financial Fair Play rules is one of the toughest away assignments in the division.

They have a mixed record at Anfield, but with so much quality in their side, my Liverpool vs Man City prediction is that they can swat the bad headlines to one side and get a positive result on Merseyside.

Liverpool vs Man City Odds

Despite the headlines, 10Bet has City as slight favourites heading into this one:

1X2: Liverpool 37/20, Draw 7/2, Man City 5/4
Both Teams to Score: Yes 12/25, No 31/20
Over/Under 2.5 Goals: Overs 4/7, Unders 11/8

City have certainly had the better start, but off-the-pitch news means they come into this under huge pressure.

Home advantage gives Liverpool something of an edge, but an indifferent opening few weeks of the new campaign makes it difficult to back them here.

James’ Liverpool vs Man City Predictions have been selected with 10Bet and odds are correct as of 8am on Sunday 11th October.

Liverpool Betting Trends

Andoni Iraola’s side head into the weekend sixth in the table, but three draws from five matches means they’re already six points off the Premier League pace.

After back-to-back draws to start the campaign, Liverpool have won four of the following five.
They have lost only twice at home in the Premier League this calendar year, although one of those defeats came against City.
The Reds faced City three times in league and cup last season, losing all three matches with an aggregate score of 9-1.

Man City Betting Trends

They’ve started the season in ominous form, but with sanctions looming, how much of an effect could that have on the City steam train?

City have a 100% record from seven matches in all competitions.
They have scored 20 goals in that run, including ten in their last two games.
Their only Premier League away defeat in 2026 came at Old Trafford back in January.

Liverpool vs Man City Prediction - Man City to Win (Draw No Bet) @ 4/6

There may well be uncertainty off the pitch, but Enzo Maresca’s side look to be developing a siege mentality on it.

Huge points deductions have been rumoured, but with those unlikely to come into play until at least next season, City know that this could be their last opportunity to pick up significant silverware for a while.

Their recent record against this weekend’s opponents is very good, while their domestic formbook is unblemished.

Liverpool, meanwhile, are yet to find their fluid best under Iraola, and the Spaniard lost five of seven matches against City while in charge of Bournemouth.

I perhaps would have liked a bit more value in the City win outright, so I’m going for some extra security via the Draw No Bet market, which refunds our wager if the contest ends all square.

More Liverpool vs Man City Picks and Best Bets

Man City or Draw Double Chance @ 2/5 - The odds are skinny, but if you want some returns should the match end in a draw, this is the alternative to my top pick.

Under 9.5 Corners @ 21/20 - This has been a winner in four of Liverpool’s five games this season and in a potentially close game, corners could be at a premium.
Erling Haaland to Score Anytime @ 21/20 - He’s touch-and-go to make this one after suffering an injury on international duty, but the Norwegian scored in all three matches against Liverpool last season.
