Liverpool Predicted Lineup vs. Manchester City: Premier League | OneFootball

Liverpool take on Manchester City in the highlight fixture of the weekend in English soccer, looking to increase their advantage atop the Premier League.

It's been a bit of a bumpy road for Liverpool in the Premier League lately, dropping points in their last two games away from Anfield vs. Everton and Aston Villa. The Reds must return to winning ways if they want to keep a fast approaching Arsenal side at bay in the title race.

Despite Manchester City not being the all-conquering side Liverpool have gotten used to facing in recent years, winning at the Etihad remains a difficult task. City have won all their home Premier League games since the start of 2025, and Liverpool haven't won at the Etihad since Jürgen Klopp's first season with the Reds almost 10 years ago.

Arne Slot will be without Cody Gakpo and Joe Gomez in his first trip away at Manchester City. The Dutch manager has done a brilliant job so far in his debut season, and beating City at their home ground would go a long way in his side's Premier League title hopes.

Here's how Liverpool could lineup vs. Manchester City in the Premier League.
