Manchester City vs Liverpool time, TV channel, stream, betting odds for Premier League match

Manchester City welcome Liverpool to the Etihad for what is simply one of the biggest games of the 2021-22 Premier League season. 

With only a point separating these two rivals at the top of the table, the game at the Etihad is a vital moment for both sides as they jockey for position. There will be just seven matches remaining in the season after Sunday.

The previous game between the heavyweights was one of the classic games of the season, ending 2-2 at Anfield. The match saw Premier League leading scorer Mohamed Salah score one of the goals of the season.

Even if Liverpool win and complete the comeback to take over first place from the reigning champions, the Reds have a difficult run of matches to close out the season. Jurgen Klopp’s side has won 10 straight league matches and is the hotter of the two teams, but Man City look to be rounding back into form for the stretch run with three wins from their last four in the league.

Manchester City vs Liverpool predicted lineups

Manchester City have almost a full squad to choose from; the key absence will be center back Ruben Dias, who has been one of their most important players in the last year. Kyle Walker, who was out suspended from Champions League play, should help pick up the slack.

Pep Guardiola’s choices, as usual, will have fans talking. Does Riyad Mahrez start or do they save him for the Champions League? Were Phil Foden and Jack Grealish preserved in midweek for the clash against Liverpool? 

Manchester City predicted lineup (4-3-3): Ederson (GK) — Walker, Stones, Laporte, Cancelo — Gundogan, Rodri, De Bruyne — Foden, Silva, Sterling

Liverpool come into the game with no real injury concerns and with a stronger squad compared to their last meeting after the January acquisition of Luis Diaz.

The only question would be what the preferred front three will be; typically, Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah have always performed well against City, but the form of Diaz and Diogo Jota could give Jurgen Klopp a selection headache. 

Liverpool predicted lineup (4-3-3): Alisson (GK) — Alexander-Arnold, van Dijk, Matip, Robertson — Fabinho, Thiago, Keita — Salah, Firmino, Mane

Manchester City vs Liverpool betting odds

Both sides are in imperious form, as Liverpool have won 16 of 17 games in all competitions and City have won six out of their last nine games, only losing once in that stretch.

Of their 13 encounters in all competitions, 10 have gone over 2.5 goals, with nine of them seeing both teams scoring.

With the quality on the pitch, the game could easily be another goal-fest, although with both sides aiming to avoid a loss at all costs, they could potentially settle for a draw depending on how the match plays out.

The pitch will be flooded with players who can decide the match at any point, and it’s highly likely we will get goals once again in this star-studded matchup.
