Manchester City vs Liverpool: Prediction, Head-to-Head, Odds & Stats (Sun, 09 Nov '25)

As the clocks gear up for Sun, 09 Nov '25, eager football fans' eyeballs will be locked onto the drama that unfolds at the Etihad Stadium Stadium—an epic showdown between Manchester City and Liverpool. Historically dusting off their boots, the Champions with a Liver bird have spread their wings wider across the last three encounters. With two feathers in their cap and a draw, they certainly seem to say, "We're not chicken!"

Rewinding to the last tango on Sun 23 Feb 25, Liverpool waltzed away with a 2-0 victory, leaving Manchester City supporters drying their tears with fish and chips! Undeterred, Manchester City recently trimmed the Swans’ wings too with a decisive 3-1 victory, while Liverpool countered Aston Villa with a neat 2-0 win.

Speaking of domestic bling, Manchester City's sitting at 8th place, perhaps enjoying the scenic view, while Liverpool's racing ahead in 3rd place, seemingly inspired by another boot full of beans. As the dust starts to settle a bit, eye-catchers of the season like Manchester City's Erling Haaland with 11 goals shine in the spotlight, hoping to be the secret spice in the Citizens' attack.

Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo, the crafty devil with 2 assists, will aim to pepper that Reds offense cook-up. But who holds the wand of magic in player stats? Haaland, Trafford, and Doku are donning City’s robes of brilliance with ratings of 7.98, 7.4, and 7.17 respectively, while Gravenberch, Van Dijk, and Szoboszlai are Liverpool’s answer to Hogwarts with ratings of 7.43, 7.3, and 7.28.

In possession of the crown jewel—a.k.a. the ball—Liverpool marginally edges out with a 61.7% control, signaling a potential orchestra 'conductor' role. As for corner stats, Manchester City has a slight edge; 5.11 to Liverpool's 5. Not much to separate them there, eh? Discipline-wise, neither team's seen red, though Liverpool’s got five more yellows than City, clearly being a bit cheekier on the field this season.

Having swirled through these stats, it's all set to be a head-scratcher for the psychic octopus. But tentacles in a twist, I dare say, "Will fortune favor the Reds on this spicy Sunday?" Time will tell, but by the tale told, it may be Liverpool who clinks the victory glass at Etihad Stadium!
