Liverpool will be looking to make it three wins in a row in all competitions when they face Manchester City on Sunday.

Alan Shearer has made a strange claim about Man City ahead of the fixture, which should bode well for the Reds.

Arne Slot has been under pressure this season, but six points and 10 goals scored in the last two matches is hopefully a sign things are turning around.

However, February 8th’s meeting at Anfield is expected to prove a tough test for the current Premier League holders.

It is a must-win fixture for Liverpool, who are outside of the Champions League places right now, and if that persists for the remainder of 2025/26, it could lead to Slot’s sacking.

But despite a difficult season overall, fans are very confident about the outcome of this weekend’s tie.

Using Rousing The Kop’s TalkingPoints platform, supporters voted on whether Liverpool will beat Man City.

At present, over 68% are backing the Merseyside outfit to come away with all three points.

Not only that, but a number of supporters have predicted plenty of goals for the home team.

What has Pep Guardiola said about Liverpool

Barring the 3-0 defeat at the Etihad Stadium earlier this season, Liverpool and Slot’s recent record against the Manchester outfit is positive.

They won both meetings last term, and the points were shared in the two fixtures played out in 2023/24.

Now, Pep Guardiola has given his verdict on Liverpool after their issues in the current campaign.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference, the Spaniard said: “They remain an exceptional team. Top-class manager and an exceptional team, no doubt.

“The moments are the moments, the seasons are the seasons so always remains a good team. Always a tough opponent and a difficult place and stadium, especially with the quality of the players and the managers.”
