FootyMAD's Manchester City match preview

History of the Liverpool v Manchester City fixture

Liverpool prepare to entertain Manchester City at Anfield on Wednesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Reds are clearly on top, having won 42 and lost only 14 of the 71 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Anfield was less than a year ago, in May 2003, with Man City inflicting a narrow 1-2 defeat upon the Reds in a Premiership match.

Recent respective form guides

Liverpool have only performed averagely at home, winning 3 and losing 2 of their last six. The goals for column just outweighs the goals against over this period, 9 to 7.

Man City have an average recent record on the road, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the Sky Blues have hit 12 goals, 15 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Liverpool find themselves in a respectable 6th position, courtesy of the 35 points they have accumulated from 24 games. Man City are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 24 points from 24 matches.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Its a close one to call, but I think that Reds's reasonable showing at home is going to see them scrape past Man City. Home Win

Sequence statistics:
Liverpool	Unbeaten in the last 4 home games. Drawn each of their last 2 games. Not won in the 2 most recent games.
Man City	7 games since last away draw.
