Liverpool appear to have discovered some attacking fluency of late as the Reds now welcome an inconsistent Manchester City side to Anfield on Sunday afternoon.

Liverpool preview: Back to attack

After a 13-match unbeaten run of form across all competitions, Liverpool supporters remained annoyed by the defensive and overly cautious approach of Arne Slot but that run ending may finally have prompted a bit more attacking intent.

Following a 3-2 loss to AFC Bournemouth, Liverpool then managed to demolish Qarabag by six goals to nil in the UEFA Champions League before coming from behind to hammer Newcastle United 4-1 at Anfield.

Man City preview: Into the cup final

It may be the final few months of the Pep Guardiola reign and it may well be diminishing returns at Manchester City but they remain just about in the title race and also moved themselves into yet another cup final in midweek.

Man City hammered Newcastle United by three goals to one at the Etihad Stadium to ensure a 5-1 aggregate victory in the semi-finals of the EFL Cup, courtesy of a brace scored by Omar Marmoush as well as a goal from Tijjani Reijnders.

Liverpool vs Man City prediction

It could well be that a loss has given Liverpool the lease of life that they needed in the final third and they have scored ten goals in two games since that defeat with Florian Wirtz in excellent form at the moment. City cannot be trusted at all at the moment and they are some way off the relentlessness of their past selves. This one has the potential to be quite a fun watch for the neutral.

Liverpool vs Man City tip: Over 2.5 goals
