An expert with a strong track record predicts the Liverpool vs Manchester City match result, with one team facing heartbreak.
"Sutton" confidently predicts Liverpool will lose at home to Manchester City, with Haaland scoring the winning goal.
Ahead of the 2026-27 English Premier League big match, Liverpool will host Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday, 11 Oct, at 22:30.
Recently, Chris Sutton, former Chelsea striker turned prominent football analyst, shared his view that Liverpool will be defeated at home by Manchester City.
Sutton said, "I've heard people say City players might be distracted or unsettled by the club's off-field issues, but I don't see it that way."
"I think both the players and City fans may feel under attack, thinking 'everyone hates us, wants us to lose, and be relegated,' but the reality is different, as many fans remain neutral and reasonable."
"City will likely face an unfriendly reception at Anfield, but I believe they will cope with this situation well."
"Liverpool are still adjusting under manager Andoni Iraola, and their performance this season hasn't impressed or convinced me yet."
"For these reasons, I choose Manchester City for this game. I can clearly picture Erling Haaland scoring the winning goal and celebrating with a big happy smile."
Predicted result: Liverpool 1 - Manchester City 2
