Alisson Becker is sidelined, but Jeremie Frimpong and Federico Chiesa should be fit. Conor Bradley, Wataru Endo and Giovanni Leoni are all long-term absentees.<\/p>\n

Man City vs Liverpool prediction<\/p>\n
Prior to beating Arsenal in the Carabao Cup final, Man City had won just once in five games in all competitions – that being in the last round of the FA Cup – so Guardiola\u2019s side aren\u2019t exactly in flying form.<\/p>\n
That said, Liverpool have equally been a mixed bag aside from the 4-0 win over Galatasaray in the Champions League last-16 second leg and the Wolves cup tie.<\/p>\n
It is a difficult one to call as both teams will be eyeing a trophy. We think home advantage tips things in Man City\u2019s favour, but only just.<\/p>\n
Head to head (h2h) history and results<\/p>\n
The Reds, though, did emerge victorious in the most recent FA Cup clash between the teams back in April 2022.<\/p>\n
Man City vs Liverpool match odds<\/p>\n
