On February 8, 2026 at 19:30, a match of the 25th round of the English Premier League will take place between two legendary teams – “Liverpool” and “Manchester City”.
Teams form
In the recent rounds both teams have dropped a lot of points. There are many injured players in the squads of both teams. This prevents them from showing stable results. Over the last 6 rounds each of the opponents has only one victory.
Liverpool current form
The team started the season brilliantly, but after the fifth round clear problems began. At the moment the team has 39 points after 24 rounds and currently sits in sixth place in the league table. “Liverpool” is still one step away from the European competition zone. The recent big victory over “Newcastle United” at Anfield certainly gives them confidence. The home side conceded in the 36th minute, but then quickly equalized and after that scored three more times. The mood for the game against “City” will be the most fighting one.
Manchester City current form
After another round the gap to “Arsenal” increased to 6 points. Pep Guardiola is experiencing difficulties with the squad, which affects the play. In the last match against “Tottenham” away, the team scored two goals and was confidently leading after the first half, but then something broke down and the home side’s forward Dominic Solanke scored a brace and did not allow “Manchester City” to take three points. Perhaps accumulated fatigue is taking its toll. Guardiola’s men are travelling to Liverpool for a victory. Any other result could put an end to their ambitions to finish first in the English championship.
Expected line-ups
Liverpool’s lineup
4-3-3: Alisson Becker, Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konaté, Andrew Robertson, Rhys Williams, Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Curtis Jones, Ryan Gravenberch, Wataru Endo, Mohamed Salah.
