Manchester City to win

City have shortened from 2.60 to 2.25, backing their five-win start, although Liverpool's unbeaten record keeps the away win far from straightforward.
Manchester City remain my pick to win at Anfield, and the market has moved their way from 2.60 to 2.25. Confirmed starters include Erling Haaland for City, while Liverpool have Alisson, Virgil van Dijk, Florian Wirtz and Bradley Barcola in the supplied XI. Liverpool are still unbeaten, though, so this looks competitive rather than comfortable. Here's where the late information matters.
I'm sticking with the previous City lean. The case remains the stronger early league return: City are first with 15 points from five wins, scoring 13 goals, while Liverpool are unbeaten but have drawn three of their five matches. Liverpool's recent results include 0-0 against Fulham and 2-2 draws with Nottingham Forest and Newcastle, whereas City's listed run is five consecutive wins. That still points me towards the 1-2 score lean rather than a home result.
The supplied confirmed lineups do not give either side an obvious reason to overturn that call. Haaland starts for City alongside Rayan Cherki, Antoine Semenyo and Iliman Ndiaye, while Liverpool's starters include Wirtz, Barcola and Lewis Koumas, with Van Dijk and Alisson also named. Those selections keep the original both-teams-to-score and over 2.5 goals angles in play. Liverpool's unbeaten record and four goals conceded across five league games remain the main reasons not to overstate City's advantage.
There has been meaningful support for City, with the away price shortening from 2.60 to 2.25. Liverpool have moved from 3.10 to 3.34, while the draw has barely shifted from 3.72 to 3.66. That strengthens the existing City view, but it is not a total market rejection of Liverpool. Both teams to score is broadly stable at 1.53 versus 1.50, while over 2.5 has eased from 1.55 to 1.64. For me, City remain the result pick, with goals the cleaner supporting angle.
