As Liverpool prepare to take on Manchester City in the Premier League at Anfield, we take a close look at the head-to-head stats between the two clubs and crunch the numbers ahead of Sunday evening’s big game…
Liverpool have lost just one of their last 22 Premier League home games against Manchester City (W14 D7), with that defeat coming the only time they hosted them as reigning champions (1-4 in February 2021).
Liverpool lost 3-0 in the reverse fixture against Manchester City – the last team to beat them twice to nil in the same Premier League campaign was West Ham United in 2015-16.
Manchester City are looking to complete their first league double over Liverpool since 1936-37, which was also the last time they won consecutive league games against them.
From MD6 to MD12 this season, Liverpool lost more Premier League games than any other club (P7 W1 L6); since MD13, no side has lost fewer games than the Reds (P12 W5 D6 L1).
Since the start of last season, only three teams have picked up more points from losing positions in the Premier League than Liverpool (28).
Man City’s Erling Haaland has failed to score in all three of his Premier League away games against Liverpool. Anfield is one of just two grounds he’s played at but not scored in the competition, along with Sunderland’s Stadium of Light (1 app).
Hugo Ekitike has scored or assisted every 112 minutes in the Premier League this season (10 goals, 2 assists in 1,342 minutes), the best ratio by a Liverpool player in their first season at the club since Mohamed Salah in 2017-18 (32 goals, 10 assists – one every 70 minutes).
