In gameweek 11 of the 2025/26 Premier League season, it's a tasty fixture between Man City and Liverpool that will steal all the headlines this week. A rivalry that has dominated English football for the last 6 years takes place this Sunday as Manchester City host Liverpool at the Etihad.

Last time out for Guardiola's Manchester City team, they defeated high-flying Bournemouth 3-1 at home thanks to 2 goals from Haaland and another from young full-back, O'Reilly who has been impressing for City and England this season. Despite City's fine form, they have been unable to win this fixture in the last four meetings, losing the last two games and drawing the previous two before that.

Life as Premier League champions for Liverpool has been turbulent to say the least. The Reds were cruising at the start of the season but come the end of September, the fragilities started to show. Since September 27th, Liverpool have lost 6 out of their 9 games and have slipped from first in the Premier League to third, one point below their opponent this weekend.

Despite their poor form of late, Arne Slot seems to have regalvanised his team in the last week, beating Aston Villa 2-0 in the Premier League before defeating European giants, Real Madrid 1-0 midweek in the UCL thanks to a strike from Alexis Mac Allister.

Both teams will be looking to grab a statement win to prove that they are the team to challenge the Gunners for the Premier League title this season. Both teams have reigned supreme in the Premier League in recent years and albeit the game might not hold as much magnitude as it has in recent years, it's always fireworks when these two clash.
