Liverpool haven’t kept a clean sheet in any of their last 10 away league games against Man City, conceding 26 goals in total in that run (W1 D2 L7).
Manchester City have won nine of their last 10 Premier League games against reigning champions, with the only exception in that run being a 2-4 loss at Leicester in December 2016. However, they’ve won none of their last 11 when facing Liverpool as the previous season’s title winner (D2 L9) since a 3-1 win in October 1977.
Manchester City are looking to win consecutive league games for the first time this season. The Citizens have scored exactly once in each of their last four matches – they last went five consecutive Premier League matches without netting more than once back in March 2009.
Liverpool have conceded 15 goals in their seven Premier League games this season, as many as they shipped in their first 26 league games last term. Indeed, it’s the most the Reds have conceded seven games into a league campaign since 1964-65 (also 15).
Since the start of last season, Liverpool have won a league-high 28 points from losing positions in the Premier League, coming from behind to win each of their last two games.

In their six Premier League games this season, Man City have scored just nine goals (1.5 per game) and have an expected goals (xG) figure of 7.9 (1.3 per game). It’s their lowest xG per game rate in the competition since we have this data available (2013-14), while it’s their lowest goals-per-game rate in the league since 2007-08 (1.2).
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has lost more games against Liverpool’s Jürgen Klopp than he has any other manager in his career (8).

Two of Diogo Jota’s three goals for Liverpool in the Premier League this season have been as a substitute – no other player has scored more than once from the bench in the competition so far this term.
