The central match of the 6th round of the English Premier League will be the clash between Liverpool and Manchester City, which will take place at Anfield.
The home team have not lost yet this season, but considering the small number of wins, they were not very high in the league table. However, last week Liverpool managed to get their second victory, beating Bournemouth away from home with a score of 0:1. The three points allowed them to move up to sixth place, which is much more in line with their ambitions.
After Arsenal lost in the 5th round, the Citizens became the sole leaders of the Premier League. City themselves had an impressive match against Sunderland, where the spectators saw 8 goals. In the first half of that game, Manchester City took the lead twice, while Sunderland equalized twice, but near the end of the first half, the visitors took the lead again, with Antoine Semenyo scoring the goal. He continued the goal-scoring show in the second half, while Manchester City’s main striker Erling Haaland scored the final goal of the match – 5:3.

Prediction for the Liverpool vs Manchester City
I believe this game will be one of the highlights not only of the 6th round, but of the entire 2026/2027 Premier League season, as both teams are currently almost at the peak of their form. Of course, Manchester City look more dangerous at the moment, but Liverpool playing at home will not be the underdogs. I believe the match will be played with both teams attacking, with many dangerous chances that will sooner or later turn into goals. My recommendation for the game is to bet on over 2.5 total goals.
