Match preview

Liverpool host Manchester City in the Premier League on 8 February 2026. Liverpool sit 5th on 60 points and Manchester City are 2nd on 78. Liverpool have won 1 of their last 5 (DDDLW), while Manchester City have won 1 of 5 (DDLWD). In their last 2 meetings, Liverpool won 0, Manchester City won 2 and 0 ended level. These are probabilities from past results, not guarantees: football upsets happen every week.

How this is worked out

Each club has an Elo rating that moves after every result (bigger wins move it more, home sides get a small boost). We turn the rating gap into expected goals and use a Poisson model to get win, draw and loss chances. The prediction is locked at kick-off and never edited.

Probabilities, not promises. For analysis and entertainment only. 18+.
