Liverpool
- Liverpool have lost all four WSL games in the 2025-26 season with no points and eight goals conceded.
- Liverpool thrashed Sunderland 5-0 in their only League Cup assignment so far and that showed the spark that could push them into cup contention, but they have not yet shown it in the league.
- Liverpool, with their structured back three and wing-backs on the outside, will be more conservative in approach and look to frustrate the visitors with a compact defence and their set-piece routines. In terms of Liverpool (W) vs Manchester City (W) betting tips, this defensive style could play a crucial role in limiting City’s attack.
Manchester City

Liverpool
- Iman Beney has been an impact player off the bench in recent weeks, scoring a late winner against Arsenal and Sophie Román Haug showed her ability to lead the line in the League Cup with a brace.
- Cornelia Kapocs, who opened Liverpool's league scoring, remains their primary threat with the ability to provide width and direct play.
- Jenna Clark and Gemma Bonner are the bedrock of the defence and will have their hands full of City’s in-form goal machine Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw.
Manchester City
- Vivianne Miedema provides the clinical finishing and creative link-up play that makes City’s forward line tick when in the lineup while Andrée Jeglertz’s influence on the team is evident in their high-pressing, possession-based approach.
- Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw remains City’s focal scoring threat.
