Match Details
Liverpool v Manchester City takes place on Sunday, October 11, 2026 at Anfield. The kick-off time and UK broadcast details for this fixture are still to be confirmed by the Premier League.
Anfield
Anfield has been Liverpool's home ground since the club's formation in 1892, having originally been built for Everton in 1884. Based in the Anfield area of the city, Anfield is one of the most impressive stadiums in England, holding 61,276 fans at full capacity following the completion of the Anfield Road Stand expansion in 2024. Famous for the Spion Kop end and the pre-match rendition of "You'll Never Walk Alone", you can really feel the history of the club. If you're travelling to the stadium from Liverpool city centre, it's incredibly easy to get to via public transport. The best option is probably to get the train to Liverpool Lime Street or Sandhills station, both around two miles from the ground, before hopping on one of the regular matchday bus services or a short taxi ride the rest of the way.
Head-to-Head Record
Everyone knows that this is one of English football's biggest rivalries, with 201 meetings between the two sides. Of those 201 meetings, Liverpool have won 95 times compared to City's 53, while there have been 53 draws. In terms of just Premier League meetings, this fixture has also been closely contested down the years, though City have won the last three meetings between the sides. On top of this, Manchester City had dominated the fixture over the past couple of seasons under Pep Guardiola, most recently thrashing Liverpool in the FA Cup. This season, however, both clubs head into the fixture under new management, and Liverpool will be hoping to reassert themselves in this fixture on home soil. However, Liverpool have had a tough start to the season, drawing both their opening fixtures 2-2 with Newcastle and Nottingham Forest. Manchester City on the other hand have fared better, winning both their opening games, one comfortably against Crystal Palace and the other thanks to a last minute winner from Josko Gvardiol against Bournemouth.
Last Meeting: Manchester City 4-0 Liverpool (April 4, 2026)
The last meeting between Liverpool and Manchester City was in April 2026 and it saw City do more than enough to secure the points in a one-sided FA Cup quarter-final. Erling Haaland scored a hat-trick either side of a goal from Antoine Semenyo as City cruised to a comfortable win at the Etihad Stadium, with Mohamed Salah also missing a penalty on a miserable afternoon for the Reds. This result would go on to compound a difficult campaign for Liverpool, who ultimately finished fifth in the Premier League and parted ways with manager Arne Slot at the end of the season.
Liverpool 2026-2027 Season
Liverpool head into the 2026-2027 campaign with Andoni Iraola now in charge of the club following his appointment in the summer after Arne Slot's departure. Having spent big on reshaping the squad, which includes the likes of Ronald Araujo, Jeremy Jacquet, and Victor Munoz, Liverpool now look to have a squad better suited to their new manager's style than they did last campaign. As a result, there is an expectation on them to bounce back quickly and at least make an attempt to challenge for the Premier League title again. With the squad now looking a lot fresher, it's now up to Andoni Iraola and his side to prove they can put last season's disappointment behind them and challenge for major honours once again. However, with Iraola's side likely to look to play a different style of football this season, there may be a bit of a transition period. If Liverpool are going to take the step up this season, they will no doubt be heavily reliant on talisman Dominik Szoboszlai again, alongside record signing Florian Wirtz, who will be hoping to make a bigger impact under the new head coach this campaign.
Manchester City 2026-2027 Season
Manchester City are undoubtedly a club in transition currently, having said farewell to Pep Guardiola after ten trophy-laden years in charge, but having spent big in the summer transfer window, their squad looks a lot fresher than it has done for some time. Signing the likes of club-record signing Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest, along with World Cup star Ayyoub Bouaddi, means their squad now has some exciting new faces to go alongside the experience of Erling Haaland and Phil Foden. However, the loss of Bernardo Silva to Real Madrid and World Cup winner Rodri to Barcelona will no doubt be a huge loss to Enzo Maresca's side, who seem to have lost a lot of Premier League experience from their midfield. City ended last season with the FA Cup and EFL Cup in the bag but had to settle for the runners-up spot in the Premier League behind Arsenal. With Enzo Maresca now at the wheel, it will be interesting to see whether this new approach can bring the title back to the Etihad this campaign. Manchester City have started the season well, but this game against Liverpool will be a good test on whether they can compete this season.
