“I’ve got a strong feeling” – Paul Scholes and Roy Keane share differing predictions for the Manchester City vs Liverpool clash.

Paul Scholes and Roy Keane offered contrasting predictions ahead of Liverpool’s Premier League clash with Manchester City on Sunday.

The Reds could move above Pep Guardiola’s side into second place with a win at the Etihad — repeating last season’s triumph — and possibly close the gap on leaders Arsenal if they slip up at Sunderland the day before.

After enduring a dreadful run of six defeats in seven matches, Arne Slot’s team have bounced back strongly with victories over Aston Villa and Real Madrid. However, they now face a City side that has won eight of its last ten games.

What did Scholes and Keane predict for Man City vs Liverpool?

During Stick to Football, the pundits shared their picks for the weekend’s Premier League fixtures, with most expecting a home win for City.

Ian Wright said, “It would be a good result to draw, but I think City will beat them,” a sentiment echoed by both Jill Scott and Roy Keane. Gary Neville, meanwhile, avoided committing to a winner.

But Paul Scholes went the other way, saying confidently, “I have a massive feeling. I just think Liverpool are better. 2-1.” The former United midfielder also stated earlier in the week that Liverpool are “a better team than Real Madrid.”

Liverpool’s growing confidence

Just a week ago, the trip to the Etihad might have looked intimidating, but back-to-back wins have reignited belief within Slot’s squad.

If Liverpool can repeat last season’s result, it would mark a major turnaround after a difficult October. Still, they’ll need to be defensively sharp to contain Erling Haaland, who has already scored 27 goals for club and country since August.

Liverpool managed to keep Kylian Mbappé quiet in midweek, and that will give them encouragement heading into Sunday’s test. They’ll need to be at their absolute best — but with momentum on their side, confidence is high that another big win could be on the cards.
