Goal Statistics

Liverpool have been reliable in attack of late, scoring in 8 consecutive English Premier League games. Their PG of 1.6 against Manchester City on Sunday suggests they're likely to extend that run.

Liverpool's defensive record is to be admired, Arne Slot's men having conceded 1 or less in 6 consecutive English Premier League games. An average PG rating of 1.2 for Manchester City makes sense in this context.
