Low goal tally likely as Liverpool host City

Liverpool sit sixth after four wins and one draw from their opening five games. Manchester City top the standings with a perfect record of five victories. Liverpool score an average of one goal per home game this season and have kept clean sheets in three of five matches overall. City have conceded just half a goal per game on their travels. Recent meetings between the sides have seen over two point five goals in only five of the last ten. Both teams have recorded three or more goals in no more than three of their five league fixtures. A cautious approach from both sides could limit the opportunities in open play at Anfield.
