Betting on Liverpool vs Manchester City is a tricky task, especially this early in a season. The Reds will be looking to capture the trophy for the first time since 2006, whereas City's last success came against the Merseyside outfit in 2019, squeezing home on penalties. Liverpool do however have a stronger record in the Shield, having competed in it 21 times previously, winning outright ten times, sharing it five times (before penalties were introduced) and losing six.

The Manchester club on the other hand don't do quite so well, losing seven of their thirteen appearances in this annual season curtain-raiser. So although past seasons should not really have any bearing on this result, any Liverpool vs Manchester City Community Shield betting tips perhaps should take the fact into account.

This is an incredibly tough game to call, so any Liverpool vs Manchester City betting predictions need to be made with a degree of caution. These two are expected to compete closely in every competition throughout the season, so no reason to expect this clash to be any different.

Pre-season transfer activity may have some bearing on any Liverpool vs Manchester City Community Shield betting tips, with the Reds losing Sadio Mane, but Mo Salah re-signing and Uruguayan sensation Darwin Nunez arriving, along with exciting teenager Fabio Carvalho. City on their part, have added Erling Haaland and Kalvin Phillips to their ranks, and their squad just looks a little stronger, so possibly shading it in any Liverpool vs Manchester City prediction.

That said, these two are so difficult to split, and recent matches have often tended to end level, so possibly the safest Liverpool vs Manchester City predictions should go down the route of a draw, followed by a penalty shoot-out.
