I'm backing a tie in my Man City vs. Liverpool prediction for today's clash of titans at Anfield (11:30 a.m. ET, Peacock).
Neither team is in peak form, with Liverpool the slight +130 monelyine betting favorite. Both teams have fallen off the pace of league leaders Arsenal, with Man City desperate for three points to decrease the gap at the top to six points. Liverpool has just as much to play for as they chase a Champions League position.

💰 Man City vs. Liverpool best bet: Tie (+290)
Check out all of our soccer betting analysis and expert predictions this season.
Liverpool tied three of its last five Premier League matches against Arsenal, Fulham, and Burnley. Man City is in the same boat, having tied Tottenham, Brighton, and Chelsea.
And while City has been the superior team, leading the Reds by eight points, Liverpool has the clear advantage of playing in front of its raucous Anfield fans.
Liverpool has been comparatively substandard at home, but the 12th man of Anfield is the great equalizer in critical matchups. It should buoy the Reds, facilitating a share of the spoils against a City team that has tied five of its 12 road matches.
Score prediction: Man City 1, Liverpool 1
🙌 Best Man City vs. Liverpool goal-scorer prediction: Erling Haaland, Man City (+110)
While Haaland is enduring arguably his worst slump since joining Man City, having scored one goal in his previous seven Premier League matches, I have more faith in him scoring than anyone else.
Haaland has so much quality that I don't expect his slump to last. I'm also jumping on the opportunity to get Haaland at plus-money odds.
Despite his current slump, Haaland leads the Premier League with 20 goals in 24 matches. In all competitions, Haaland has netted 27 times in 35 appearances.
