<p>A must-win for both, Liverpool take on Man City at Anfield on Monday, February 9, with kick-off at 03:30 AEDT.</p> <p>Pep Guardiola will take his City team to Merseyside following their comprehensive victory over Newcastle in the League Cup and a place in the final. However, he'll demand an improvement in the English Premier League after they let go of a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with Tottenham last time out.</p> <p>Arne Slot's side has scored 10 goals in their last two games, including four against Newcastle in their last EPL match. They need to keep putting the wins on the board with their title-defending season being nothing but largely miserable for those in red.</p> <p>Read on for our Liverpool vs Man City betting predictions…</p> <h2>Quick Picks</h2> <ul> <li>Our pick: Draw</li> <li>Value bet: Semenyo to score anytime</li> <li>Long shot: Correct score 2-2</li> </ul> <h2>Betting Preview</h2> <p>Both teams have plenty to play for, despite the fact that this game is one that will feature two of the three teams that have consistently been fighting for the <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/huddle/punter-iq/guide/premier-league-betting-guide">Premier League</a> title over the last few seasons.</p> <p>Neither team has been great over their last five league games, either. Both have only won once, with three draws and a defeat each. Not the form you'd expect from two of the top teams.</p> <p>When looking at the head-to-head between these two sides, it's been hard to call.</p> <p>Man City won 3-0 earlier in the campaign, but it's the only win they've had in the last five. Liverpool did the double over them last season (both 2-0), while two draws were recorded in the season before (both 1-1).</p> <h2>Betting Markets to Watch</h2> <p>While both haven't been in the best form, goals haven't been in short supply. Liverpool have scored at least once in their last three <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/soccer/united-kingdom/english-premier-league">EPL</a> games, while Man City have scored four times in their last two. We think that there is value in the Over 3.5 Goals market, with both defences prone to conceding; injuries and new partnerships are still being dealt with by both teams.</p> <p>Antonie Semenyo to score anytime is also worth value. He has three goals in his last five <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/huddle/soccer/soccer-news/epl-betting-form-stats-analysis">Premier League</a> games, and scored a brace in the first game of the season when he was still a Bournemouth player at Anfield. He has quickly become an important player for City.</p> <p>Hugo Ekitike could also be worth value in this market, having scored a brace against Newcastle in the last game. He has been their most potent player, and could step up once again.</p> <h2>Our Prediction</h2> <p>Check the latest <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/soccer/united-kingdom/english-premier-league/liverpool-v-man-city-10082816">Liverpool vs Man City betting odds</a> at Sportsbet.</p> <p>We think that it is likely that a draw will be the result of this game. Both teams have firepower, but their defences have shown issues in keeping clean sheets recently.</p> <p>We think a 'correct score of 2-2' offers value that is worth exploring, especially with our thoughts regarding the 'Over 3.5' to hit. Indeed, the 'Over 3.5 Goals' market has hit in three of Liverpool's last four EPL matches as a favourite.</p> <h2>Keep Reading</h2> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/huddle/epl/predictions">Our latest Premier League tips and predictions</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/huddle/soccer/soccer-news/epl-winners-by-year">Every Premier League champion since the competition began</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/huddle/epl/predictions/epl-players-to-watch-2025">The breakout stars lighting up the Premier League this season</a></li> </ul>
