Liverpool 2-9 for Premier League title despite dropping points in Anfield thriller

Premier League leaders Liverpool are 2-9 to win the title despite frustrating their backers in Sunday's pulsating 2-2 draw with Manchester United at Anfield.

Arne Slot's Reds went off at 4-11 to beat their 7-1 visitors with the draw at 9-2. However, United, who had lost five of their previous six league games, gave the home defence an uncomfortable 90 minutes.

Snowy conditions meant there were doubts over whether the game would go ahead and Liverpool struggled to get going during a goalless first half.

United took the lead through defender Lisandro Martinez in the 52nd minute, hitting 11-10 in-play before Cody Gakpo's brilliant equaliser seven minutes later.

Mohamed Salah's 70th-minute penalty put the Reds in charge and they were 1-10 for victory until Amad Diallo levelled for the visitors in the 80th minute.

United's performance at Anfield certainly exceeded pre-match expectations and the Red Devils are 10-11 with Betfair to finish in the top half and 9-1 to make the top six.

The draw leaves Liverpool six points clear of Arsenal, with a game in hand on the Gunners, who are 5-1 to win the title.

Chelsea, like Arsenal, dropped points on Saturday and they are 66-1 to win the league while champions Manchester City are 25-1 and third-placed Nottingham Forest, who travel to Wolves on Monday, are 100-1.

Sunday's first game also ended 2-2 as Fulham drew with Ipswich at Craven Cottage, where three of the four goals came from the penalty spot.

Fulham's Raul Jimenez converted two spot-kicks, including a 91st-minute equaliser, to deny Ipswich, who remain in the bottom three but are evens to stay up. 

Southampton are 1-100 to be relegated with Leicester 1-4, Ipswich 4-6, Wolves 9-4 and Everton 11-4.
