Jordan Henderson's curling effort put the Reds ahead before Edin Dzeko finished off a slick move to equalise. But Brazil midfielder Coutinho capped a fine display with the decisive goal when he struck from 25 yards to records a 2-1 victory against City.
The result leaves City five points behind Chelsea having played a game extra, while Liverpool move to fifth.
City made a two-point gain on Chelsea last weekend but they were unable to make up further ground on Jose Mourinho's side after Coutinho scored the winning goal against them at Anfield for the second consecutive season.
For Liverpool, it kept their unbeaten league record in 2015 and, having taken 26 points from a possible 30, momentum appears to be building in their bid to finish in one of the Champions League places.
