Seen a few people say this and, whilst it won't be easy by any means, surely the derby will be a tougher game?

I think Leicester at home is our toughest game. Potential for them to get a European spot subject to us winning the FA Cup. Looking dangerous since Rodgers took over and they play a style that can cause us problems.

Spurs and United are big games. That means the players and fans are up for them. I think United will be more than happy to see us win if it means Liverpool don't win the title. Palace away is always tricky but their home record is poor and they miss a lot of chances. We need to start well and look to attack through the middle. The players rested on Tuesday can come in and improve us.

Leicester at home is one we would expect to win but could catch us out.

For us to win the title, Liverpool need to lose one more game this season. Hopefully that comes on Sunday. If it does it gives us a little breathing room at the right time. A semi with Barca could cause issues for them. They will not have much of the ball and the energy the expend could lead to poor league performances. But if we progress we might have the same issue.

I think we will drop points in the league so need Liverpool to lose once if we are to retain the title.
 
If we take the lead against palace in the first half, i hope we dont come out second half with a different attitude, like, just knocking the ball about and taking it easy

I don’t think this Palace game will be our hardest, but I see where people are coming from. I’m fairly cautious of the fact that it’s after two hard fixtures, and there is potential that we might not play with as much urgency as we would against United. Against United I’m confident that the players will play in 4th or 5th gear throughout, but I don’t hold that same confidence for the Palace and Burnley games.

I just cant see them losing, hopefully they'll slip up against Chelsea and drop two points but i cant see them losing an other game

The tear Hazard is on, I could see them at least drawing. But I think we come out angry against Palace and give them a good thrashing.

Yes I hope we go full on and so we're fully fresh and energized for our game against Spurs three days later.
 
just want the 3 points in the bag before the dippers play Chelsea. I may put a tenner on zaha getting a penalty. 3-1 to city

Danillo (Walker to focus on his game next wednesday)
Stones
Laporte (no Delph pls!!)
Otamendi
Fernandinho
Debruyne
Bernardo
Sterling
Aguero
Sané

We need Sergio & Bernardo to be ready for Spurs.
 
We have not done well against these the past couple of games. More nervous about this one than against Spurs/manure. Play our strongest available team though and we should win it.
