Next League Games

Beat Liverpool at Anfield and it would be all over IMO. They would not be overhauling a 10 point gap and no-one else has the quality to stay the course.

However, our form there is nothing short of abysmal so a win is unfortunately highly unlikely. More likely it will be a 4 point gap and scrapping to the end. Maybe, just for once FFS, we can turn up at their place.

If Liverpool stutter again in their next game, we can be 10 points clear by the time we play them. If not then I am still happy with a Draw

But honestly I think it criminal that we don't win the game against them cause their defense is at its bare bones and we must take advantage of that

I can see us wining against them but lets win the Burnley game first

Yes but no fans, a decimated defence and some issues with Klopp and the board.
We will never have a better time to win there.

absolutely the difference this time though no crowd and no VVD plus they can’t afford to lose so less pressure on us
It would be nice if KDB was back (unlikely ) and Aguero on the bench

Must win the Burnley and West Ham games, goes without saying.

Liverpool is a free hit, we always do shite there, avoid defeat and we're laughing, win and that might be the signal for the rest of the contenders.

Spurs will be tough, they're in the hunt for top 4, could probably do with them having a couple of poor results before hand, starting at Chelsea on Thursday. Kane being out will make it a slightly easier game.

Arsenal play Benfica either side of use, starting with the away leg first, thats their best shot of Champions League football, so they may have an eye on that. Should be beating them.

United have a decent run before us but I said after the Sheffield United result that this is where I expect them to start tailing off. Dropped points to Arsenal, they'll drop points in 1 of their next 2 vs Southampton and Everton and they also have Chelsea away before us. We'll end any half chance they have left.

I'd take:
Burnley (A) - Win
Liverpool (A) - Draw
Tottenham (H) - Win (Maybe a Draw if we play well)
Arsenal (A) - Win
West Ham (H) - Win
Man Utd (H) - Draw

12-14 points in this fashion and I think we'll see it out.

All the teams around us have European matches to contend with and a few Fa cup ones as well. We all play each other from now to the end of the season so for me we have the best squad and best chance. One game at a time .

 

[lust overlord]

We've got a tough set of fixtures still to come,let's get them out of the way,maximum points please City.

 

[deano ou812]

Start of a run of hard fixtures coming up,as has happened to teams already things can change quickly with a couple of poor results or obviously the reverse with a couple of wins,I’m keeping my powder dry till these run of fixtures are done,not wanting to tempt fate thinking we’ve got it wrapped up ..

Liverpool (A)
Tottenham (H)
Arsenal (A)
West Ham (H)
Man Utd (H)

It's a tall order to win all of them but if we do it's all over.

 

[Impeccable One]

Liverpool (A)
Tottenham (H)
Arsenal (A)
West Ham (H)
Man Utd (H)

It's a tall order to win all of them but if we do it's all over.

I think 10 points from that and don’t lose to dippers or scum and we’re good enough to get across the winners line from there.

 

[abu13]

Sunday will be tough, the Dippers will be hurt after 2 defeats and i think we will have to be on it 100%

Liverpool (A)
Tottenham (H)
Arsenal (A)
West Ham (H)
Man Utd (H)

One game at a time, it’s the Pep way. All the other teams will be dropping points so we will have a clearer picture when we have got past those fixtures. Also the Chumps/FA Cup could have implications with team selection.

League table boxing Day. Some turnaround this

Scousers 8 points from 7 games, not great. We are 21 points from 7 games, sheer brilliance.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

We'll get maximum points from those games. Nobody is stopping us. Nobody.

 

[Delphinho]

Seems like Allison, Fabinho and Mane will be back on Sunday. VVD the only absent. Will be a very tough game, would take a draw

 

[DMA's]

Looking ahead to the derby I can see it being very close between us and United. Before us they play: Everton (h), West Brom (a), Newcastle (h) and Chelsea away, i expect them to get 10 points from those 4 games leaving them with 54 points. United will also have the opportunity to rest players in the europa league

We play Liverpool (a), spurs (h), arsenal (a), West Ham (h) we would need to get 7 points from these games to get us to 54 points (with a game in hand). If we can go into the derby with a points lead I would be delighted. Vital 5 games coming up

Talking about a side that just lost to Sheff Utd unpredictable as fuck.

1 game at a time don't worry about the others let them worry about us.

I'd take the draw as well. Keep the current gap (7 pts and a game in hand). But.... Will we ever have a better chance of dicking them on their own patch? Their morale must be fairly low right now, whereas we're flying at the moment. But, of course, they'll be right up for this game. As they bloody should be. Will Pep be bold and go for it, or be cautious and accept a draw?

The scheduling of the West Ham game makes that really tricky. Klopp may moan a lot but he’s right to complain about how the premier league treats team in the champions league. For us to play Sunday afternoon, then Saturday at 12.30 either side of an away fixture in the champions league is disgraceful.
