God, I love but also hate the last few months of a season, especially when it's Liverpool involved.

It won't happen but can you imagine losing out on the title on the last day to this Liverpool side ?
Just thinking about it makes me puke
 
Who ever wins the league this season it will be by 3 points max not the gap it is right now. The game v Liverpool is crucial if we win that it’s over.

we have some very tricky games coming up inc champs league.

So, if we win, that'll probably put us 9 points ahead of them, at least! They're in the Chumps league too - and Carabou final as well.
 
They didn't really even miss Mane & Salah during their time at the AFCON.
I'm confident we'll win the title but i think they may win the CL

Our remaining games-
H- Brentford
A- Norwich
H- Spurs
A- Everton
H- Utd
A- Palace
H - Brighton
A- Burnley
H- Liverpool
A- Wolves
H- Watford
A- Leeds
H- Newcastle
A- WHU
H- Villa

I see 10 wins but 5 tricky games as follows, which we could win however,

Spurs at home I think we will win, however they can perform when they want to. Crowd need to be up for this as they do for all our home games. Win for us.
United always raise their game against us. Could they scrape a draw, I'd like to think not.Win for us.
Wolves away, they are a good team and this could be a draw. Draw.
WHU is tricky however they are right at the end of the season and it could be over. Draw.
Liverpool at home is key and a must win for them. They will be well up for it. Will they win all their remaining 16 games , I don't think so. This could well be a draw which is good for us.

The key is that of our next 8 games we must treat them all as a Cup Final. Get the wins against Spurs and Utd and we will be well set for the Liverpool game.

We must play the next 7 games and treat each as a cup final. That would set us up nicely for the Liverpool game which they would have to win.
 
The best thing Liverpool can do for us is keep us honest until the final day of the season. No stepping off the gas as we did last season. One game at a time, in league and cups, until there are no games left to play. Then let's see where we are at.

exactly all these points total mean nothing, it is all about momentum and confidence. if we win the next 7 then we go into the liverpool match with a big advantage and if we proceed to destroy them in that game then the title race is done in the first week of april, there is no coming back from that for pool.

Referees helped them vs Palace, though. Remember, they dropped 7 pts over 3 games with Salah and Mane.

We are in a great position. I feel confident, but not because of stats and tendencies from the first 20 games or so. Teams hit or lose form during a season, and surprises, even big surprises, are certainly possible.

What makes me feel confident is the quality of the team. The potential is extremely high: we have an excellent defence, and we have incredible creativity: Cancelo, Rodri, Gundogan, Bernardo, KDB, Mahrez, Foden, Grealish, Jesus... This team is capable of exceptional performances. The difference with last season is that we had a winter break this season and most of the players haven't played a lot of minutes so far. Last season, most players peaked in February and weren't sufficiently fresh in the final 4-5 weeks, especially Rodri and Cancelo, but also Dias, Bernardo and Gundogan... This season, we are more likely to be in top form come April and May (but also more likely to have shaky moments in February). So, even if we drop points before Liverpool, we are likely to finish strongly, injuries permitting. It's probably the opposite with Liverpool: they have a brutal fixture schedule and will feel tiredness in the final weeks, imo. Some of their stars have played more minutes than Bernardo this season, and they are older than Bernie...
 
Bet you go on the Liverpool forum they’ll be saying the premier is in the bag! For some reason they the opposite to us as fans.

Spot on Ag9320. The next 7 are key and we must be totally up for each one and the home support could be key. Lisbon and Peterbro will be less pressure games and we should win, however......these 7 are the ones, close them out and don't give Liverpool a sniff.

I doubt it. Some Liverpool fans may think so, but they are probably a minority. They know we are very strong.

I think also that most City fans are optimistic. Nothing is decided yet, but most City fans realize we are in a great position.
