We have 4 away games against the bottom 7 and only 2 at home, but none of those 4 are places we'd like to be going at that stage of the season. Our remaining away games are Everton, Palace, Burnley, Wolves, Leeds and West Ham, so not easy at all. We have 4 of the top 9 including the Dippers at home, so really we've amassed our haul by having a nice run of fixtures over the mid-part of the season.

Dippers only have 1 bottom 7 away game left, they have to play 4 of the top 10 away (us, Arsenal, Brighton and Saints) and they have 4 of the top 8 at home (West Ham, Rags, Spurs and Wolves) plus the Merseyside Derby at home. They're currently running through their easier fixtures hence they're keeping pace, but as always with the Dippers it's that Anfield hoodoo and their ability to steal wins like today that keeps them a threat.

The only positive potentially is they're keeping pace by running through their easier fixtures. At some point, they have to do better in games they struggled in first half of the season. Throw in League Cup, CL and FA Cup into the mix as well. Guess my view on the Dippers is can Salah maintain this form all season? If he can, they'll be in the mix, if not, is that depth they've brought in with Diaz added to Jota and Mane enough? They have options this time around.

Possibility it could be 4 times in 10 days :)

The weekend after the CL 2nd leg is the FA Cup Semi final and both of us could still be in that as well..

Would love to play the Dippers four times , after the game at Klanfield this season it is the Dippers who should be wary , once and for all ram their entitlement down their throats and kick them out of every competition going.

Everyone plays 38 games. 19 at home. 19 away. Top six, bottom six, middle six, in form, out of form, no form. 38 games. Same as everyone else. We’ll be fine

It’s like the saying it evens itself out over a season! It doesn’t!

You can play someone out of form in form a two day break a weeks breaks or play a promoted team away early!

A big intangible in the race is (assuming both teams get through) the Champions League quarter final draw with the two legs in the midweeks immediately before and after we play Liverpool. I certainly don't want to have to play the league game if it's sandwiched between us having to play (for example) Bayern Munich twice. Conversely, us having a more straightforward draw than them potentially makes life a little easier.
There's always the horrible prospect of playing the dippers three times in the space of seven days.....

OMG that would be really terrible

Think Liverpool don't look that good tbh, sure theyll beat the bottom half sides they are playing at the moment, but in march theyve got west ham, brighton and United. I don't think they will win all of those games.

Burnley had enuf chances to win today or at very least draw. Liverpool are not the tuf not to crack that they have been in the past.
 
There could be a bit of a swing the next two games. They have a nailed on six points with Norwich and Leeds at home, we have two tough games with Spurs and Everton. People scoff at Spurs but it doesn't matter how shit they are playing we always struggle to beat them lately. Everton are a different proposition under Lampard, now scrapping and gaining confidence. Fingers crossed.

Yip,two banana skin games hell some won’t want to think it but even the derby game is one as well as we know form goes out the window for these games,we get through those games I’ll be feeling a whole lot more confident,don’t forget we closed the gap on the rags in the last 6 games in 2012 what was it 9-10 points…anything is possible..
