They'll take the game quite seriously and will try to make a statement (in order to show they can compete for top 4/6 next season and facilitate good signings) . Won't be easy for Liverpool.

It’s a tricky game between the CL games as is ours. Would love us to give Madrid a good hiding midweek so we can go full strength. My fear is that it’s close midweek and Pep rests too many players which he has form for

When it was all on the line, when was the last time this team let us down in the league ?

I think we’ll win the last five without too many drama‘s , each win drives a nail in the coffin of Liverpool’s hopes

its going to be delicious watching their desperation over the next four weeks

No need to get ahead of ourselves. Nothing is certain. And that's the beauty of the game.

Tough weekend for both teams. Leeds on a Saturday evening will be tricky but no more so than Newcastle for the lunchtime game. They'll want to make a statement.

The CL games do make a difference. Villareal need to hang on in there and hopefully still be in the game after the 1st leg. Otherwise Liverpool can rotate for the away leg and still get through comfortably. It's unlikely our game is going to be done after the 1st leg, and even if we are 5-0 up Pep would start a strong team next week.

To whoever is out there and makes strange things happen - a Villareal win and a Newcastle win please. If we can go to Leeds knowing Liverpool have dropped points on Saturday that would be brilliant.
 
Luckily they've got 3 away games left and only 2 home games because I think we saw yesterday, referees are too 'scared' to give anything against them at home.

So we might as well write off the Spurs (H) and Wolves (H) games.

If they drop points it'll be one of the away games, probably only Newcastle (A) as Villa and Southampton aren't playing well.

It’s City v Liverpool + the PL + PGMOL/VAR + the Football Media (TV, Press, Social Media).

Yep and why Pep will be telling his team we need score 3+ goals in these last few games so if we get screwed we be at least have a buffer.

Villa and Southampton are playing better than Everton, though, and are at home as well. Liverpool are more likely to drop points in one of those games than they are to win both. For instance, if the chance to win each of these games is 70% (if 70% seems a bit low, factor in that the Villa game is 3 days after Spurs and the Southampton game is 3-4 days after the FA Cup final), then the chance to win both games is only 49 %.

Can't overstate the dynamics this Saturday lunchtime.

Whatever the Liverpool result at Newcastle, it will either make the Leeds game a really tough game or motivate us to leave them for dead.

I’m hoping a Selhurst park situation 2014. Dippers drop points and then KDB goes Yaya at Elland Rd. I think from watching the Liverpool game yesterday we need to be perfect for the next 5 games.

I agree, think Liverpool will edge all their remaining games if they beat Newcastle, which is their biggest challenge because of the short turnaround this week.

We have seen a few times before with City how the 12.30pm kick-off after the Wednesday can make a draw seem like a good result in the end.

Personally. I believe our toughest games our are next two, either side of the Real games.

A major game for Leeds, all contrived to see us fail in the 5.30pm kick-off, followed by an in-form, counter-attacking Newcastle at our place, with nothing to lose.

Definitely write off the Wolves game, Connor Coady will be playing!

Liverpool will not drop 1 point and it’s a lot easier for them with the officials in there pocket we however have to work hard to get a result and Pep be telling his players we need to be scoring 3/4 goals a game so it takes the Var cheating out of the officials hands!

Since that 2-2 draw at home to Liverpool the feeling had after that result was we lost the league that day! Hope am wrong..

Yes but Newcastle in great form

Their form was so bad beforehand.

They have beaten a relegated Norwich and had three home games on the bounce against Wolves, Leicester and Palace.

At the start of this month they lost 5-1 to Spuds and also lost to Everton.

The biggest hope must still be Liverpool are weary from a tough game on Wednesday.

If the Geordies get all giddy and open up, Liverpool will be happy.

We will have to win all our games to win the title.
