Obviously the way it is going we will have to win all four. Every team we play though we have already beaten this season. I can’t see any reason why we can’t beat them again particularly as it’s looking like they will all have very little to play for. Wolves seem to be imploding a bit and Newcastle were garbage today.
 
there would some odd chances Spurs getting something at Anfield, but obviously they wont.

I fully expect another luckbox thing to happen for Pool, something like Spurs losing to Leicester tomorrow and Conte wont be able to handle it and attacks one of his player or resigns due to a fight with Levy something like this just days before their Pool game.
or Son + Kane will an injury tomorrow and being ruled out of the Pool game.

also the ref will be funny and will be instructed to help Pool to the 3 points.
 
The game that causes me concern, unfortunately, is our final one
 
I think our last 3 is harder then their last 3, we could do with spurs taking something off them next weekend, when we play newcastle at home. If we go into the last 3 with a free draw then its ours for sure. I dont like west ham and wolves away back to back though, that's a parked bus hellscape.
 
Let's update the probabilities.

We should factor in both the strength of the teams (City and Liverpool), and the fact they'll be more motivated to win than the opposition.

If we give City/Liverpool 90 % chance to win each of their remaining league games, then the chance that they win all 4 games is about 66%.

The chance that both teams won't drop any points is slightly above 40 %.

I'm surprised that Liverpool still look so fresh. They looked much fresher than Newcastle in the 2nd half. It's impressive. Apparently, the fact they avoided strong teams in the CL is helping them big time. City ran nearly 123 km vs Real, Liverpool only 107 vs Villarreal. Huge difference.

But we are hitting form, we scored 16 goals in the last 4 games. Last season we were losing form in April/May. This season we are hitting form at the right time.

Interesting, so the chances are one team will win all of their games but not both. So whichever team that is wins the league. Liverpool seem fresher at the moment, but City are playing better, City have a harder CL semifinal second leg but Liverpool have a tough FA Cup Final. I think on the balance it will be us, we have a better team, squad and manager, however the fact that Gerrard’s Aston Villa plays both of us does bother me.

I agree, we seem to be hitting form.

I think either way, we benefit. If they make the final, they will be rest players.

And if they don't get through, they will be gutted from losing out on silverware, and on CL qualification as a result.

I think their match today is really important, too. If they lose today, their task of even making the UEFA league is much harder.

It's impossible to predict but (attempting to predict) in an ideal world they win against Arsenal today (which means that Wolves may not have anything much to play for by the time they play us), and they also get into the final.
 
It looks to me like the premier league has got, exactly what Scudamore wanted. IE the lead constantly changing hands, more so since a lot of Liverpools games have been placed miraculously before ours. I might get shot down for this, but I still think they’re trying to “engineer” another Aguero end to the season.

I’m trying to look at it that even if they go out their confidence will be shot. Lots of physical & mental pressure on them either way

Lets hope so, 'Bernardooooooooo'.
 
Minor annoyance that we play a day later than them for the next 2 league fixtures. At least with the FA Cup final they will have to sit on being a game behind for half a week.

Their schedule still looks cluttered whereas ours looks quite calm towards the end of the season. Could bode well for the Champions League Final but we need to do everything we can to get there on Wednesday.

Signs that Liverpool fans are starting to break under the pressure. (Though of course plenty on here don't handle the pressure either!)
