Corresponding fixtures last year:

	Played​	Won​	Drawn​	Lost​	Goals For​	Goals Against​	GD​	Points​
City	9​	6​	3​	0​	15​	4​	+11​	21​
Liverpool	9​	3​	3​	3​	12​	12​	0​	12​

(Watford game not included for either)

Both teams could win every game (bar the game against each other) but nobody in their right mind would swap our fixtures for theirs.

Still like our chances, will like them even more if we beat Palace tonight. Still think high 80's will be enough.

I'd have to say I agree with this. The stats are one thing, but apart from their "wobble" around Christmas, Liverpool rarely look like dropping a point. I would not be shocked if they won every game from here on in, which is why our head to head is IMO going to be vital.

Other than playing us, I think only Arsenal away and Southampton away are going to trouble them at all.

Dreamland mate but I hope you are correct.

I think the rags will be another tricky one for them as will Villa but generally I agree, they could win all of their games.

Mentally they are fully set on their first target, which is winning all of their games and getting to the Etihad with the chance to beat us and get on top.

It's whether they can do that, whether they can then go on and keep winning and, most importantly, whether we can keep winning too.

What's odd is that both teams seem weaker. Defensively they concede some shocking chances the opposition inevitably miss. And offensively we can look short of ideas at times. But yet the potential points tally is still so high for both teams. It is one hell of a rivalry.

I can see us drawing tonight and the dippers following suit on Wednesday.
92 is the magic number…

Not a chance Liddlepool will get 12 points from Arse, City away & Utd, Everton home. 2 teams scrapping for 4th, one for the title and one for their premier league lives. They will crack.
