Burnley play twice at HOME before Everton play again. Just get 4 points out of them two and they’ll be above Everton come the Derby.

Lampard will sort em for. 0-0
 
Can just see the bullshit headlines if we are a point ahead final game and Gérards Villa get something at our place.

As much as I want to think so, I'm still embarrassed at thinking the rags might do the same last night. And as hard as it is to admit, Everton are even worse, local derby or not.

Stranger things have happened but it's more in hope than expectation. As someone mentioned on the post match, Newcastle might be the one where they could drop points.

Love the positivity. I remain optimistic, especially for the PL. After watching last night I can't see LFC dropping any points. They have gained momentum from the semi-final win (I feared this would happen) but we have been better during the run-in than any other club in the last decade (even before Pep) so bring it on.

Don't believe the hype with Liverpool mate. No one saw us dropping so many points. No one saw us coming back from 7pts behind to win it in 18/19. Momentum can shift quickly. They drew 3-3 with Benfica... they can draw again or even lose.

We are generally a negative/nervous bunch from years of pain. Their front three are unstoppable, scoring and assisting each other. What did Mahrez, Foden, De Bruyne and Bernardo get up to tonight?!

We keep going one game at a time! 6 to win now.

Burnley play twice before that Liverpool-Everton game. Everton could be third from bottom, or only a point or two from being, so it could be one of the biggest games for decades for them!
 
Newcastle away on a Saturday lunchtime after playing in the CL could be tricky for them. As for City, Wolves away is a difficult game, especially if they defend as stubbornly as they did at or place earlier in the season.

The pressure had been mounting for a while. We're low on confidence lfc are off the planet in confidence.

I would say its lfc's title just because they're in the right place for this time of the season. But jeez I hope we can stop them in at least one front because they're going to eclipse our achievements if they win everything this year.

The pressure IS on us, and the momentum IS currently with them.

We are still ahead though, and have been here before.

We are not bloody 5000:1 Leicester hoping for a miracle to hang onto a spot nobody believed we could be in. Have gone on long winning runs quite a few times when it mattered, the belief should be there to go on another.

Whatever Burnley do does not alter the fact that Everton are shite. The best we can hope for out of the weekend fixtures is that we manage to improve our goal difference. Newcastle and Spurs appear to be the most likely games the dippers might drop points.
 
We have a few tricky games left. The West Ham one is interesting as it is a few days before the Europa League final. If West Ham get to the final I assume they will rest pretty much all their first team.

They play Villa away 3 days after Spurs and Southampton away 3-4 days after the FA Cup final. These 2 games also may be a problem for them.

Maths shows that both teams are likely to drop points. If we give City and Liverpool 85 % chance to win any of the 6 games (that's a bit high, though), then both teams will have only about 38 % chance to win all 6 games.

Personally, I think the game at Leeds may be more difficult for us than expected. Fortunately, it's 4 days after the 1st leg vs Real and 4 days before the 2nd leg. Liverpool will have it more difficult, for the game at Newcastle will be just 63 hours after the 1st leg vs Villarreal.

It’s a good point and if they don’t they’ll be flat as a pancake also, loads of variables for both teams between now & the end of the season, we are all scrambling around looking for that 1% extra, it’s not usually teams that have something big to play for, it’s the teams in mid to lower table who are dangerous such as Villa, who have good attackers, lots of pace & can really turn up on any given day or maybe Newcastle who are safe & looking to build momentum
