I reckon we'll score a few against Villa - their defence was abysmal the other night and I was amazed Liverpool only got 2. But with Liverpool easily scoring 10 or more goals against Southampton and Wolves combined, we can't rely on goal difference - need at least a draw on Sunday. If I was offered 0-0 now I'd take it.

Na mate, we'll get 6 points easily. The way we're playing at the moment is unstoppable. Have the faith, and let's have no more talk of 0-0 draws :)
 
Know its early but who do we expect to play Centrebacks? Hopefully Laporte ain’t that bad and we can play Ake + laporte, but seems Only Ake is guaranteed. Out of CJ Egan Riley and Mbete who do u guys rate more? Isn’t CJ originally a right back? Antonio always a threat...
 
West Ham are 3 points and a much better goal difference behind the rags, rags play Palace after 2 weeks or in reality 3 months on the beach. Palace are more likely to win that game.

West Hams final game is Brighton away where they'll have a better chance of a result than against us so would still get that 6th spot & put the rags into the Santa Clause FC league.

Southampton could be harder than many think, especially if City do pick up points at West Ham.

Liverpool play Saturday night in the FA Cup Final and will likely be without Fabinho. It's a quick turnaround for them, especially if there is extra time at Wembley.

I suspect if City win on Sunday, Liverpool will start to play the percentages and go lighter if they lose the FA Cup final and with a Champions League final to also factor.

Last night's win at Wolves was huge. We have a margin of error that means Liverpool can't go all out for goals against Southampton without leaving the back door also open.

While I agree with the sentiments the big issue for us is we have no central defence and the Hammers, especially with Valencia & Bowen, will be well motivated for many reasons to make the most of it. I can see us dropping points here. Can only hope that someone comes back to fill the void for the last game.
 
I'm still shocked many predicting big wins for them lot in their last two games, they look to be running on near empty and no real signs of putting 5 or 6 past anyone.

The odds show that we're expected to have the same chance of beating Hammers then they are at Saints.

Also BFEX has us at 94% to win the league...

Anyone feel any better?

In reality West Ham will be no more or less motivated then they would be for any end of season home game. They are well organised, pose a threat from quick transitions and are capable of causing an upset. However, we are in good form in the league recently and we are well capable of scoring 2 or 3 goals. Despite our defensive issues I see us edging this one and certainly getting the draw we need at a minimum.
 
We managed one goal in the 2 PL games v Soton, and they defended well. They played better against City, United and Spurs than they did against bottom half teams this year.

If we win against West Ham, I genuinely wont give a fuck what they do vs Southampton.

In fact if anything, if we get 3 points on Sunday, I'd Want them to win vs Southampron, so our players can seal it on the pitch on the last day and not sat on twitter on their couches.

The only way I can see them scoring a lot of goals is if we give them some encouragement by losing to West Ham. However, if we win they'll know it's very unlikely to come down to goal difference as we'd need to lose to Villa for it to be relevant.

If we beat West Ham then Klopp may start resting players for the CL final.
 
Best form of defense for us right now is to attack.

We have seen how lethal we are last few weeks scoring 20 + Goals.

West Ham are going to create chances.

We are going to create chances and dominate possession.

I still fancy us for the win

And even if we draw it will be a good point.

We could lose (highly Unlikely given we can taste it) and still win the League on Goal difference.

Big win last nice has given us breathing space.

180 minutes and we will be Premier League Champions for the 6th time.

Yes, last night basically turned it into "win one of two" which would be a freak not to achieve.

There is the distinct possibility of us winning the league next Wednesday night without kicking a ball, and allowing the likes of Fernandinho, Jesus and anyone else on there way out to have a last hurrah without pressure at the Villa game.

It's actually Tuesday the Dippers play, so even less turnaround than you think!

The will rest players if we win on Sunday
I mean look at our defence, imagine if we had a champions league final to play and we were missing walker, stones, Dias and Laporte
Is it worth the risk
