The Title Race 2022/23

[117 M34]

Klopp dropping a load of player last night could help us if he brings them back for Sunday.
They will be rested and also have something to prove.

I think we need them to drop points before the FA Cup semi-final.

Otherwise they'll be 11 points ahead going into the head to head match, and while we'll have 2 games in hand, points on the board is a real thing, it will take the pressure off them.

I might be a lone voice on this but rather the Tarquins than any of the red top or spuds, saying that I honestly believe we will edge it this season and whoever wins it will deserve it.

We've got a game against Brighton too.

I think you're being harsher on City than Arsenal in those games. Apart from when we play Arsenal, Newcastle and Liverpool away are by far the toughest games either side have.

Outside those games, you've got us dropping points, but Arsenal winning every game, when their other games look tougher as well.

The gap is currently two points, that's the way I choose to see it.

Factoring us winning our game in hand and needing to beat Arsenal at home, regardless.

All the rest is just hype.

Arsenal only need to draw a game and then goal difference becomes a factor.

All the above is based on us being perfect, which I don't expect, but I suspect Arsenal will be less so as the pressure mounts.

If they fail to take maximum points from Liverpool and Newcastle away, we will do it again.

I think arsenal will lose to us and pool and draw to Newcastle and I think we win all are games because we got are form back the city we love are back big players are stepping up like kev mahrez and if we don't have haaland we got alvarez

My worry is that Liverpools away form is shocking for their high standards, but as the Utd game showed they are still capable of pulling a performance out the bag at Anfield. Plus, our record there is terrible as well.

I couldn't give a fuck about dippers away form as long as they take 3 points of the tarquins on Sunday.

They will do Liverpool over. That’s my mindset going into the game anyway.

Take care of our results and the rest will look after itself

You're forgetting Brighton in that. That's got to be rescheduled for us, and we play them at their gaff. Won't be easy. But it gives us one extra game.
I think Arsenal will take three points at Anfield, now, but I agree with you on every other fixture, except Newcastle United, where I believe they'll lose in a tight game (1-0. Newcastle's defensive record is far better than anyone else's. They've had difficulty in scoring, but they seem to be getting their mojo back on that count. They will also be playing for top four at that point, I believe, and if that doesn't motivate the Geordies, I don't know what will). On our fixtures I'd be sort of surprised if we don't take three points at Fulham, but I think we could easily draw at Brentford. In short, I think you're being too generous to Fulham, and not enough to Brentford. Same number of points taken in either scenario.
Everton will be a dogfight. They'll pack their box, and play it like an away game. They'd be happy with a point again against us. That'll be as much of a key match, but for very different reasons, as the one against Arsenal on 26th. The latter — if ever there was a must-win fixture, that's it. It's not quite a must-win fixture for them, but if they do win it they're champions, in my view. They'd probably settle for a draw. But neither team really does draws, if you notice.
I've studied and studied the remaining fixtures for both teams, but it's like trying to read tea leaves.
