Liverpool home - average 2.3 points per game

Liverpool away - average 0.86 points per game

They're clearly a different team at home, with their form putting them comfortably in the top 4. Add to that, the hope that they probably owe their fans another decent showing, I'm fairly hopeful they can get something from the game

Not sure why, Liverpool arn’t the force they were and west Ham are dire at the moment. Expect them to win both comfortably. Newcastle and Brighton both in form teams are the tough ones for arsenal.

Liverpool only lost once at home all season no matter how bad they are nobody seems to have it easy there.
 
The Goons have three very tough away games , Dippers , ourselves and he Barcodes , if they ge tan improbable four points from those games it will still not be enough , we on the other hand have played all the tough away games , there are only two Everton & Brighton that i think could cause a problem, but the difficulty of those two games is nothing like what the Goons have to face.
Idiots like Ian Wright waffling on about his beloved team winning a first title for twenty years deep down do not believe it themselves , if he applied some logic instead of his blind faith he would relalise that we are relentless over the last dozen games every season , ask the Dippers.
 
I have a horrible feeling we’ll drop points against Southampton. They’re a bogey team for us.

Everyone is hoping Liverpool do us a favour but we just need to focus on ourselves.

People are writing off Liverpool at Anfield? During Hillsborough memorial week? The centurion season we went there in the best form in the history of the club whilst Liverpool were fighting for 4th and they battered us for 45mins.

Teams go there and forget how to play their natural game, Real Madrid were getting smashed by an average pool side and only got back into the game through an Alisson error, you cant apply logic when it comes to Anfield, the refs always favour them there too.

Partey will be getting booed from min 1, pool havent forgot he injured Diaz for 6months plus he's on bail. Gabriel and Holding will definitely make mistakes, im predicting an easy 2, 3 nil win for Liverpool.

We don't have to play either of them again in the run-in, Arsenal do. So, assuming you're not an Arsenal fan, why do you see them as a problem?

I don't think we'll drop points any points. The only 'concern' is the Arsenal game, but they'll be a lot more worried than City, that's for sure.

If we reach the CL and/or FA cup final, and it's mathematically impossible for us to win the league on the last day, Pep isn't likely to risk his main men against Brentford. That's the only situation I can see us dropping any other points.

If we win all our games up until Brentford, we will be at worst 2 points behind so title would still be up for grabs

That's going to be an interesting one if FA wants Arsenal's name on the trophy
 
Guys no need to get your heads in a twist. Leave that to the arsenal fans that I've seen about online shitting themselves and going over every possible permutations there are. Honestly the imposter syndrome they have is really something haha. We just take it a game at a time give every opponent the same consistent level of respect and attention and that's it.

We've clicked now and have found a great system that suits all of our key players and now we're playing the best football we have all season. Keep building on that and good things will come.

It's funny that these sorts of statistics would make me feel awful about our chances going to Anfield, but when it's a club we need to drop points I just assume that the Anfield form is an outlier and they're obviously going to regress to the mean.

Funnily enough, not bothered about those. We were shit, we got no more than we deserved. I can accept that.
No, the two games that are still preying on my mind (if we don't win this thing) are the rags away, and that disgusting non-goal that was given by a pure piece of PL chicanery in interpreting the laws — I continue to believe that we were still in a state of utter disbelief and outrage for their second, we shouldn't have been, but we were — and Forest away. Both matches we fully deserved to win. That's five points more than we have now. I shouldn't be harping on what's long gone, but it bothers me.

I'm holding onto the laws of natural justice that seemed to apply in 2018/19 and 2021/22 when scousers got every imaginable referee/VAR largesse yet we till triumphed. As Inter Me Nan would say, God willed it.
 
Another thing is that recently pep's seemingly installed the mantra into the players that if we lose one game then we're out. Basically, there can be absolutely no room for error on the player's part and everyone gotta be on their top level from here on out. Which is good because it creates that constant sense of jeopardy within the players. Almost like a "the floor is lava" kind of feeling and you cannot take your eyes off the ball.

If we do fuck up against the saints then we have no one else to blame but ourselves. Congratulate Arsenal and move onto next season.

Liverpool are shite, half that team ain't good enough & the better half have given up

Arsenal will beat them 1-3

City, Newcastle & Brighton is where they lose it, not shitty Liverpool imo

There was a game I wanted Liverpool to win this season. The game against United, which would've put them on 3 defeats in the first 3 games. Liverpool lost that and United and ETH were let off. If Chelsea could finish, that would've been Liverpool's 4th defeat in a row.
If Arsenal somehow freeze at Anfield after we've beaten Southampton, there is a chance of a draw, but I'm not going to put much hope on that.
 
I know Liverpool need points to get into Europe but they are 10 points off 4th with 10 games to go with 4 teams between them and that position. It is not looking good and is increasingly looking worst game by game. By taking points off Arsenal it may lessen the odds of getting there a little but at the end of the day it is helping us a lot more than them. Also, a season out of Europe’s premium competition is good for a rebuild as it allows a manager to clear a bit of deadwood and get back to basics. My point is how much do they really want to win?

Obviously I hope I’m wrong and they beat the gooners but I thought I would add this point to the discussion because no one else seems to be considering it.

I will state the obvious but we really must concentrate on our own affairs and let the footballing gods take care of the rest. Arsenal have demonstrated they are capable of challenging for the league and the next few weeks will see if they can drive the last few miles. Sunday is a major test for them regardless of the dippers current form and personally I see real possibilities of all three results. The bottom line is that we must win tomorrow and keep the pot boiling.
