Nah, game over

It is but in the last 2 games Liverpool have given up a shit load of chances. I'm confident we can go there and win

We mostly shit the bed at Anfield but I hope you are correct!

If we want to win the league, we have no option but to go there and win.

A draw will do, if we win our game in hand.

Mathematically. But, I think we have the more difficult fixtures. A bit of daylight would be nice.

Liverpool aren't the team they were between 2018-20 and I don't think they're as good as us or even Arsenal but they don't necessarily have to be in order to win the league. They only have to be better than the rest to have a chance. One thing they do have is 5 forwards who consistently get goals and that will see them win the majority of their games almost by default which could be enough if we slip up against some of the lesser teams.

Our match against them this time next month will be be one of the most highly anticipated games in a long time. I'd probably take a point now if offered but we may need to go there and win. I know we won there in 2021 but this is our last chance to win at Anfield under Klopp with fans in the stadium and I reckon it's something our players and especially Pep are desperate to tick off. It would feel a bit like closing a chapter on the rivalry.

Momentum building nicely, that's 6 league wins in a row now.

Our next 2 games are Chelsea and Brentford at home. We should be looking to pick up 6 points from those before our fixtures start to get a bit more difficult.

I'd include the game at Bournemouth too. Three wins to see out maximum points in February would be very nice ahead of the tougher fixtures.

 

[Alfie Budd]

Must be close to level with last year's comparative fixtures with a win here and at Brentford.

Anyone got the stats on that?

Spookily close.....

After 23 games:
2022-23 W16 D3 L4 F59 A23 Pts 51
2023-24 W16 D4 L3 F56 A25 Pts 52

At this stage of last season we were three points behind Arsenal having not yet played them - our win at the Emirates was the next game and took us top on goal difference.

Thats a huge assumption ..winning all our games! Virtually half a season to go!! We could lose there and still win it
