I don't think it's a foregone conclusion that Liverpool are out of it at all, I think people suggesting as much must have short memories. Far weirder things have happened. Especially when you look at the fixtures.
Arsenal's are tough - away at United, away at Spurs, tricky game with Everton on the final day who are awkward
Ours aren't easy either - away at Spurs, away at Brighton, away at Fulham - and crucially we have more to play
If you ask me, there's almost no way that more points aren't dropped. Nobody has shown the kind of machine-like consistency we've had in previous years. I wouldn't be surprised if we all drop more points, in fact I'm tempted to say it's odds on.
Liverpool's fixtures from here on are the easiest with Villa away looking like the best candidate for dropped points.
We need 13 pts + GD out of 18 to ensure Liverpool don't win it. Hardly a guarantee. Arsenal could bottle it even harder.
Yes, I would say we're now quite clear favourites, but we desperately need a couple of convincing wins v Brighton and Forest. If we come through those unscathed then it'll likely feel much more comfortable.
