Not overly.worried about that, expect a draw at the least.
Wolves and West ham worry me more, though we should win both easily they are the types of teams that will frustrate us.

We scraped past Everton and Arsenal
The simple reality is Pool have better strikers and don't need 20 shots at goal to score and play at a much higher tempo.
The game in April against them will be decisive and without Dias I fear the worst, we know our centre backs can be caught out, Pool strikers will convert these
Finally I t think teams play against City differently than they do against Liverpool
Ultimately we will lose this because we don't have a recognised striker

Still think we'll do it but no room for any mistakes from here on in, Liverpool won't drop many ( if any) points apart from the game against us

Can see us dropping points in other gamesIt is down to the home game with the Bus Wreckers.

I don't think that's correct mate. Didn't we at one point have a 8 point lead even accounting for their games in hand? I think we did.We had an 8-12 point gap, but never had one tbf, liverpool had 4 games in hand at one point and were always too good a team not to points from them.
don't get some fans were in a great position with 9 games to go all the other team would swap with usThank you mate for posting a bit of common sense and mild optimism amid an avalanche of knicker wetting flappery
We’re the favourites and rightly so. They would love to be one point clear and due to play us at Anfield. 9 games to go and City are top of the league - you couldn’t ask for anymore than that

I have said on many occasions serious question marks hang over Peps record in Europe since he left Barcelona. You might say it is bad luck in a very difficult competition but you might on the other hand say it is down to poor decision making.For me that's rubbish. Easy to highlight the odd game (not saying I dont agree he messed up in certain games) but look at the big games he's won with his in game tactics as you put it.
In our current situation and squad, would you swap pep for any other manager?
Alternatively his league record has been sensational both here and in Germany and that of course includes many big game victories. You don't have to be a footballing Guru to conclude that the lack of a replacement for Kun would hurt us this season. Some people reached the conclusion it would be more important than others and that continues to be the case. While the squandering of a relatively big lead is of serious concern, in many respects the season starts now.
We are still in all the major competitions and are far from resembling a team in freefall, but rather more a side which may have something left in the tank. It's all down to April and May now and the pendulum may just swing back in our favour.
Keep the faith it was hard won.
Someone please go find out what’s the longest winning run scousers have gone on in the Premier League … not unbeaten run, not an Anfield run but one that includes back to back to back wins only … and then figure out how many league games on the trot (including current run) they need to win to win this title?
Then calm down … we’re winning this league, not them!

I still believe but I agree that Liverpool have more clinical/efficient forward players. They're the same as us in that they have zero strikers but with the exception of Mahrez, I just think they're more clinical.
Liverpool have had one game where they haven't scored, we've had four.
I fancy us to beat them at home, but I believe we may struggle at Wolves/West Ham with low blocks.
