    It's business end for everyone though! And that also means more stress.

    You can't really "pick" who they will drop points against. They lost against Newcastle, Leicester, Chelsea, and Crystal Palace. Those are teams at the top, middle and bottom of league.

    Realistically though United and Spurs probably are best chances. They still have to face CP and Leicester again, two teams that have beaten them once.

    That game away against Palace is sandwiched between 2 champions league fixture and shortly before Spurs.



    Don't get me wrong, I think City will win the title, because we're going to drop more points too... But not likely for City to go 14 in a row without losing or drawing.

    But how many of the games really matter to opposition and what was context of those losses?

    The point is city already need to draw 1 for us to win it. They would need to draw 2 in 8 min based on us just drawing one more.

    We need to be perfect

    Liverpool's league clash with Newcastle rescheduled

    Liverpool's Premier League fixture with Newcastle United has been rescheduled for a 4.30pm BST kick-off on Sunday May 5.
    The Reds’ penultimate match of the league season, at St. James’ Park, will be shown live by Sky Sports.
    The game could be moved again, subject to Champions League semi-final scheduling should Liverpool progress past FC Porto in the last eight.

    2 home games there.

    Chavs home
    Cardicks away
    Uddersfelt home
    Newkiebrown away
    Wolves home


    3 home games left. The next two have something riding on it yes for those teams but..... hopefully... the remaining 3 are straightforward on the beach or looking at fa cup final clubs.

    I'd rather wolves who will play 3 at back and play football and a 10 men back bruiser at the end.

    Yes Chelsea are a tough game but.... they have Europa and if the players are not up for it and away day at Anfield is perfect to just not turn up isn't it.

    Seriously Chelsea are in Europa final 100%

    They are not better than Southampton. Agree that they can be difficult. Chelsea worries me more because they have good record at Anfield.

    The way I see it now is that we play poorly but still pick up results against most teams because we simply have too much quality.

    We’re machine-like ...

    I expect us to do the same against Cardiff.

    Worth noting that City now have 7 games in 22 days. This is the start of their intense period. This is where the title is won or lost ...

    Not that I think it will happen but if it is to happen I think it will be something daft like Burnley or Brighton
    But as I have maintained for a while now I just do not see city dropping any points at all

    Those games are sandwiched in between CL games that are theoretically tougher than ours too

    City has a tough run of games. Make it through unscathed and title in the bag for them . I suspect they will drop points somewhere there though.

    Chelsea are going to put up a fight against us though and we could drop points there.


    Make it through Chelsea with 3 points I think we could just pip the title. City would still be favourites but it would look certainly more possible for us.

    Chelsea at home. Big big effort needed.

    Can't afford lesser effort or lesser players or missing chances.

    If we give our all it's the last huge hurdle

    From there we have better players than the other teams individually and will get chances
