Mikel Merino is the Lionel Messi of Scott McTomineys

Look-Up!

Could be a very good race from here on in. Arsenal with a bad injury list up front but grinding it out and finding goals somehow to keep pace. Liverpool in better shape squad wise and maintaining the gap but fans are jittery as they look far from invincible. 7 points is huge but at the same time could be blown away in a week.

 Impossible to call although there is a clear favourite. Wouldn't be surprised if both teams keep this pace but at the same time wouldn't be surprised if either lose the next three. Nice change from knowing City will win every game. Would be great to see both of them slip up for a bit of drama and Forest to enter the equation. As long as that wouldn't open the gap for City of course.

You wonder do city have a push in them especially with this new boy. There could be a run in them yet though they are a good bit behind. You would expect Real will finish them off and this will be all they have to concentrate on.

The most City can finish on is 83 points, Liverpool are currently on 60 with nearly double the goal difference, hard to see city winning all their games and Liverpool not getting 22 points in the last 13 games.

Liverpool's to lose, to be honest they'd have to absolutely capitulate not to win this one

Look-Up!

Arsenal's fortunes will depend on the form of a couple of youngsters. And as everyone knows you'll win nothing with kids.

I think Liverpool will hit a sticky patch but the teams chasing them will drop similar points. Might end up close but Liverpool with Salah have enough to get it done

It was Liverpool's to lose in early December and since then have showed no sign of a wobble and have been greatly helped by not having a serious challenger chasing or putting pressure on them.  Right now it's a case of how many games to spare they'll win the league title by.

I'd say you not me are triggered.

Some factual information for you to consume. When it was Liverpool's title to lose in early December Arsenal found themselves nine points behind and since then have dropped points against teams they were expected to beat in Fulham, Aston Villa,Brighton and Everton who was managed by Dyche. Tomorrow Liverpool will be 10 points clear of Arsenal any so called race is done.

Apols for getting who was triggered mixed up Captain, 😜 just to confirm now you've done your research, unbeaten in 15 yes?

Captain Obvious

@quit yo jibbajabba apology accepted.

Look-Up!

Liverpool nearly identical to this time last year bar the one extra win. Even goals scored and conceded nearly identical. They finished on 82 points. Draws killed momentum to keep with someone like City. But that might just be enough this year as someone pointed out. Would be cutting it fine I'd say though.

Next 3 are massive for Liverpool, a good return from this those games and the fools that gamble couldn't back against them.
I dunno though, I think there are plenty of twists and turns left yet though.
Man United lost an 8 points lead with only 5 games left.
All to play for imo.
Neutral.

Yeah I honestly think it's far from over and only one poster here saying otherwise whether he thinks it or not...
