If it was prime Man City chasing down Liverpool it would be far from over. I think Liverpool will stumble plenty before its all over but so will Arsenal.

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.

Liverpool will drop at least a couple of points in the next week. But even assuming they maintain a five or six point lead going into May, Arsenal would arrive at Anfield knowing that a win for them could reduce the margin to 2-3 points. Win that, and the frantic nervousness witnessed at Anfield on Sunday wouldn't be a patch on what will follow!

And all the while that Liverpool are dropping points, we're assuming arsenal will get maximum points?  Both teams will drop points between now and the end of the season.  It's far from over though

Exactly.  Arsenal probably aren't going to win all their games.  If they do, fair play!
That's just, like your opinion man.

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 kind of agree, they've been excellent and more than good enough to win this one which is the only one that matters presently

If it was prime City Liverpool wouldn't be winning this league I feel. As good as they've been.

But they've been this good before and better and not won the league.

Arsenal win their game in hand and it's down to 4 points. Still all to play for. Could all come down to the game between the 2. Decent chance Liverpool don't win at city as well.

Match in hand for Arsenal will be against Chelsea in mid March. The gap is currently 8 points and remains to be seen what the gap will be by then.  Game between the two will be in Anfield and Arsenal haven't won in Anfield for 13 years.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Sorry not sure why I had in my head it was 7 points at the minute. I'd say Arsenal would like to have that game in hand against Chelsea now while they're in bad form.

If City get something at the weekend it will leave it a lot more interesting. Liverpool obviously firm favourites at this stage but it's far from over.

That's comparisons at this stage last year. Nearly identical. Both teams from a defensive point of view with less losses but goals are a problem for the gunners and draws have them lagging a bit.
There was a 12 point swing in their fortunes (9 if you count game in hand) to the end of the season with Arteta's men only losing and drawing the one time. Draws killed Liverpool only winning half their games.
 I don't think Arsenal can go on the same type of run this time but they do need to up their pace to get into the low 80s and push it to the wire. Where will the goals come from is the big question?

It's like ya don't want to win the league with the amount of negative posts, If and I highly doubt it, if Liverpool collapse from this point I'd be surprised

Anytime in the recent past that Liverpool have been involved in a title race they have come up second best(last year faded away from a similar position.)  The only time they won the league in recent times it was a one horse race, so the anxiety/nervousness among supporters is understandable.

Who is "Ya" and what exactly are you talking about negative posts? Absolutely no idea what that's about.

Last year was last year, different manager and playing style, Liverpool have been full value this year and losing one game is testament to their form all season, be different if they had a proper blip but when they have dipped they have bounced back and with the form Salah is in they could concede but still have enough to go up the pitch and get back in front..

Arsenal are no where near the team they were last year and missing through injury one of their better players

Its inconceivable that the league is going anywhere but Anfield (hopefully the staff get a bonus as my daughter works there match days)

I'd say though the Champions League is going to be up for grabs, I had Liverpool as slight favourites but the form of Madrid and even PSG lately has me swayed

PSG will have the luxury of resting players in the league with them being 10 points clear also.
