After our Europa League exit against Braga at Anfield, fears grew that we would be without European football next season as only a 5th place finish or above would guarantee it. However just 3 days later we beat Sunderland at the Stadium of Light and now European football seems possible once again. 5 points behind Spurs who have a game in hand, the situation is quiet different. The mood has lifted since and now we can even look forward and hope for a Champions League birth after Man City’s loss to Chelsea. With the Reds 8 points behind Man City, top 4 is still possible. Now lets look at the upcoming fixtures of the 3 teams:
Liverpool: Spurs Man City
West Brom vs Liverpool Wigan vs Spurs Man City vs Sunderland
Liverpool vs Man City Spurs vs Stoke Liverpool vs Man City
Arsenal vs Liverpool Man City vs Spurs Man City vs Spurs
Liverpool vs Birmingham Spurs vs Arsenal Blackburn vs Man City
Liverpool vs Newcastle Spurs vs West Brom Man City vs West Ham
Fulham vs Liverpool Chelsea vs Spurs Everton vs Man City
Liverpool vs Spurs Spurs vs Blackpool Man City vs Stoke
Villa vs Liverpool Liverpool vs Spurs Bolton vs Man City
———————– Spurs vs Birmingham —————————
From the above we can see that Liverpool will play both Spurs and City at home and if we could win both those games, chances would be quiet bright. Moreover Spurs and City have to play against each other as well so at least one team would drop points in that clash. Spurs also are still in the Champions League while Man City are alive in the FA Cup so we can hope that fatigue causes them problems.
Now all we have to do is to keep focused and not to drop points and hope for other results to go our way. Everything is possible so keep the faith! YNWA
