Beat us and you've won it. Burnley could be a tough but also may be safe by the time of that game. Brighton likely won't have anything to play for final day either.
United's players are 100% going to try against City, that's not in doubt. They're not fans of United so they won't share this attitude among some that they'd do anything to impede Liverpool's title challenge. For them it will be a derby as any other, and a much needed chance to get three points. It's the game that should decide the title race really. Anything less than a win for City and Liverpool should be champions, whereas three points for us and there's three games that remain where we'll be heavy favourites. That said I still would not be surprised if one of us screws up. Whatever happens on Wednesday I'll be anticipating another twist in the race.
BS. Blackburn led for most of that game and you didn’t score your winner till injury time.You won that game despite yourselves.In the lead up to that game loads of Pool fans expressed the hope that their team would roll over.
Not to mention gerrards through ball for drogba for us.

Not sure how accurate this is, but some interesting stats if true. I always thought everyone but us in England wanted City to win the league.
33% Everton fans want Pool to win the title? That sounds ridiculous.
We won't mind too much if you score your winner in injury time tomorrow.
No idea - maybe it's a "it would be nice for my husband/dad who supports them" kind of thing or something like that.
I also doubt that 1 in 5 Utd fans would rather see United relegated than Liverpool win the league, that'd be stupid.
That's got to be a pisstake, 20%?!
I very much doubt the survey is methodologically sound, if there was one in the first place. To survey sufficiently many fans of all 20 PL clubs is not easy and cheap, provided that one is supposed to do it in a properly scientific way.
Like I said, I have no idea how accurate or representative it is
I doubt they just made it all up with different age categories and stuff, but I wouldn't take it for granted either, especially with the weird 20% and stuff. The ones who don't want us to win it (Chelsea, Soton, United, City, Everton) are obvious choices. I'd be surprised if Arsenal and Spurs fans would rather Liverpool than City though.Get in!
The hardest of the four remaining City games ticked off. Difficult to see them losing it from here but would still like Liverpool to drop points soon to make the run-in more comfortable.

City remaining fixtures:
Burnley (A)
Leicester (H)
Brighton (A)
Liverpool remaining fixtures:
Huddersfield (H)
Newcastle (A)
Wolves (H)
I'd argue Liverpool have the much easier fixtures and still have the upper hand. Huddersfield have a bitch complex towards Liverpool, Rafa will willingly get rogered by them and Wolves will be in holiday mode.
City have a difficult game against an in-form Burnley, a side managed by Brentan and a team in a relegation dogfight. You'd rather been in Liverpool's position. Hopefully they'll bottle it again.

Nah, surely you want to hear the commentators shouting Salahhhhhhhhhh in the last minute of the last game.
Had no idea that City had Burnley away and Leicester at home left. No easy fixtures at all. ffs.
At this point I don't believe City will drop points. They will win it, and probably rightfully so. We've been more consistent but worse on average. Good race though.
You will soon regret you cheered them up so much. With their squad quality (skill, age) there's a real chance they'll dominate the league for a few more years.

Sorry for late reply, been busy. But yeah you have been one of my fav posters on the Caf and you guessed right, I’d rather my left nut than United>City in any game, my hatred for United for that f**ing shit show just now has f**** gone up ten fold. I’m pissed off, yeah you lot are shit but f*** me!! In a home game? Fecking pitiful I’m just glad you lot hired that grinning Fergie puppet because you are facing many a dark days in the years to come, he was smiling half the time during the game. Not on, forget it I’m out. Good night.
11 wins in a row under intense pressure from us. Respect to Pep and City players. Picked themselves up quickly after the CL disappointment too.
Wouldn't say they deserve it yet. The season is 38 games long, not 35.

Absolute lies.
Give any team and any manager an option and every single one would choose City’s position. Three wins from winning a championship. They’re in charge of their own destiny. Liverpool are depending on favours and three wins of their own guarantees absolutely nothing.
City are in the box seat and they’ll be over the moon that they are.
There is no way on God's green earth that 36% of United fans want Liverpool to win the league.
Can’t see City or Liverpool dropping any points.
Pretty sure United are not finishing above 4th/5th next season either. Hard times ahead. City retaining hurts all of us. Feck me.
Doesn't matter much, though.
Fatigue might be an issue against Burnley but they're over the line if they get through that one IMO. They'll have time to prepare for the last two games, no problem.
I still think Liverpool will win it. They will win all their remaining fixtures, City I feel will drop points. All three of their fixtures are tough, they're looking tired, and they'll have players missing.
Congrats on winning the league mate. I gotta say, I thought we had done it but you lot were excellent even though you spent £4 Billlion on players.
No way is this title race yet done. Burnley away will be a really hard game and City are without KDB and may have injury doubts with Fernandiho and Gundo as well.
Tbh, I don't think either team deserves to lose or win. It's been two strong teams going at a crazy rate all season. It's likely someone will get accused of bottling it or whatever but the truth is, if we win it, it will have been with 14 straight league wins. If you win it, you'll have beaten the most expensive squad ever who averaged 98pts a season.
There has to be a loser but its hard to say one deserved to win. There is the Mahrez peno, the Kompany could have been red carded and a shit ton of other moments that will decide it. Mainly luck tbh.
They will fecking smash that lot. Title race is done, still 28 years goes on. You lot can take the piss. But at least we’ve still got next season
Aye, but you deserve it. Doesn't necessarily mean you'll win it but you're clearly the better football team.
They've leant far more heavily on luck/decisions and by being plucky. You're the superior outfit.
I think only thing saving city (seem to be tiring) right now is they have no CL and only have 1 game per week.
Don't feck this city.
Don't feck this city.
There is absolutely chance they "smash" Burnley. Even if they win, it's going to be hard fought. Burnley are in good form right nowThey will fecking smash that lot. Title race is done, still 28 years goes on. You lot can take the piss. But at least we’ve still got next season
Think there will be some hairy moments for City, perhaps late goals whereas Liverpool's opponents will all roll over for them. Rather be City though. I think they are about 70% likely to win it now.
Liverpool have 5 games now in 18 days.
City have 3 games in 18 days.
First time this season that City have less games.

What will city's midfield look like next game? Potentially no D Silva (if done for kung fu kick, doubt it), Fernandinho, Gundogan(?) and KdB.
Delph, B Silva, Stones?

Gundo completed most of the game so I think he'll be fit. Pep said they'll see about Fernandhinho tomorrow. I think it'll be the same as today with Sterling and the Silvas ahead of them. They need the break that's coming after the Sunday game. They look tired right now.
Klopp will surely rest his first choice attack for the second leg v Barcelona and I’d be very concerned if I was a Liverpool fan about Origi, Shaqiri, Lallana and Sturridge’s collective ability to get the job done in a must-win Premier League game. None of them have played much this season, for a start, and I’m certain they’ve never played together either. When their first choice XI relies heavily on luck to win games because their football isn’t very fluid, what on earth will they require when the stiffs are sent in?
You just know they'll have some sort of luck go their way like the Newcastle keeper chucking it into his goal in the 90th minute. I think Salah will come on and score on the counter in the 80th minute though. They'll win all their PL games.
