Liverpool will win every remaining league game this season. It's all down to if City can do the same.

What achievements?
Saints will be harder than most think, but there's no way Rafa will make it hard for them.
Chelsea will destroy their title hopes once again.
Still put hope in Chelsea doing something at Anfield.
We need that, so we can go into the City game without any mixed feelings!
I wish I could share your optimism. When a team gets the kind of late goals and slices of luck in a season the way the scum are then it's pretty much nailed on they're going to win it. See our treble season for a similar situation.
City are sure to slip up between now and the end of the season against somebody. They have a mental fragility about them where they'll just get complacent or not turn up in a game and lose or draw. They've already done it a few times this season in defeats at Chelsea and Newcastle for example. And with so many games coming thick and fast for them, the likelihood of that happening is even greater.
Pickford, Speroni, Rico, Lloris...
To be fair, if Chelsea have as much luck as they had today for the rest of the season, it'll be a true battle of the lucky teams.
Let's not go overboard with the 'lucky' narrative. Liverpool have been fantastic this season. A fair few points have rather generously fallen into their lap but they're mentally very strong and that's partly why they are getting this luck, because they keep pressing, they never lose belief and when you combine that with serious talent then they're going to win most of their games deservedly and steal some games that they perhaps shouldn't have.
It’s insane how much stuff has gone their way this season, never seen anything like it in football.
The pen not given for Spurs in the first game between both teams, the pen not given for Watford, the pen not given for Lovren's foul against Aguero at Anfield, several offside goals, etc. You've been very lucky buddy.
Liverpool and City are worlds apart in terms of overall squad ability, it's not even close.
Luck has played a huge part in this title race. Your front three have miraculously evaded injury all season long, you've been gifted 10 points due to goalkeeping errors, you've had multiple decisions incorrectly go your way and you've won a hatful of games through late winners. Liverpool are a top four club, much like Spurs, United, Arsenal and Chelsea, and they should be battling it out with the rest of us for a top-four spot.

How can one club be so lucky for a whole season? It's insane.
Everything indicates that the FORCES are doing everything to get them to win the title.
Luck of the champions?
We dominated Spurs they were lucky to even pull one back. Watford we beat 3-0 anyway, City had a Pen they missed it. What about when we played them away and the ball was a couple of mm from going over the line guess that doesn't count because it's in our favour. You're never going to give us credit anyway like many other United fans regardless of how well we play or how many points we accumulate.
Or build them up to knock them down
Eight points gifted by opposing keepers this season. I wonder if RAWK's fair results table represents that? Or does that table only apply when Liverpool are far off the top?
Those ludicrous gifts seem a bit similar to all those own goals for United in 2008-09 think it was. Not sure how many directly led to winning points in what would have been a draw.

People in here are exaggerating way too much, but they have no doubt been lucky and should probably have 3-4 points less in a "normal" season. They should never be able to compete with this squad though, your team should be running away with the title 9/10 times even if your manager wasn't Pep. If Pool somehow managed to win the title against you lot, that'd be pretty much the perfect season for them (both overperforming and luck). I very much doubt they will be able replicate that challenge in the next 1 or 2 seasons.
Lloris, Pickford, Speroni, Rico. Must be a competition going on to see who can be the worst keeper v Liverpool
Media, Refs, FA etc: '' Poor Liverpool - they haven't won the league since 1990 so let's give them a helping hand or two.''
I'm not sure you dominated them in the 2nd half.
This has just appeared on the Guardian post match comments board…….why on earth do people think that some Pool fans are twats?
Our opponents were worthy, there was no dishonour in defeat, yet the sword of Kahless the Magnificent passes to the warriors in Red who spat upon the draw and saw only victory as a worthy ending. I do not kno ho will win this title battle, and neither do you, for its end chapter will be written by the feet of Robertson, Firmino and Salah. And all hail Klopp for returning us to our destiny, breathing life back into the body of Liverpool, for we were born to be the Team You Fear, and it is Fear we bring again, and again, and again. We are relentless. We are Legion. We are Champions either this year or the next.

Compare rawk with the caf with an open mind and you'd see a world of difference. Most posters on here are not delusional and point out facts. Remind me of title contenders in the last 20 years who have benefitted from numerous goalkeeping howlers? Examples?
In fairness, Liverpool have been quite unlucky to compete for the title with a machine for points like this City team. I can agree with that. But you are neck in neck partly because of luck, including injuries to key players for City. KDB is still struggling for form.
Who wrote that monstrosity, King Arthur?
Aye, directed by Guy Ritchie.
Thought it sounded familiar.
Tbf, this will probably be the first season where there will be two teams getting 90+ (or even 95+) points. Even without their luck, they'd be challenging for the title in every other year bar this one. It's just happened to be their misfortune (and United's fortune) that they're competing with one of, if not the strongest, squad in the PL's history with one of the best managers around. City will probably still win this and that could haunt them for years despite that.
I can’t believe that Liverpool midfield is going to win the prem. it will be one of the greatest managerial feats 
feck the luck, they aren’t getting any more gifts this season. I fully expect a series of draws for the next few weeks for our verminous friends.
Agreed. Except last season when City won 100 pts, they'd have been in a great position to win it every other PL season. Maybe not without the luck though. Chelsea won 95 pts one season and were a better team than this Liverpool imo.

Fergie won a title without a midfield whatsoever. Hard to beat that.
You are of course right, my bad, last season's city was also a juggernaut. They're probably one of the most consistent teams I have ever seen and I honestly think that with their style of football as well as their huge financial advantage over every other club, they're going to dominate the league for quite a long time...
Chelsea were the better team, I agree, as well as some of the past United teams for sure. But they'd have been challenging at least and also won quite a few with this current team. That'd be an absolute freak of a season for them to win it against this city team in this form though.

If City win 6 of the remaining 7 league games, they'd have won as many pts over two seasons as Guardiola's Barca 09-11. Insane, given no Messi, Iniesta and Xavi. Liverpool have easier fixtures on paper though. City's ambition to win the quadruple may well leave them only with the league cup in the end.
You're citing a goal that was correctly not given as it wasn't over the line as being a thing that went against you
You're really not that good. You are a solid side with two very dangerous forwards and world class CB that you bought for a record fee.
Even your keeper has gotten away with murder at times this season. He's messed up several times and either not been punished or got punished then bailed out by your front players... or the opposition keeper helping you out.
If you win the league then you deserve to be champions, but let's not pretend that the rub of the green has been freakishly in your favour this season.
It's not all about them being jammy hoofball cnuts like in the 2nd half today.
The front 3 are very dangerous & the tactics are fantastic - and I think I finally understand them too. You can't just sit off them like Spurs did first half, they make it very difficult for you to ever get out up the park. And you can't press them back assertively or they'll break on you or hoof it for Cheaty Mo & Mane to chase.
Their MF does feck all apart from create the structure of the game with their positioning, they don't play at all, really.

Yeah. Guardiola is probably the perfect league manager given the required funds and players. TBH you guys are fortunate to have this City side in the league when Liverpool is looking the strongest since decades and you are in one of the worst spells ever.
They'll win it now I'm almost certain. I can't see them dropping anymore points from now on till the end but I can definitely see City dropping points. Imagine if we draw against City in the derby and it ends up giving Liverpool the title while we lose a top 4 place. Nightmare scenario.
I don't think anyone argues that they are an excellent team, just that they are hardly a 90+ pts team. Think only 4 teams have won over 90 pts in the entire PL history. Even the Invincibles won "only" 90 pts.
