With Everon losing to Blacburn, we are still right in the race for fourth.
We should win our game in hand againt Blackburn which would cut the gap to 5 points.
Then the derby, well I can't see Everton beating us at Anfield, but they could get a point. I am confident of at leat a point for us and quite possibly 3. That would mean a 4 or 2 point gap depending on the result with 8 games left.
Liverpool Fixtures:
Bolton (H)- Win; Bolton are never easy to break down, but at home we should win bt the odd goal.
Man City (A) -Draw; Man City are about as unpredictable as we are, away from home i will say we'll get a point.
Tottenham (H)- Draw/Win; not sure on this, I think we will do enough to win it but spurs have enough qulaity to cause us problems, and could come away with a point IMO.
Pompey (A) - tough one to predict again Pompey are very strong at Fratton Park and could probably beat us, based onm our away from so far this is probably the hardest game we have other than Arsenal.
Crystal Palace (A) Draw/Win- could be fighting for their lives to stay in the PL, so again a tough game which Place will be up for. Our boys are gonna have to play really hard here as Palce will be very physical and tough to break down.
Middlesbrough (H) - Win; should be 3 ponts here after a couple of tough away games.
Arsenal (A) Draw; I think we have laways done well agiant Arsenal and are cpable of getting a point at Highbury as Arsenal will problay have little to play for.
Aston Villa (H) - Win; last game of the season. We outplayed Villa for most of the game at Villa Park and could only get a point, but at home with the crowd cheering the lads on in the last game of the season I think we will win quite comfortably.
So I am guessing we will get around 15 points from these 8 games, with some tough away fixtures, 4 wins, 3 draws and a loss sounds fair.
So if we beat Blackburn and Everton that would give us 64 points. If a draw agiant Everton 62 points.
Everton Fixtures
going into their last 8 games, they will either be on 52 pts (draw vs LFC) or 51 points IMO.
West Brom (A) - Draw
Palace (H) - Win
Arsenal (A) - Loss
Man Utd (H) - Draw/loss
Birmingham (H) - win
Fulham (A) - Draw
Newcastle (H) - Draw/loss
Bolton (A) - draw
around 11-12 points IMO giving thm something like 62 points.
So IMO I think if we win the derby we WILL fisih 4th provided we win our home game against Blackburn.
A draw in the derby, will be toss of the coin who finshes 4th with Everon slight favourites probably.
A loss in the derby is absolutlely unthinkable for us.
So as far as I am concerend it is far from over, but if we are going to finsih 4ht we need to win our home games and improve our dismal away form.
Last season it happenened with Newcastle, so why not again this season?
