KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum 20 games to go to our 1st ever PL Title!

Barring a miracle collapse or us being thrown out the league, it surely is now only a matter of time before we mathematically win our 1st ever Premier League Title.

Leicester are now 13 points behind and we have a game in hand on them.
Man City are 14 points behind and the rest are nowhere to be seen.
Liverpool would have to effectively lose 5 games out of those 20 remaining and City would have to win everyone of their remaining games.

Liverpool's schedule as it currently stands does not have what I would call a bad set of games between now and the end of the season. The only tricky period would be our last 3 games Arsenal away - Chelsea home - Newcastle away, although if we progress to the next stage (qtr finals) of CL we would play the 1st leg 3 or 4 days after the City game at The Etihaad.

Man City have a nightmare set of games starting up in February which I believe will put paid to them ever believing they could reel us in:

22/02/20 - PL - Leicester v Man City
26/02/20 - CL - Real Madrid v Man City
01/03/20 - Carabao Cup Final
01/03/20 - PL - Man City v Arsenal
07/03/20 - PL - Man Utd v Man City
14/03/20 - PL - Man City v Burnley
17/03/20 - PL - Man City v Real Madrid
21/03/20 - PL - Chelsea v Man City
04/04/20 - PL - Man City v Liverpool

If Man City beat Man Utd over the 2 legged semi-final of The Carabao Cup then their Arsenal fixture will have to be rearranged to the midweek immediately after The Final - probably to Wed 11/03/20.

I'm putting my neck out here and boldly predicting a win at home v Palace on 21/03/20 wraps up the title, mathematically.

Does anybody else want to guess when?

I predict we get The Guard of Honour at The Etihaad...how brilliant would that be?

Yep, provided VVD stays fit

When do we start singing we’re gonna win the league?

Around 21 march?

I´ll take each game as it comes. Keeping the Champagne cold though.

Dangerous talk this. Many pundits already have us as champions but it all adds up to a massive amount of egg on our faces if we let it slip. Let’s just take it one at a time and enjoy the ride. Nothing is won yet.

One defeat and they will say we are wobbling and can't take the pressure.

I will celebrate the PL win when we have mathematically won it, had 30 years of false dawns and times when we should have won it, being in a position where you should go on to win it but do not is something we have done before (Top of the PL at Xmas etc, though I do believe this team and manager is different).

Agree.
You know there are thousands just waiting for us to lose our first PL game this season. When it happens the pressure will start to step up on the 2nd and 3rd defeats. Nothing is won until we can't be caught. That is a long way off yet.

If we are 9 points clear with 2 games to go I will celebrate.

We've won 26/27 and we are immense. But until it's mathematically possible that we cannot lose the league I'm 'just enjoying the ride'
