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 put this up on Boxing Day and as it stands if we win our next 7 games, mathematically nobody can catch us. That 7th game:
21/03/20 - Liverpool v Crystal Palace
The following game where potentially The Guard of Honour will occur before the game:
04/04/20 - Man City v Liverpool
