I see at least a couple of more draws there.

City could drop points themselves though.

Tell that to Spurs

Unless City shit the bed, they'll win this now.

The draws are killing them. Let them finish with one defeat and a hatful of draws.

This, nine more draws will be great tbh.

It's basically win 9 games in a row from now on and youre champions.

Didnt they win 18 in a row last season or something mad.

And Liverpool WILL drop some pts so they probably wont need to win all 9.

Come on, you'd think people have seen enough of our title chases down the years that looking at fixtures and simply saying 'easy' or 'difficult' doesn't wash.

It depends on them. They look nervous now. That makes ANY fixture far more difficult than it needs to be. In the same way though fixtures can be easier if you're flying.

Leicester and West ham aren't tough on paper, but they dropped points because of the pressure and simply not playing well.

If they play their best, they will beat most of the teams most of the times, which is why their record before January was so impressive. The situation they find themselves in is affecting how they play and that affects every fixture they play.

2012. wigan and everton. enough said.

blackburn away in 2010 as well.

under that kind of pressure, especially for a club who could win their first league title in nearly 30 years, no fixture is "easy."

Don’t see many defeats in there. Their home form is pretty faultless as well

Whats their stats last 10 games Sparks???? Take a look at their stats from before & after the Chrimbo break. Theyve £#%&!ing tanked. They could'a been 9 points clear on Boxing Day. Theyre now a point behind City??

‘The Friendly Derby’

Let's not get carried away, one game at a time STILL

City play Watford at home before they play again.

Could be 4 points behind by the time their 'easy' home fixture against Burnley.

On paper, easy. Burnley have improved a lot since new year. They'll defend deep and you saw against us how hard they can be to break down. If Liverpool score early like they did against Watford then they'll be fine, but that could be a very nervous Anfield is Burnley could frustrate them for the first 20 minutes.

it'd be like calling us and city "the friendly rivalry" because a lot of families in manchester have both reds and blues among them.
