Some cracking results down the bottom as well. Suddenly everything is wide open again.

Goal difference is very close as well.
Perhaps the season in the Prem will be interesting after all-every pundit (bar J Redknapp if you can call him a pundit) had City crowned as champions a couple of weeks ago.

City still favourites but great that Liverpool are competing on 4 fronts.

That could be the Achilles heel for Liverpool, though.
I don't think their squad has the same depth as City

That might have been the case last season but with Diaz, Konate and Elliot available plus less injured players I really don't think there is much in it now between the two squads.

I'd be getting a bit nervous as an Everton fan. They still have to go to Arsenal, Liverpool, West Ham and Spurs, and welcome Chelsea, City, United and Wolves to Goodison Park. All of the top 8 still to play.

Would be hilarious if Everton went down. They obviously have the "too big to go down" vibe, but that's my only reasoning for them staying up.

^ very much my thinking too.

Already sacked one manager and now onto a fairly inexperienced manager. Has the feel of of a relegation season

Worth adding that Newcastle's current form is a boost for them, but that to an extent they do need to get it done now - in their last four they play Liverpool, City and Arsenal, before a final-day trip to Burnley that might even be a relegation decider.

Can see Newcastle pulling well clear, they have looked pretty solid in their last few games.

Can't see past the current bottom 3 staying as it is tbh.

Not sure - there’s usually one surprise somewhere

I’d tip Leeds to drop - shades of our first season with how well they did, a poor summer with not enough recruitment and a poor second season

Game against Norwich could be a big one mid March - couple of tough games in between

Also think Brentford may be in trouble - momentum got them through the first couple of months of the season well but been off it ever since. Every year, people including myself wait for the inevitable drop for Burnley but they always seem to get out of it somehow

Spectacular first couple too, first is an acrobatic volley, the second just hits her in the face. Technically a 'perfect' hat-trick.

The third was a school ground mis-kick too :lol:

Poor girl getting subbed straight off though :cry:

//Hadn't noticed it was a perfect hattrick :)

Surely this can’t be right? Lukaku with just 7 touches in 90 minutes, including the touch from kick off

Turning out to be a poor signing

Leeds definitely look like they may be in trouble.

Yep, 3 clubs beneath them all within 3 pts, all with games in hand, all with better goal differences. Leeds are shipping goals left, right and centre. Burnley unbeaten for a month Newcastle unbeaten in the league since before Christmas.

Even if Leeds do go down, they'll stay up in our hearts. What a breath of fresh air they've been, with their regular heavy defeats.

They are in very big trouble.

They cannot defend at all and today could be a cricket score (obviously all out for 4 if it’s England)
