I think you'll win 2 of the 3 trophies, the league and the FA Cup. Does have a feel of 2018-19 about it for sure and I think the only game you may drop points is wolves but once you get on a run, you're very difficult to stop.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Cant see us beating you 2 games in a row unless we win the FA Cup tie on penalties.

On sundays game, the crowd will have to be patient. Liverpool will go at us and hopefully, we will hold them of then dominate possession, tire them out, and nick it at the end.

I actually think we need the win. A draw is an okay result but I just think we need the win just to give us breathing space. I also think if we beat your lot it gives us momentum for the remainder of April.

Sorry OP I just need to clarify one point you've made in your weird comment about Liverpool.

How on earth are you the underdog here?

I'm genuinely not nervous. There's nothing to be nervous about, even if we end up with nothing more than carabao cup then I'd be a bit disappointed but it's still infinitely more enjoyable than watching Paul Konchesky and Christian Poulsen play for Liverpool!

We've got a fantastic manager and team. So have City. If you can't enjoy this as a fan then what's the point.

It’s a funny situation. A close title race should have a sense of occasion and grandeur but because City and Liverpool are both 2nd tier clubs, it just doesn’t feel big.

Thinking back to those halcyon days of Arsenal-United, Utd-Chelsea and Arsenal-Chelsea in 2015, those title races had a ‘big fight’ feel. Each game was must-see TV. Now the interest level and ratings are so low.

Also those teams were loaded with big stars, whereas City and LFC are more workmanlike.

You used to be. 2018 CL Ties, and even in the last few league campaigns. Now its even hence the pressure of expectation is starting to show.

The fear of failure if I can put it differently

There's no failure here. Our season has been amazing, even if we don't win the competitions we remain in.

To even be toe to toe with a club that can blow us out the water in the transfer market is an achievement in itself. No other club has been able to compete even closely with City domestically.

City are a phenomenal team, with a phenomenal coach and a club that knows what its doing just as well as ours does.

If you beat us on Sunday and the following weekend, I'll raise my hat to you but it's not failure.

Tire Liverpool out? Don't be ridiculous. You'll have to beat us by sheer quality, it won't be down to something like tiredness.

I make Liverpool slight favourites.

There isn't that much to separate you. You're both ultra-winning teams, but I think Liverpool are slightly more resilient in high pressure situations and in better form too.
