Default Who Will Win The Premier League?

Who do you think will win it?

I'm so nervous and we still have 5 more games! I personally can't see us winning it. I just think we will end up blowing it (probably against a smaller team like Crystal Palace) but I just don't see us doing it. I know we play City on Sunday which I will be going too and cannot wait for, and if we win that then people will start saying that it is ours, but we still have Chelsea to play and they are still in with a very good shout.

I can just see us blowing it against a smaller team, though. Fulham, Sunderland and West Ham have all been close games and they are games we should be putting out of sight in the first half with how we've demolished some big sides. I know it doesn't work that way, though. Some games like that prove that we have the desire to keep going. It's just typical Liverpool to blow it against someone we should beat.

Man City have a very good chance, of course. IF they beat us on Sunday, then I do think it is their title. They have two games in hand as it is so that would be a huge advantage for them.

Chelsea, like I said are in with a shout. Certainly cannot rule them out as much as you could with us. One loss and it is wide open for another team.

I do think it has been the best season for the Prem, though. Not just because of how well we have been doing, but just because of how some of the games have panned out. Huge shockers from the start (City losing to Cardiff) to now (Man Utd's position). Every weekend has something different and that's how it should be.

Everton have looked so strong from the start. If it wasn't for injuries, they would have Europe tied up by now, easily. They looked the team to beat until we demolished them at Anfield. They really did look unstoppable. Will be interesting to see what happens with their loan signings as they have really helped them this year. I seen something earlier saying they would be 8th if it wasn't for their loanees so they really need to get them snapped up. Especially Lukaku. If they get Europe and get the bonus, Lukaku should be the first person they go in for. They still have money from the Fellaini sale if I'm not mistaken.

So surprised with Man Utd this season. I had a feeling they would drop, but certainly not like this. I still can't put my finger on what it is. Is it Moyes as a manager? Is it poor squad morale? Is it because the squad is ageing? Is it all of them things? I really don't know. I think it could be all of these things. The rift between him and Rooney before he was in charge probably put a downer on a few players as I'm sure Rooney wasn't quiet about it. Signing Fellaini for almost £30m was a huge mistake. The man is definitely not worth it. He was just about living up to his £15m price tag that Everton paid for him. It will be very interesting to see how they do after 5 or 6 games next season because if they lose say 2 and draw another 1 or 2, that will be a poor start for any team, let alone Man Utd. Will be very interesting.

Just hope we win on Sunday. I know that we have another 'gathering' to greet the players as they turn up and what not, so hopefully the stadium is in full swing like it was at Spurs. Never been to a game like this before. Closest one I probably went too is last season in Europa League when we got knocked out by Zenit at home. That had a great atmosphere but I'm sure this will be 10x louder and more important.

I've said Liverpool will win it since January. They are playing stunning attacking football and even though their defence can be leaky they just have a "You score one, we'll score one more" attitude which is always refreshing to see. Rodgers has got something very exciting happening at Liverpool and I don't think it's just a good run. It still is Man City's to lose but I reckon they'll drop points in the run in.

Man Utd's decline has been great. I've waited so many years to see the smug smiles wiped off their glory supporting fanbase. I think the problem is with Moyes. What has he ever won? he was successful at grinding out results at Everton, he won nothing with them. Now look what Martinez is doing there. Moyes simply isn't a winner and Man Utd need a very strong charismatic leader. If he went to any other club he would have been sacked by now but Man Utd seem to be sticking with him to save face. I say he'll be gone by next Christmas.

Yeah, that's the determination I'm loving. When we were getting beat by Cardiff, I didn't panic because I had a strong feeling we would get a couple. We ended up getting 5.

True about Moyes but I felt the same with Rodgers. Although, Liverpool hadn't just won the Prem when Rodgers took over so I can 100% see what you mean. It's what I said myself. Moyes did well with the 'little' money he had at Everton (I do think they have more than they say, personally) but Man Utd are a team that NEED to spend. Whether it be £20m a season, they need that to go on a big player. They will always be linked with big players and that is something that Everton (no disrespect to them) haven't been.

Nerves are kicking in more and more.

I think everyone knows deep down that the really big news is Burnley's imminent return to the Premier League...

As a Villa fan living in the city of Liverpool - working with a lot of Liverpool fans, having a lot of friends that are Liverpool fans I can honestly say the expectation is still low! Fact is that Rodgers should be manager of the season. He's done a cracking job this season. His best signing by far is signing Suarez to a new contract. It seems that his man management is just bringing out the best in the players. Who would have thought Jordan Henderson would be the unsung hero of this season?

I think City will win it with Liverpool finishing 2nd. At the start of the season you would have snapped my hands off to finish 2nd, but to have Champions League football at Anfield again is fantastic. I saw a few Champions League games the season Liverpool got to the final in 2007. I really want Liverpool to win it though. I just think it will be incredible for the city and the atmosphere in town will be unreal.

Ah I think we'll surprise a few people

Bit like this in our win over Man Utd last time we were in the Premiership four years ago

As an Arsenal Fan, I desperately want Liverpool to win it. I just prefer them over Chelsea & ManCity

I went to the game today and that atmosphere was simply something else. I got to the ground about 11.30 to be with the fans outside to greet the team when they come in on the bus. I thought that it would be a few thousand fans but it was literally the whole stadium waiting outside for them. Was unbelievable.

Got into the stadium about 12:15 and had such a buzz as soon as I got in. Wasn't many people in their but to see so many flags being brought in and everything else just gave me a buzz.

From kick off we absolutely bossed it. Had so much control and our fans didn't stop singing. Deafening in all honesty. Never heard anything like it and it was just like the old Liverpool. Fantastic to go in 2 goals up and we fully deserved it. We could have been 4 or 5 up if it wasn't for poor finishing (mainly from Coutinho) and then a great save from Hart when Gerrard had the header.

At half time I was saying to an arl fella who was sat next to me that we need to get a third because if they score one, it is wide open and they are back in it. I was right. They got one and they were back in it. We looked pretty poor until they went to 2-2 and then we stepped it back up a bit. Coutinho was simply brilliant. His tackling for such a small guy was faultless. Didn't stop running.

When it was 2-2, I had a feeling we would get another. My girlfriend predicted 3-2 and I said 3-3 before kick off. I just had a feeling we would get a third. Thankfully we did and even though his finishing was poor in the first half, that was a fantastic finish from Coutinho. Didn't even look at the goal, just hit it first time bottom corner. Superb. Celebrations just blew me away.

Sterling is just class. Watched him from the u18's/u21's and loved him then. For his age, he makes such good runs and has a lot of confidence on the ball. I wish he would shoot more as we have a lot of openings for him to do that but he decides not too.

Gerrard's passion speaks for itself. The way he was crying at the end and that talk he gave in the huddle just proves how much he wants this. He hasn't got long left and knows that this could be his last chance because anything can happen next season or the season after that. We deserve to win it and he knows it.

Bit gutted with the Chelsea result as a loss or a draw would have been brilliant. Just hope we beat Norwich now and take it to Anfield against Chelsea. We really need to keep it up. Didn't expect us to be in this position at all.
