My prediction, iv not included Villa as i think their fixture congestion with catch up with them:

SPURS
Stoke (a) 1pt, Portsmouth (h) 3pt, Sunderland (a) 1pt, Arsenal (h) 0pt, Chelsea (h) 0pt, Man Utd (a) 0pt, Bolton (h) 3pt, Burnley (a) 3pt & Man City (a) 0pt.
Remaining fixtures: 11 points, Total: 63 points

MAN CITY
Fulham (a) 0pt, Everton (h) 1pt, Wigan (h) 3pt, Burnley (a) 3pt, Birmingham 1pt (h), Man Utd (h) 1pt, Arsenal (a) 0pt, Aston Villa (h) 1pt, West Ham (a) 1pt, Spurs (h) 3pt
Remaining fixtures: 14 points, Total: 64 points


LIVERPOOL
Portsmouth (h) 3pt, Man Utd (a) 0pt, Sunderland (h) 3pt, Birmingham (a) 1pt,
Fulham (h) 3pt, West Ham (h) 3pt, Burnley (a) 3pt, Chelsea (h) 1pt, Hull (a) 3pt
Remaining fixtures: 20 points, Total: 68 points

Realistic but heavily weighed in our favour. Spurs could easily beat Sunderland away and pick up something against the big three. No foregone conclusion they'd lose at Eastlands either. Obviously all your predictions could be called realistic in their own right, all of them coming off is slightly optimistic.

Same with City away at fulham & WHU and home to everton, villa & brum. They could easily beat United at home and get something from arsenal.

Similarly, our away record worries me about Burnley and Hull away.

Just my opinion though.

Looking at our rivals fixtures i reckon if we get 6 wins out of our last 9 matches then 4th place is ours.

I reckon we'll need 21 points. So 7 wins basically. And given that we have 4 away games, i cant see it.

Maybe a bit more than that I think. Our fixture list is very kind, even the tough games arent exactly scary, Vidic is back for Utd which is great and won the last 3 v them, Birmingham have gone off the boil and Chelsea at Anfield with a crazy crowd I'd back us to beat, they arent anything special.

The other teams we play are garbage, sadly I cant see us going from a team that cant score at places like Blackburn, Wolves and Portsmouth to suddenly winning nearly every league game left.

I think to write Villa off is a bit premature. They have got more than a chance to end up above us.

As for the points you have given Man City I think you have been a tad unfair to them, probably guided by your love of LFC. I reckon they will get 3pts at home to Everton and Birmingham. I also think they will get a point against Fulham and 3 against West Ham.

I more or less agree with your Spurs predictions although I could see them getting all 3 against Sunderland and possibly getting a draw against either the Chavs or the Arse. You are quite right that they will hand all 3 to Manure though.
