" This is a huge game for Liverpool -If they are to catch the leaders and seriously enter the title race they need to beat Chelsea today. They come into this match in excellent form, having won three games in a row, but they will face a Chelsea team who have now gone ten games without a loss, and won a hard fought game at Portsmouth 2-0 midweek.

Liverpool boss rested key players in their last game, a 1-0 home win over Southampton, and there should be some fit and fresh faces in the starting lineup against Chelsea. Milan Baros will return to the starting line up, and together with Steven Gerrard in midfield, they should cause Chelsea whole host of problems. Chelsea have scored a bagful of goals away from home and they have scored twelve in their last four away trips. However, the Liverpool defence is much sturdier at his moment, and they concede less than a goal a game. At the moment, I feel that Milan Baros, Gerrard and Riise down the left can cause any team damage as they are really playing out of their skins. There is great value in Liverpool today, but I'm going on Liverpool +0.5 @ 1.82 at betfair [Free £20] - Portsmouth caused Chelsea alot of problems midweek, and it wasnt until the 79th minute that the Blues finally broke the deadlock. I think Liverpool, with Baros and Gerrard, should be able to get at the Chelsea back four, and with a healthy home record to back them up, the Reds can get a draw at least here today. Get On! "

City cannot rely on good away results like Villa all season and results like drawing at home versus Pompey, Newcastle and Sheff Utd means that there is big pressure on them to improve home form. I back them to crack under this pressure.

Boothroyd will also have Watford up for this, building on a hard fought point against Sheffiled Utd on Monday. It sounds like you're missing the point, I presume Francis was attempting to highlight how tight the division is after United and Chelsea. Considering that City have been slated by all and sundry this season, I think it's fair comment to point out that we're still only five points off third place - and only now are we coming into some kind of form.

I've said all along that City can finish in the top eight by virtue of the fact that the Premiership is so poor. Let me remind everyone that NEWCASTLE finished 7th last season. I've been saying all season that I've yet to see a better team than City outside the big four. In my opinion, Sheffield United are the best team to visit Eastlands this season (Arsenal aside, of course). Them and Portsmouth are the only two teams that were capable of stringing four or five passes together without giving it us back.
