It's the final straight

The next 5 games will be extremely crucial.

We visit Old Trafford this Sunday followed by the most anticipated game of the season - against Everton in Anfield. Afterwhich, we play Arsenal in another league game before facing them for 2 legs of the Champions League Quarter finals. 3 games against the Gooners in a space of a week. Tough!

I cannot help but feel the excitement and, as such, I will cut short my F1 weekend in Sepang and make sure I make it back in time for the Man U game on Sunday. Can't miss it. We have been really unlucky against the Red Devils in recent years and I have a feeling it will all come to an end this Sunday. We will triumph! Believe it or not. Put your money on Liverpool to beat Man U!!

In our fight for the final Champions League spot, we need to beat Everton in the local derby come next week. That will build up a 6 points cushion provided we beat Man U on Sunday. It will be an emotinally charged game. As usual, Liverpool vs Everton is what I look forward to the most every season. Coming off a 7 game winning streak, confidence is high. Our win against Reading was crucial. That put the pressure back onto the Toffees but more importantly, it kept our winning streak going and that can only be positive.

Whatever happens, I can't wait. Let's bring on the big boys and let El Nino do the talking.
