Next weekend could be pivotal, All of the top 3 have games in which they can drop points.
City host Southampton who are no mugs and Chelsea have a tough game at home to Stoke who are flying at the minute.
Stoke have only lost 1 of their last 10 (which was a tight 1-0 defeat away at City) and that run looks even more impressive when you consider they have beaten the likes of Arsenal, Manchester United, Villa (4-1 at Villa park) and drawn 2-2 with Southampton at St. Mary's recently. They have even won their last 3.
We play the following day against a West Ham side that's bound to have a fired up Andy Carroll playing up front.
Carroll I imagine would love nothing more than to get one over on the man that showed him the door at Anfield when he didn't want to go.
Sakho back in this one for me, hopefully we can cope with their long ball tactics and come away with another huge win.
City and Chelsea will be under huge pressure on the Saturday, both games are live on telly and any more dropped points might mean that they have to come here and win.
If a player accumulates ten cautions between the opening day of the playing season and the second Sunday of April in the same season, he will be suspended automatically for two matches. If a player accumulates fifteen cautions between the opening day of the playing season and the last day of the same season, he will be suspended automatically for three matches.

If it was up to me I'd take the chance and bench him for the West Ham game (surely we cam beat them without Gerrard ? ) as it guarantees his availability for the Man City game and if he manages manages to get through the Man City match (the second Sunday of April ) without picking up a card he'll basically be free and clear thru to the end of the season.

These are just the sort of games were Gerrard really does come into his own. His recent contributions in his new role have been invaluable and Lucas certainly could not replace him and be as effective. In fact nobody could.

I know where you're coming from Dev, I obviously hope I'm wrong but I've just got a horrible feeling he'll pick up a card against West Ham which means he'd miss the Man City game, and if there's any game we need him for it's that one.
