arsenal will be tough even if it is at anfield but i reckon we should be good for a point at least.
ill shoot for 13 points this round, manage to get that and we might have a little cushion established in 4th

Without knowing what the next five games holds for our main rivals, I think 11-13 points would be excellent and certainly give us a great tilt at the top four

this could be 5 of the most important games this season. The results could define where we finish. I think the League table top 4 as it was on Sunday will be as it is on the last day.

Man City
Chelsea
Arsnail
LFC

the villa and fulham games are the only ones where i would be shocked if we don't win. both of them are absolute pants this season. the west brom game will be tricky but its winnable. arsenal are a really good team and will come confident in their ability to win. i think we'll give them a good game though, and could nick it. the derby as always is anyone's guess. the kid barkley has been one of their main driving forces this season and he won't be playing, while our SAS will be well bedded in by then. on the other hand if we don't get our defense to get its shít together then lukaku and mirallas will cause no end of problems.

i'm guessing at 10 points but i think we're capable of more.

I saw the Villa vs Arsenal game last night and the home team simply owned Arsenal in the second half, who were reduced to counter attacks. Benteke and Bacuna were instrumental.

every team in the league is capable of a good half of football once in a while. but their league position is an accurate reflection of how pants they are overall.

Arsenal and Everton will be big tests for our defence.

I think we'll pick up 10 or 11 points from the 15 available, anything more would be brilliant .

Hang me out to dry. I'm going for 15 points.

I hate to say it, but it looks like 13 points are needed to keep pace with the leaders.

And that is a problem why? Have a bit of faith. We were very unlucky against Man City and Chelsea without Stevie and Danny. I'll be disappointed if we only get 13 points 

13 we are contenders for the title.  11 we are battling for top 4.  We can do this Reds.  We can do this.

The Everton game could be quite tricky, under moyes they were usually a bit conservative away from home (especially when they played a top side) but under Martinez they go out to win no matter who or where they are playing.
They were very impressive against arsenal at the emirates and they beat united at old Trafford so they'll be coming here to take the game to us.

Regardless of who we face we should always be viewing home games as winnable. I make no exception in Arsenal or Everton.

I wholeheartedly agree, but they won't be cakewalks by any means. If Gerard and Lucas are paired up in CM I actually think we'll struggle big time myself, I'm hoping Allen is back and at least one more new face is brought in by then though.

WBA will be tricky and obviously Arsenal and Everton, but as SCS said, we should be favorites in all home games.

We played most of the derbies away this season and that's where the difference was made, but if we can win those points back when we play at Anfield then I'm sure that we'll even be able to have a go for the title.

Realistically though, I'd be happy with at least 10 points.
