LIVERPOOL seem to be cantering to the title after their destruction of Man City at the weekend, but for others it’s getting tense as battles rage throughout the league. MD27’s midweek fare promises to serve up thrills ‘n’ spills in equal measure. Opinions remain divided on who’ll shine as teams go to war.
With every point extra vital at this stage of the campaign, tensions run high, but who’ll hold their nerve or lose all sense of calm? Can Spurs build on their victory over Ipswich and make it four on the bounce against City? Speaking of bouncing, can Arsenal get the win at Forest? And who takes the glory as Liverpool host Newcastle?
