Looking forward to Christmas and beyond

The Carling Cup match with Arsenal was postponed due to heavy fog the other night. This would mean the rescheduled match will be played a few days after the FA Cup match with the Gunners. Playing Arsenal twice in a week at Anfield will definitely prove devastating for the Gunners when they get kicked out of both cups in the same week by the same team. I certainly look forward to it. :)

Let's talk about the Christmas fixtures. We have Watford at home, then a trip to Ewood Park, host Bolton at Anfield and finish up our festive matches with a tricky trip to White Hart Lane. From what I see, all four matches are definitely winnable. I would pray and hope by the end of these four matches, we would close the gap with the top two to a single digit margin. Let's have a look at what's in store for the big 4 this festive season.

Liverpool

vs Watford (H) - WIN
vs Blackburn (A) - WIN
vs Bolton (H) - WIN
vs Tottenham (A) - WIN

Chelsea

vs Wigan (A) - WIN
vs Reading (H) - WIN
vs Fulham (H) - WIN
vs Aston Villa (A) - LOSE

Man Utd

vs Aston Villa (A) - LOSE
vs Wigan (H) - WIN
vs Reading (H) - DRAW
vs Newcastle (A) - LOSE

Arsenal

vs Blackburn (H) - DRAW
vs Watford (A) - WIN
vs Sheff Utf (A) - WIN
vs Charlton (H) - WIN

At the end of this festive period, if my predictions prove correct. Here will how the table look like.

Chelsea 51 pts
Man Utd 48 pts
Liverpool 43 pts
Arsenal 41 pts

If this would be the case, I am sure that it will still be an exciting 4 horse race to the title. I truly believe Liverpool can do it. You'll Never Walk Alone. Let the Kop inspire the Reds to success.
