The Title Run In

     With the season drawing to a close, and the destination of the Premier League title looking certain to go to a North West team. It's all to play for at the top and with Liverpool needing a Manchester City slip up to be back in with a firm chance, some may say it's over, but remember 2013... Here's a guide to the factors that could decide the title race.

The SAS
When they're scoring they're deadly and Liverpool need goals if Man City are to get a draw out of their remaining fixtures because the Etihad club's goal difference is far superior. The Red's pair need to be firing on all cylinders when they face Newcastle at the weekend to put City under pressure. Suarez and Sturridge are also class at bringing other players into the game, Suarez's hold up play in particular is phenomenal. The SAS can win set pieces for Skrtel to attack and penalties for Gerrard to convert.

City's Injury list
Aguero being on it for tonight's game against Villa could be costly. Although injured throughout the season, the Argentine has been the source of many of City's goals this year along with midfield maestro Yaya Toure (go on sing if you want). If Villa are defeated tonight then the title race should be over, especially if Aguero is back for the game against West Ham. Big Yaya has also turned provider on a number of occasions this year, as well as the pair having title run in knowhow - remember...

Adrian
A surprise inclusion to the list is West Ham goalkeeper Adrian. In my opinion, West Ham are the team to beat City with their Spanish keeper playing a key role. A relative unknown at the start of the year, Adrian has caught the attention of many and been the Hammers' saviour many times. His long goal kicks could cause the Manchester City back four, with Andy Carroll being a bully in and around them.


Throughout the season, Liverpool have been helped massively by a lack of cup distraction while City have tremendous strength in depth. Both have world class players that I'm sure will grace the World Cup in the summer. But with Liverpool's recent form and the Citizen's run in, I think the title will be heading back to the Etihad. However, some guy once said: "It's a funny old game..."
