So which is the easiest game, Chelsea in the FA Cup Final or Real Madrid in the Champions League? That's pretty much a no-brainer. Even though Chelsea need to ...
Win all five and they will definitely have three trophies, the fourth relies on City getting well beaten at West Ham or Wolves, or losing at home against Aston Villa. West Ham are in a good run of form at home and want to cement a Europa League place. It is not the easiest game to play, three days before a cup final and Leeds can play dirty. City need not even lose any remaining games for them to cede the title to Liverpool. Two draws and a win in those last three games will, if Liverpool win all their games, hand the title to Merseyside. A well-rested Liverpool have the pace to destroy an aged midfield and defence. Theyโre defensively weak having conceded 11 goals in the knockout rounds and they have relied on almost ludicrously unlikely performances in the second leg of each to get them through. If they need a winner with five minutes to go, Origi is the man to deliver it. The league is surely gone even if Liverpool win their remaining games, which is by no means inevitable when one is against Steven Gerrard and Aston Villa. Whatโs more, they likely accept that and have already turned their attention to winning the two finals. They have yet to resolve how to play Romelu Lukaku, or indeed whether to play the ยฃ100 million man at all. Even though Chelsea need to win something this season, Liverpool have not lost to the Blues this season and beat them in the League Cup final. All three games between the two sides have been drawn this season, so Chelsea will feel theyโre due a win after losing the League Cup 11-10 on penalties. City already have one hand on the title and easily overcame Newcastle on Sunday to put them three points ahead and with a better goal difference. They certainly looked a little fatigued mentally and physically against Spurs. They play a high-intensity running game which relies on high pressing, robbing the ball and breaking fast.
