There are 18 games to go, and Liverpool are only 5 points behind City in 4th place.
It would be a brave man that writes them off at this stage of the season. The other teams lack experience regarding maintaining form for 38 matches, so it will be a very interesting 2nd half to the season.
Heck, we're only 15 points behind 4th place ourselves. A good run could spring us right up there, and Villaespecially went into melt down last year.

Then we have to make sure we finish RS off when we play them on 6th Feb.
But first we have to gain some points from the City game, I should look forward to see how RS do against Stoke!
If Hibbert was out for a months from December we would have seen Coleman a couple more time now, not much used of him injured now when Neville are back, unless
Moyes plays Neville as DM, which we know it's not going to happen.
Bet the line-up would be like this again:-
---------------- Howard ---------------------
--- Neville --- Neill --- Heitinga --- Baines ---
- Donovan --- Osman --- Fellaini --- Pienaar ---
----------------- Cahill -------------------
----------------- Saha -------------------
Think
Moyes would save Distin for Birmingham so he get another week rest and training under him, Coleman might have a chance at Birmingham, as Moyes might used Neville as DM in that game, we should see what happen then.
