The more I think about it... the more I think this is likely to happen.
We're unbeaten in nine league games (winning eight of them) and that has to come to an end at some point. This seven point gap will inevitably close and Liverpool would love to be able to contribute towards it. Plus, we were totally outplayed at Anfield (even against 10 men) and managed to grab all 3 points... our luck will probably run out on Sunday.
