Liverpool’s poor home record to cost them title?

Anfield was once a fortress for the Liverpool team. They often had trouble winning away from home but would build their English Premier League points with good form at home.

You just have to look at the form guide for Liverpool over the past twelve matches home and away. They have had four draws and two wins at home for a total of 10 points. This compares with three wins and three draws on the road. Manchester United on the other hand has had six wins from six at home in recent times and five wins and a draw away from Old Trafford.

The home form is probably what will cost Liverpool the EPL championship. After the weekend games where Man Utd got a 2-1 result against Blackburn and Liverpool drew 1-1 at Anfield, Manchester United are seven points clear at the top of the ladder.

The Red Devils have lost a good lead in the past however with the improved squad depth it is looking less likely that they will slip up after establishing a commanding lead at the top. Not only are Manchester United winning matches they are stopping most teams from scoring.

The goal on the weekend by Blackburn’s Roque Santa Cruz was the first goal in 1334 minutes of football against Manchester United.

Do you think the title is in the bag or can Aston Villa, Liverpool or Chelsea make a late charge to grab the title? Leave your comments below.
