What really strikes me is that we have beaten par 5 times and dropped points to par only 3 times.

City have also beaten par 5 times but have dropped points to par 5 times.

They have to beat par two more times than us in the remaining games (on the big assumption that we win all of it remaining games) in order to overtake us.



Of the 3 we've dropped to par ... two were against City (h & a) and the other was Leicester at home.

City have dropped to par against Wolves (a), Chelsea (a), Palace (h), Leicester (a) and Newcastle (a)

Current APLT numbers:

Liverpool: 5
City: 2
Spurs: -12
Arsenal: -13
United: -13
Chelsea: -15

Matchday 33/34

Liverpool: 5 Chelsea (H) Par 3 (Win 5, Draw 3, Lose 2)
City: 2 Palace (A) Par 1 (Win 4, Draw 2, Lose 1)
Spurs: -12 Huddersfield (H) Par 3 (Win -12, Draw -14, Lose -15)
Arsenal: -13 Watford (A)  Par 3  (Win -13, Draw -15, Lose -16)
United: -13 West Ham (H) Par 3  (Win -13, Draw -15, Lose -16)
Chelsea: -15 Liverpool (A) Par 1 (Win -13, Draw -15, Lose -16)

The reds with by far their hardest game remaining against a somewhat resurgent Chelsea at Anfield. A win here would likely make us favourites for the run in regardless of City's result at Palace. City have a tough away game against Palace who have done a number on them in the past. However, it is still a game you'd expect City to win. Spurs and United have what should be run-of-the-mill home games for a top 4 chasing side although dropping points wouldn't be fatal for either on the APLT. Arsenal have a tricky par 3 which could see them drop down to 6th in the APLT if they don't get a win. Chelsea can get in to the top 4 both on the APLT and be in a strong position in the real table with a result at Anfield.
The reds are coming up the hill boys.

We don't have a great recent record against Chelsea at Anfield. We haven't beaten them at home for very nearly 7 years.

Date          Score   Result
26/09/18   1 : 2   L
25/11/17   1 : 1   D
31/01/17   1 : 1   D
11/05/16   1 : 1   D
20/01/15   1 : 1   D
08/11/14   1 : 2   L
27/04/14   0 : 2   L
21/04/13   2 : 2   D
08/05/12   4 : 1   W
05/05/12   1 : 2   L
07/11/10   2 : 0   W
02/05/10   0 : 2   L
08/04/09   1 : 3   L
01/02/09   2 : 0   W
22/04/08   1 : 1   D

Maybe we're due a change?

Sorry guys, been a bit sparse with these recently but here's the latest update, I haven't included one of the graphs because frankly it's a nightmare to read, these should be good enough though.

RAPLT Week 34

Where's that squeaking noise coming from?
3 midfielders minimum in the next window. And probably another young CB to boot.

If City win at Old Trafford they would go up to +6 wouldn't they? Assuming that's their last par 1?

Ah, okay. So should we both win all our games we'd end up on +8 and +7.

You're right, looking at the formulas, it was referencing the 3 games prior to week 34 and not the 3 games including week 34. I suspect the formulas may also have affected some of the other rows as well so I copied and dragged the amended formula for all teams. Here's the amended one.


Good spot Mick.

I think the relegation model is quite decent still. If either of the two need fixing it'd the title-winning one! Do we think all 6 teams finish above the 71 points line?

Even if they do, it's a one season anomaly. No need to change it until it is shown to fail consistently, just my 2c

Cardiff have some raised hope by beating Brighton. Let's hope they're not too enthusiastic when we visit them. Looking at their position on the ALTP they are well fooked - they play us and United.

Current APLT numbers:

Liverpool: 5
City: 4
Spurs: -12
Arsenal: -13
United: -13
Chelsea: -16

Matchday 35

Liverpool: 5 Cardiff (A) Par 3 (Win 5, Draw 3, Lose 2)
City: 4 Spurs (H) Par 4 (Win 4, Draw 2, Lose 1)
Spurs: -12 City (A) Par 1 (Win -10, Draw -12, Lose -13)
Arsenal: -13 Palace (H)  Par 3  (Win -13, Draw -15, Lose -16)
United: -13 Everton (A) Par 1 (Win -11, Draw -13, Lose -14)
Chelsea: -16 Burnley (H) Par 3 (Win -16, Draw -18, Lose -19)

Liverpool go to Cardiff knowing a win will keep them top of the real table and the APLT. Whereas City host Spurs knowing that anything but a win might leave them second until the end of the season. Spurs go to City with something of a free hit, a loss still keeping them at least joint 3rd on the APLT. Any other result will keep Spurs a comfortable 3rd with room to spare for any possible CL fixtures. Arsenal has a home game against Palace which you'd expect a team with their home record to see through and cement their top 4 standing. United have a tough away trip to Everton which they need points from in order to keep the pressure on Arsenal. A win will see them overtake Arsenal on the APLT and jump to 3rd. Chelsea must beat Burnley at home or they are all but out of the top 4 race.

at this stage of the season and with the breakaway the two of us have had, it is just binary. The plus and minus value of games barely exists at this stage, in an unusual way, like rarely happens in our league. This probably happened some time in February.

Remaining fixtures for us and Man City


Just a reminder... Man City should win tomorrow.  There's a reason these are par three fixtures.  The two subsequent games are their two chances to gain the points they need to leapfrog our current aplt score.

If they win them all, it'll be one heck of a performance.

The point is City have had problems there in the past and its never an easy place to go to when you have to win.

It could be one of those things. Burnley not being a threat is why they are a threat. Then again, they may concede two in the first ten minutes.

It's not just about who you play... It's about where you play...

Home advantage in football is huge.  Just look at the data and history.  Playing in front of your home fans, on a familiar pitch, without the travel and disruption to daily rhythm etc.  Going away from home to any team with a bit of fight is never easy.

Cardiff will be difficult for us tomorrow and Burnley though for them.

It's one of those everlasting questions, isn't it? Does a team perform better under pressure or when there's no pressure at all?

I'd still back Leicester over them mind, although the home advantage for Burnley could be the difference
