It's the time when people start talking about awards, but there is no question Liverpool should win the double.

Luis Suarez has been magnificent and Brendan Rodgers is a class act.

They are the player and manager of the year. Liverpool had success under Gerard Houllier and Rafa Benitez, but never played with the same style as Rodgers’ side.
Last year they were 28 points off the title and now they lead by two. That is an incredible turnaround. Glen Johnson said it would be good for neutrals if Liverpool won the title, but it would be great for English football full stop.

They play such fantastic football with a British manager and Sunday had six Englishmen in their starting XI.

Suarez and Rodgers should win the individual awards, but they will want to make it a magnificent treble with the title.
You would expect Arsenal to play two defensive midfielders against Manchester City, but it was a surprise to see Jose Mourinho do it against Crystal Palace.

He was without the suspended Ramires, and playing Nemanja Matic made sense because he is cup-tied for Wednesday’s Champions League game, but Tony Pulis will have been pleased to see Oscar and Willian on the bench.
Starting Matic and David Luiz played into Palace’s hands.

They relished the midfield battle rather than having to deal with Chelsea’s smaller playmakers, and Mile Jedinak was so strong.

The result showed it’s not just big head-to-heads that can win you the title. Of the top three, only Liverpool have not lost a game to one of the bottom five
