Great wins for Villa & QPR at the weekend - the match against each other next week is going to be huge!

Surprised to see Spurs gift the win to Liverpool with 2 very sloppy goals. Even more surprised to see Chelsea come back from 2-0 against United. Is Benitez finally turning the tide?

Spurs threw it away yesterday, the game was there for the taking.

I'm already planning my excuses as to why we won't finish top 4. I want to AVBelieve we can do it, I just worry.

Huge win for Villa though, and I still hope United smash Chelsea in the replay.

Spurs was our hardest game on paper in the run in... besides Chelsea at home, but at least Benitez will field his reserve team

The liverpool fans we're singing " C'mon in agent Benitez, you're job is complete"

A classic six-pointer as they say. The difference being 7 points or 1 between the teams come 4:45.  Benteke will tear Samba apart!

It was good match, both teams had their spells. It really came down to the best two divers, players on the pitch.

Unfortunately for Spurs, Suarez won that contest although I'll give top marks to Sturridge who nearly stole the show.

Isn't this normally Liverpool's problem though? They play well against the top teams and then go and lose to teams they should be beating like, oh, I don't know, Villa for example.

I think Liverpool could have done with playing some of the better teams, but I will admit that they're playing really well at the moment. I'd be tempted to place a little wager on them sneaking into that 4th place.

This was last season's issues, we were beating the top teams and losing to the bottom, it's role reversal this year. Losing to the top teams... like Villa

I must admit I've been surprised by Liverpool's upturn un form in recent weeks.  I think they were lucky to beat Spurs but the games before they played really well.  Suarez is playing amazingly well and it's good to see Lucas back in the midfield too, I think they've missed him big time.  I think they'll have a good push for a top 4 finish but I'm not sure they'll make it.

I don't think it's any surprise that Liverpool's change in form has happened since Sturridge's arrival. With him in the team, they have someone that can not only add more goals, but also occupy defenders, giving Suarez more freedom. I can't see them cracking the top 5 this year, but they'll have a good foundation to build on next season.

Villa 1-2 Liverpool

Stevie and Coop... come out, come out, wherever you are(actually Australia)

Revenge is sweet...

I'm here bro. Yeah nice win. We are back in the bottom three but only temporarily. Have great confidence in the lads to win a few before the end and stay up.

I think you'll be ok. Benteke is a wonder buy for you guys.  I would love to see Stoke go down.

Villa-Liverpool - Only saw a bit of the game but I think we were a tad lucky- I'll take that.

Liverpool played really well in the second half. I'd love to see Stoke go down too.

Champion's league predictions anyone??

I would like to see one of the German sides Munich or Dortmund lift it.

Hope Madrid get knocked out.. not a fan
