Stan Collymore picks the two games that will decide Liverpool's bid

Liverpool was superb in their management of Chelsea Sunday and, as everyone has an affinity with the club, I am looking forward to seeing where this season ends.

The Premier League title is in the hands of Manchester City and part of me thought they might be blinking at Crystal Palace earlier in the day, but that was not the case.

The decisive games of Jurgen Klopp's men are now their last two games, against Newcastle and the Wolves in May.

There will be one or two people who hope that Rafa Benitez, the man who led Liverpool to the glory of the Champions League, will let some of his Toon players rest for the penultimate match and will be heard humming "You'll never walk alone" on his way the canoe to St James's Park.



Liverpool was impressive Sunday – but his last two matches are big now

But he is the cons consummate and will want to win this match as much as any other.

It will be then the Wolves at home and the boys of Nuno Espirito Santo would like to be the team that prevented Liverpool from winning the title.

I also wonder if players such as Ruben Neves could see in the game a real chance to get to the window.

There is still a lot of work to be done for my old club to end its 29 years of waiting for the title.



His son shone last week, now it's City's turn

Sorry Spurs, the city is still too strong

Although Tottenham have a 1-0 lead over Manchester City before the second leg tomorrow, Pep Guardiola's men are my favorites.

Do not get me wrong, the Spurs have a team capable of knocking them out and they can do it by pushing high and daring – but I still want to make things change in City.

And I did not see Barcelona against Manchester United last week, making me think that City or Liverpool could not beat them.



Brighton owes a great performance to his fans and his manager

Great evening for Brighton

For a team that is near the bottom of the table but has yet to be relegated, conceding five goals at this time of the season is almost unforgivable.

The Brighton players have to look well after the pounding of Bournemouth and before tonight's clash with Cardiff.

It should be the time of the season when you say, "Let's stay in this division."

There should be lots of saber blows in the locker room before the match, lots of screaming and emotions and good tactical planning.

They owe their manager, Chris Hughton, and their supporters a great performance at the Amex tonight.



The epidemic of racism is of growing concern

Do not shoot the messenger

What has most disappointed me about the situation with West Ham fans singing anti-Semitic songs on a train, is the number of Hammers supporters who then mistreated me on Twitter for having the audacity to showcase it.

People are more concerned that their clubs are being put down now than by racism – and this is a worrying level.
