Liverpool is now 13 points behind Chelsea. But that's not all - Liverpool is now 5 points behind Champion's league place (4.th place). Liverpool fans are desperate for title, but it look like to be another season without title. Liverpool is catastrophic, out of Champions League, out of Carling Cup, out of the race for the title. In today's meeting I am sure we wont see good football from reds. Benitez is lost in the space, probable he has no more ideas how to play and how to manipulate with the fans. Before Sunday game Benitez said that Liverpool will certainly qualify for the Champions League, and after some time he will probably change Champion's league with UEFA Europe league. But the question is whether this is it. Everybody expect title, maybe Champion's league, nothing less. In one such situation I think Liverpool can't win with two goals difference. After all, Liverpool didn't win with two goals difference in last two seasons, when Liverpool was in fantastic form. Here are the results:

And Wigan started to play better, one win, one draw and one lost game in a row isn't something special, but let's compare with Liverpool results:

Dec 12: Stoke City 2-2 Wigan Athletic
Dec 5: Wigan Athletic 2-3 Birmingham City
Nov 28: Wigan Athletic 1-0 Sunderland
-----------------------------------------------------
Dec 13: Liverpool 1-2 Arsenal
Dec 9: Liverpool 1-2 Fiorentina (Champions League)
Dec 5: Blackburn Rovers 0-0 Liverpool

So, I think a surprise here isn't impossible. It's a perfect time for Wigan. But even if Liverpool win, I don't think it will be with more then one goal difference.
