As to the big game against Chelsea, It depends if the ref allows Chelsea to foul without sanction.
Walker and mendy are my favorite player's. Both are rock solid and super fit.Indeed they have. Of most concern at the moment is the injury to Mendy. Danilo would be fine against the lesser lights but against top teams I'm not sure. Let's hope Delph can do the job when needed!
A lot depends on the Chelsea game, if we win I think our confidence will go through the roof and absolutely cruise to wins in our next 3 games against Stoke, Burnley and West Brom. If we lose to Chelsea however, it will be interesting to see how much resilience this team has.
I seem to remember KDB's miss and subsequent loss against Chelsea being pinpointed as the start of our decline last season, I have a feeling this game could be just as important.
I personally think we'll win on Saturday and over the next few weeks start to open up a small gap between us and the chasing pack.
3-1 City
BTW Chelsea got 93 points last season only losing 5 and drawing 3. I believe the winner this season will have to do better still this season. 97 points will probably be required to win the title this season.
No way will 97 points be needed. I think 91 tops will be needed, and I expect it to be less than that.
Don't forget they had 93 points but only 87 were needed to win the title.
