We've not got into our stride so far and have had multiple key injuries plus the self-inflicted loss of Rodri so to be top at this stage is a fantastic bonus.
If we can get to to late January within touching distance of top spot and then remain relatively injury-free (maybe a big ask) then you'd have to back us to do four in a row. My concern is that a fairly small squad is carrying non-performers in the shape of Phillips, Gomez and Nunes. It might be unfair on Nunes but he does seem to be a panic buy and nothing in his brief appearances to date suggest anything more than a very occasional bit part player. You'd hope we can do it but you can't just expect a title. It's gruelling and there's a good reason why no club has done it four consecutive times in the modern era.
