Cancelo will not want to be a victim,i expect he will make himself available.Whether Pep thinks he is in the right frame of mind is a different matter though.

This is our toughest remaining game on paper.

Lol can we calm down with Arsenal Praise please.

Playing home or Away means nothing, we would always play our game no matter where we go and I can’t accept that Arsenal is the toughest game remaining.

not that it's the point, but wonder what we do on Saturday if Cancelo doesn't want to play, or is mentally not with it and drops off form. We have no other full-backs than Zin at the moment so we'd be in a mess, especially with Martinelli in such rampant form.

Walker back training.

? We still have to play Liverpool, rags, Chelsea, Spurs etc

The title has still a long, long way to go

Personally, I think the rags at home is our toughest game left.

Spurs for me, Conte has got them on the roll, they will become a very good and difficult team to beat.

You my have a point there.

There are dropped points galore available, but somewhere the chasers have to rack up 6-8 points MORE THAN US!

What makes the run in so difficult for the chasers is they have to be almost perfect, while the leader has to falter multiple times.

The head to head match ups are key games. The chasers have to win while the leader has to not lose and allow any gap closure.
