For us, anything other than a win, and the title will be all but gone.

Not really. Even if we lose I still think we’ll win the title. Arsenal only have to drop points in one more game than us and they have to go to St James and play Brighton and Chelsea.

If we win though, hard to see how it’s not terminal for Arsenal’s chances.

But they'll have less games to drop them in.
Its a big ask for us to still have 2 more games to play than them in the league plus our cup commitments.

I agree it makes it difficult, but it isn’t “all but gone” by a long shot.

My wife and I are taking off from Los Angeles, CA tomorrow (Monday) and headed to Manchester to watch the game vs Arsenal on Wednesday. This is one of those bucket list things to do in life for me. We will be doing a stadium tour at 2:30pm, and then I want to head over to Mary D’s for a couple of beers. Any other suggestions on places to go to if we have a couple of hours to kill. I hope I run into some of you at Mary D’s and get to share a pint. Man, I can’t wait.

Class, safe journey mate.

Not gone but just that little bit harder.
Arsenal would be in driving seat again

Thanks Brad. Looking forward to our European trip.

A draw takes it out of Arsenal's hands so I'm not sure how it'll be gone?

Put Walker at left back

Might need him against Martinelli.

Really strange one as the title is still in both teams hands, a draw doesn't really help either team. I still think there are more points to be dropped by both sides.

Same lineup as the Bayern ties, with Laporte for Ake.

Arsenal will be both high energy to start and tightly strung. I expect Jack will manage to get under their skins, but wish we had a Fernandinho to pull Xhaka over the edge.

I could see a tight 2-1 game through 70 minutes turning to a 5-1 blowout once they run out of steam. Either that or 4-0 at half.
