Hardly a must win, last night was a must win for them as their game at Arsenal will, if we win tonight. We aren't in must win territory.With the rags winning this now becomes a must win game to keep our 8pts advantage over the rags. Mangala instead of Vinny is possibly the only change to the team that I can foresee. Possibly B Silva for either Leroy or Kevin, as possibly other changes to the squad.
I think the Pep philosophy is every game is a “must win” game to avoid any complacency. Saints will be tough but whatever team Pep puts out should have enough in the tank to press our way to victory.With the rags winning this now becomes a must win game to keep our 8pts advantage over the rags.

Watford is a home match, the Palace game was switched for TV and the Watford game had to move as a a result of that.BerkshireBlue, yes I do feel sorry for the Soton fans, however City fans have to travel to both Crystal Palace on the 30/12/17 then Watford a couple of days later on the 30/12/17 can't remember if any of these game shave been moved for TV.
Two games on the same date. That is pushing it a bit. We'll definitely have to rotate a few!BerkshireBlue, yes I do feel sorry for the Soton fans, however City fans have to travel to both Crystal Palace on the 30/12/17 then Watford a couple of days later on the 30/12/17 can't remember if any of these game shave been moved for TV.
I live in Southampton, I'll be getting home around 3/3:30am, depending on traffic.You have to feel for Southampton fans. Midweek in Manchester and a later than usual ko. What time are they going to get home? The PL really must look at the timing of fixtures and work around the long journey for fans. Not that they are interested in how the fans will get to matches. You could say, at least they are not travelling to Newcastle.
Not meaning to sound at all complacent, but it's quite astonishing that we will be 17 points ahead of Spurs with a win tonight. That's an incredible lead after just over one third of a season!
