We are in s great position but so have other teams and been caught. We can all look at fixture lists and make predictions but football isn't like that which is why it is so fascinating.
We all probably expected to lose at Liverpool given our abysmal record there but Palace and Burnley away we would have expected to win. So there is 4 points less than most people calculated.
I am not going to make predictions but Leicester will be extra motivated on Saturday due to the Mahrez situation. Arsenal away is another bogy side. Six other sides are at the moment in a relegation battle. Spurs away is tough. Chelsea are Chelsea, at the moment you don't know which side is going to turn up and a derby is a derby. In short nothing is guaranteed.
The rags will no doubt drop points and it will take bad luck and a drop in performances to cock this up, but I have been a City fan too long to tempt bloody fate by saying we have won anything before it is over!
