Next 7 Games (Predictions/Expectations)

For any possible cup replay don't UEFA prevent any games being played the same night as ANY champions league game . think rags had to play Chelsea on a Monday a few years ago
 
2nd Feb - Sunderland (A) - League --- Win
6th Feb - Leicester City (H) - League --- Win
14th Feb - Tottenham (H) - League --- Win
19th-22nd Feb - Chelsea (A) - FA Cup 5th Round --- Lose
24th Feb - Dynamo Kyiv (A) - Champions League Last 16, 1st Leg --- Draw
28th Feb - Liverpool (N) - League Cup Final --- Win
2nd Mar - Liverpool (A) - League --- Lose

We're crap against decent opposition this season & we're crap away from home. Seen nothing in recent weeks that suggests we've changed either of those things, however we've looked improved in general play so would hope we'd win our home matches. Kiev aren't as bad as people think, they have some decent players & looked half decent in the matches I saw in the CL group stages, would take a draw away.

19th-22nd Feb - Chelsea (A) - FA Cup 5th Round Unfortunately this one I think we'll lose as Chelsea will prioritise it now.
24th Feb - Dynamo Kyiv (A) - Champions League Last 16, 1st Leg win
28th Feb - Liverpool (N) - League Cup Final win
2nd Mar - Liverpool (A) - League draw

An incredibly tough month with crucial games. Four league games which we have to take 10 pts from. The first three we must win, a draw at Anfield would be acceptable. This is where our squad has to show its strengths. Liverpool have several games before the league cup final but their squad is weaker so we should be able to better balance games. I believe they've got an extra Europa league fixture in the month and an FA Cup replay (which if they win will see them play in rnd 5. Chelsea in the FA Cup is where I think we'll come unstuck. We'll have a week before the game but will be very much looking at that away game in Kiev and the League Cup final and I think it might be too much for us. Chelsea will play full strength near enough for it.

We shall see. Personally I think our team in Kiev should be a dynamic (pardon the pun) midfield of Delph, Dinho and Fernando so we make sure we keep tight and then the pace of Sterling and Navas. We can then bring Silva and Aguero in for the league cup final. We shall see. A very important month and crucial league fixtures. 10pts out of those 4 games and we'll be top of the league. It would be incredible to be in a good position going into the CL 2nd leg, through to the FA Cup quarters, winners of the league cup and top of the league. If we're in all competitions in March it would be excellent.

I'd forgotten about the way UEFA pathetically stagger the ties.

I can't see when a replay could be fitted in. Lets hope it doesn't come to that

Someone told me that the cup takes precedent over the league, so it could be that the Villa game on 5th March gets moved.

Like you say, hopefully it doesn't come to that as it would cause even more congestion later in the season.

I have to agree that I have seen nothing in our away form in the league that makes me think we will win at Liverpool for example.

The final is 50/50 for me too.

I think we will win 4 draw 2 and lose 1. Not sure which one the loss will be. Hopefully not Wembley!

Good start to this tricky run, Sunderland away will be a nightmare for most teams as they fight for survival.

On to Leicester now, lot of people have us to win this but they are flying atm.
