Between Spurs and Arsenal we will probably be playing the rescheduled Everton away as well ... and then after Arsenal is the Monchengladbach away as well ...

Beat Liverpool, Spurs, and United and we'll certainly win the title. The season is compressed into these next matches. In fact three draws would probably be ok.

Had a few Utd fans say the same thing to me, they said it's all on the derby game as they'll win all of the other games.
ffs, the giddiness & cockiness has been unleashed again

I don’t give a fuck what the run in looks like. Dias and Stones look impenetrable. Impenetrable. I think we’re going to end up running away with it.

Let's see how they cope with Thursday night football. I think it's between us, United, and Leicester. Liverpool look burned-out (like us last season)

Looking beyond the next two league games of Sheff Utd, who I expect us to dispatch quite easily & Burnley which looks and normally is a bit trickier, we have a tremendous set of season defining league fixtures :-
Dippers (A)
Spuds (H)
Arse (A)
Wet Spam (H)
Rags (H)
How many points would you reckon to be a good haul? Can we afford to draw 2 or 3 ? Maybe even lose a couple ? Obviously a lot would depend on who the negative results where against, hopefully we arrive at the Dipper game with 6 pts in the bag, tails up & top of the league ready to end the hoodoo, anything around
11-12pts would be a decent return in my eyes

A draw with the dippers would be a result as we never get anything there but no reason why we can’t win the rest.

On current form, we'd be favourites in every game. We aren't conceding many goals, so I can't see us losing many (if any). Presuming we beat both Sheffield and Burnley - which will both be tougher than the game vs WBA - we will hopefully be in a nice position ahead of the chasing pack. If we're still top after those games, we'll be nailed on for the league.
Ideally, we beat the likes of United, Liverpool and Spurs which will give us breathing room when our fixture congestion catches up with us.

Next 2 games before Liverpool are 'massive':
City - Sheffield United (H), Burnley (A)
United - Arsenal (A), Southampton (H)
Leicester - Leeds (H), Fulham (A)
Liverpool - Spurs (A), West Ham (A), Brighton (H)
We could go into that Liverpool game with a decent lead which will be huge for confidence. I think United fall apart from here on out. Leicester closest to us in a couple of games, Liverpool closer in the long run.

I’ve suddenly got very nervous.

Come off it!!
The Rags and the Dippers are burning their best 11 out.
For me Spurs and Leicester are the real threats.
Our next 7 PL matches will confirm if we are possible PL Champions or not.

That’s a tough run of games. Winning the next two are crucial, we can’t afford to drop points against the likes of Burnley and Sheff United. I think we’ll be a minimum of three points ahead of the nearest team by time we play Liverpool, so sort of a free hit to finally win at Anfield. If we’re still stop after the United game, we’ll be in a good position.

These are a tough run of games, but I think draws against Livpool, Spus and Utd. would be great in terms of the league. This run we’ve been on since mid-December has made this so. Although to only draw against United after their result and performance tonight and the fact it’s United, would be disappointing.
