The waistcoat hasn’t selected Ben White for the England squad. He’s Arsenals only fit right back. It’s annoying he will be resting.

Just thought, I bet Shteve loves being Ten hags no 2 as gets to do his accent every day. What a plum!

I only see Brighton and Chelsea with nothing to play for in tgat list.
Rest either Europe or relegation.
Going to be a ride and a half April and may.

That's if Forest and Wolves aren't safe by the time Arsenal play them. Hopefully they'll still need points.

we'll win it with games to spare:

Arsenal have city away, chelsea, newcastle away and brighton consecutively at the crunch point of the season with maximum pressure. As well as anfield before that. they bottled it vs us in the high pressure environment. They're great at rolling over the small sides but there's no way they dont at least draw one of those games. i reckon more.

We'll win before the brentford game.

I think it’s more that White doesn’t want to be selected… a lot more to the story about him leaving the World Cup than we were told which basically boils down to him not really enjoying playing for England.

The way I see it, the Fa Cup and Champions league is the priority given our position. Keep the pressure on Arsenal but we’re still in 3 competitions and they are in one. We can keep the pressure on them but ultimately I think the amount of games will catch up to us. The positive of being against liverpool in the title race was that they normally still had the same amount of games to play as us. I think it’s a huge advantage for arsenal. Never write us off but I can see us falling short.

Not sure if it's an advantage. We've seen before that sometimes we play better with a game every few days providing we have 14 or 15 in good form so able to rotate. Arse having a game/week sounds good in theory, but when things get really tight, it's more days to brood or fester over what happened or might happen.

I'm not so sure - they've won 6 of their last 12 matches, and two of those wins came in injury time, one with the very last kick of the match.

I know we had some late wins in 2017/18, including Sterling in a similar last minute win, but that was in the middle of an 18 game winning streak in the league (26 wins out of 27 in all competitions - with the only blemish being a dead rubber in the Champions League).

So, while tough wins can be a sign of champions, it looks more to me like their form is nowhere near the level it was earlier in the season. They've got a run of tough games coming up, and I can see them dropping quite a few points between now and the end of the season.
