Ultimately Arsenal are in the best form. 1 draw and 10 wins in their last 11. Last lost on 31st December. 8 wins in a row at one point. But top on goal difference. Can they keep it going with the pressures of the CL. They don't rotate the CBs or Odegaard. Can they stay fit and in form right to the end?
The dippers have won 5 in a row all season. Dropping points at the swamp makes me question whether they can go and win 7. Van Dijk remains key. An injury for him and it could be costly. And they might actually have to pick a strong team in the Europa at some point. Can they manage to sustain their energy levels with a relatively new squad?
We've won 6 in a row. And went 9 wins and a draw in 10. Unbeaten since 6th December. 1pt off top and never really looking like the ruthless machine we've come to expect. What a position to be in. Not in our hands, but win all 7 and we should win the league. If we don't, fair play to whoever does. They'll have been made to work for it.
Injuries can cause issues too. We're going to Real with a depleted defence. We have Luton at home which hopefully means we can rotate and win. Arsenal play Villa, who whilst having the Europa Conference, will be a test for them to go again. They then go to Bayern before playing Wolves away and Chelsea at home.
And ultimately City need Rodri. Lose him and we're in trouble. A lot has to come together.
The fact we're in this position is unbelievable to be honest, and I'm relaxed and enjoying it. If we win fuck all, I'll just watch the documentary again. That's there forever and whilst I want more, losing Gundo and Mahrez and having a season with a lot of injuries and Rodri missing 4 league games which we failed to win is a fair excuse in my book.
