if we win next week we are in great shape, IMO. Chelsea have 4 games left against top 6 and Liverpool still has to travel to United and Chelsea. We get City at home and Chelsea away.

I don't think that game's going to be the cakewalk some on here think it's going to be. Those two Dortmund lads they've just picked up are seriously good players and they were much improved against Everton. Take beating the Gooners for granted next week and we're going to get a bloody nose.
Doesn't matter who they play if we bring our best we'll beat them. We're better than them. I don't think it will be easy either. It's always hard against them.

We definitely have easier away fixtures. We just have Chelsea. They have Chelsea united Everton and wba Southampton won’t be easy.

The run-in is completely different, going away to teams who are fighting for their lives is entirely different.

That's why I think we're really fortunate that we're playing City in April, they're going to have the league wrapped up by then and they'll be focusing on the CL.

West Brom on the 5th of May could be an absolute nightmare, or they could be relegated by then.

Really good result today.

Liverpool were on top in the first half but didn't create too much. They pressed hard and looked to have run out of gas in the second half.

Second half we were well on top but a missed penalty and moment of magic from Salah cost us.

Great that we can come away from Anfield with a point and slight disappointment at not getting more.

I've said this before but if we retain our CL spot in a season with 38 away games then it would be nothing short of phenomenal.

Despite the early season wobbles, we've done well to turn Wembley as close to a home ground as possible.

Don't agree with that one, it was a pretty crap game decided by a late goal.

Arsenal definitely outplayed us though, we were never even in that game.

Fair enough, I thought we were never in the game and didn’t look like scoring. Each to their own.
