There will still be 36 points left to play for, so it is probably too soon to call it decisive in itself. Leicester's game at the Emirates is more decisive in the sense that Leicester could go eight points clear of us if they win while we lose. So I suppose the two fixtures together could prove decisive in leaving us with a huge gap to close, especially given the cup fixtures we have coming up. In fact I think The Foxes will win the league if they beat the Gooners.
I just hope heads won't drop too much in here if we lose like we probably should visiting the most expensive team in the league. Let's not forget that we are ahead of schedule with where we are, and that if we can stay in the top four that in itself will be a huge achievement. It may be the weekend that proves more or less decisive to our title hopes, but if it is not to be let's stay positive.

More worried about Swansea away than Man city! Games at home where they park the bus are going to be very hard for us

Away at Man City I'd take a draw. We'd have 49 points with 12 games to go. To win the league I think it's mid 70s, which is a big ask with all the games we'll have. Champions League is mid to high 60s which is very doable. We don't need massive pressure on every game, we're so close to a points total that will get us to be in the Champions League we don't want a run of games without a win. The title is probably too much this year, top four really isn't.

Swansea are 4 points clear of the relegation zone and improving. They won't go down so will, hopefully try to play a bit more open.

City will be up for this one, in more ways than one. They will want to prove their dismal showing against Leicester last week was just a fluke. Vincent Company may be back. But Poch and his team are well aware of City's strengths and weaknesses. Given our fitness, I reckon that if we can hold them to a draw after an hour, and not get careless at the back, we can go on and beat them.

without doubt every Spurs fan will want the win over City, but the dilemma is what result do we want for Arse vs Leicester match.

-Win for Leicester, if we win too, we pull away from the scum
-Win for the scum, if we win too, we both creep up on Leicester
- Draw, then if we win, we pull a little away from the Scum and edge a tad closer to Leicester.

...again we must our match though....

What few have mentioned is that if Leicester win tomorrow they will be 8 clear with Norwich at home next weekend while the other top teams play in the FA Cup. They will have a massive chance to go 11 points clear.

Even if they lose tomorrow they will have the chance to win at home and get points on the board.

As for Swanse being open their new manager drills his teams in the art of defending. That will be a tough game.

I can't see Leicester blowing it now and I think they'll do the goons as well.
One game a week from now on in is what's going to push them over the line, the battle will be for us to stay in the top three but I honestly think we can do it which will be a massive achievement given most of us would have taken top six at the beginning of the season.
Think we need to just sit back and enjoy the ride for once!

Big risk for City if they play Kompany and Silva IMO. If either of them picks up another knock it will cause a lot of problems for them in the run in.

4 points clear does not meant they are safe and will start playing expansive football...
