Such a crucial game to set us up for the run-in. If we drop points here then it's such a uphill struggle right away, as we have what are, at least on paper, four tougher games than this one in these last eight games. Having said that, if we drew with Watford then beat Wolves, it wouldn't be the end of the world. It's just a mental thing if we were to do it the other way around, or ideally win both. My hope is that Matic and Herrera are more up to speed, with hopefully some of our forwards being more rested. I haven't heard much in terms of updates yet, but I'd hope we can have four if not five of our forwards available. It's going to be touch and go but I'm hopeful that this international break has benefited us.
I'm of the opinion that we need to win six of the remaining eight games to finish in the top four. Wolves away and City at home are what I think are our most likely games to drop points in, but Everton away and Chelsea at home are dodgy as well. It's why I think dropping points in any of the 'bankers' will just do us in and I doubt we'll manage to get past Barcelona either.

, some of these players still seem mentally fragile to me.
