Spurs are the only one I can see at risk of dropping points. Hope we do the business today.

Arsenal & City to drop points. I believe.

I really can't see anything changing in the top 6 with these fixtures, Spurs the most likely to drop points with their depleted frontline.

Ozil, Aubameyang and Lacazette all start. Could be a terrible night for Cardiff. Also Ozil is captain. Will Emery ever make up his mind with him?

I like Torreira, think Guendouzi has talent too .. I'd say Leno is decent as well, bit dodgy but decent.

But oh boy do they need to sign some defenders.

If I was Warnock I'd be hitting Arsenal's right hand side as often as possible.

Lichtsteiner is done, he has no legs left. I know Cardiff don't have a Mane in the side but if they can get someone like Hoilett running at him he will cause issues.

Nah I think we'll be ok until we play United.

Think we'll drop points there. Hoping for a point.
I'd say youre dropping points against United, Everton and Chelsea. I have City dropping points against United and Chelsea. It's madness, that two teams are gonna finish above 90 points and with a chance of both above 95 points.

I think you're being really generous to Everton but a draw isn't out of the question. Chelsea's record at Anfield plus your record against us at Old Trafford suggests you might be right about the other two.

Agreed though that it's ridiculous how many points the top two will probably end up with. Any other season and we'd be running away with it (apart from last season).

Everton should just appoint Big Sam for the game vs Liverpool.

14% possession, zero shots on target, a glorious 0-0 :drool:.

Really don't want Pep to get the 100 games record..

but keeping pressure on the scouse takes precedence i guess.

I had you for a draw at Everton. I don't think that's generous. Games at Goodison park are always cagey affairs for you. I would never have Everton down to win against you, that's a cosmic event.

Or 1-1 like last season. Lovren giving away a needless penalty.
Christ that was a shocking game. Everton didn't even turn up to play, it was basically a training game yet somehow they came away with the point.

IIRC Lovren was an idiot for the penalty, but it was still a clear dive (don't remember who by).

Sounds like Sean Dyche is commentating on our game

I think it was Calvert-Lewin but Lovren didn't need to move into him like he did. DCL was going towards the corner flag.

Arsenal will cruise through.City will drop points today, they have had so many games in a quick span.

What's so different about Arsenal's play? Seems to me it's the same as under wenger. Defensively naive and short/fancy passes for no reason/ try to walk the ball into net.
