This table shows the alternative premier league view of where our par 1 fixtures fall. The clear noticeable gap in the middle of the season between boxing day and mid February is where we will likely see a drop in our APLT standing with a run of several Par 3s. We will therefore need to be in good standing come christmas to put in a challenge as unless we have a perfect run of games we will come out of the period on the back of a slump in that particular table.
Another notable feature of the season is run of the home games from mid Feb onwards in the season where there are no significant challenges. This will mean to have a good season we will need a near faultless record at home for the final 6 home games whilst at the same time dealing with tough away games almost every other week with Southampton, Man Utd, Crystal Palace, Everton, Chelsea and West Brom. This is likely to be where we will see rotation and squad depth come in to play especially if we are still in Europe, as we go week to week with different challenges. Our experience of the run in this year where we excelled in our away games could pay dividends.
