Night games, both stadiums will be absolutely rocking and I think form will absolutely go out the window.

United also play in between the two fixtures and have something to play for in the league. I'm not hugely confident as its United but I think we can maybe put them out.

Derby games present a different challenge to the normal league schedule and the form book usually goes out the window. To be honest, I would put my money on a draw, but I don't think Arsenal will lose. Their results will pick up going into the end of the season (although I expect more twists and turns) and the NLD could be the catalyst for that.

Before Tuesday I would have taken a point from West Ham.

This was assuming:

Leicester would hopefully draw, but more likely would win at home

Arsenal would probably win at home

City could get anything at Anfield.




Other results really coudnt have got better for us.

Arsenal and Leicester taking a single point between them at home to bottom half sides is fantastic. It's a shame we couldn't capitalise, but if we'd just lost at Villa instead of West Ham it'd be different.


That's a big toughie out of the way for us, and easier home fixtures gone for those two.

Can go top with a win on Saturday, put 6pts between us and 3rd, and drag Arsenal in to a scrap with City, United, West Ham and Liverpool, with two favourable fixtures to follow for us - Bournemouth and Villa

Very worst case scenario, we will still be 2nd after the weekend, and 6pts off of top - with two of our derbies gone

I wouldn't be surprised if we lost by a single goal on Saturday! Of course we can win, but as Harry's not in top form we can't really rely on any other players to score except Alli and Chadli!

I agree with you Chronic, it was a poor performance from us. West Ham were the better team and deserved to win - why? Bilic's tactics were spot on, he had to make changes after we thrashed them 4-1 at WHL. They only had 35% possession but always looked more likely to score and made sure we hardly had any clear cut chances on goal - we desperately needed Alli to start the match, to be more creative when going forward. And Dembele was a big loss as he would've strengthened up our midfield. Dier's played well for us as DM this season but Dembele is one reason why we've been able to even be title challengers.

I think even more now there's next to no chance of us winning Premier League this season, but I really hope we finish in top 3 to avoid Champions League play off!

To be honest, if Leicester don't win it, I hope you guys do.

It would be nice to see someone other than the regulars clinch the title for once.

Don why on earth do you think we won't be able to beat Watford? Surely by now you have to give us a bit more credit.....

Good team Watford tbh mate. One fixture I didn't look forward to was facing them.
