Don`t be surprised if Spurs roll over for Leicester, if they think they can stop Chelsea making top four. Hope they don`t, but definitely on the cards.

Well if we do then it's another reason to slate Mourinho.

united won't roll over for leicester, but if we were to secure 3rd before then - unlikely, but possible - i'd imagine we would give half the team a well-earned rest.
6/7 points should be enough to secure CL.
Frank will have to start rotating the midfield and wide players, non-rotation of Barkley, Pulisic and Willian is an issue (less so tactics).
They've all started 4 matches in 10 days, intensely.
Also missing attackers (or midfielders) and that can switch play quickly against compact low-block sides.
Hudson-Odoi excels at switching play (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UG412xS1lQQ ), no other attacker capable of playing such effortless passes consistently.
Works well with Loftus-Cheek, as was seen last season in their brief appearances together.
I expect Kovacic will start, which I'd have no qualms about.
I'm not even bother going to predict anything - you only get left with egg on your face if you do anyway.
Last season I thought we were in free fall and would not be able to hold off the chasing pack for 4th spot.
What happened - we pipped $purs for 3rd spot and won the Europa!
I like to be more pragmatic, see what happens and enjoy the Chelsea rollercoaster!
Liverpool
Man City
Man Utd
Chelsea (we'll just about scrape in final day)
Are you feeling ok Brum ?
Loftus Kovacic Mount
Callum Girooo Pulisic
Go with that.
Chelseamf , it's not the mid 3 or front 3 I'm worried about !

Defensive problems is the knock-on effect of issues starting from the front...
Lack of quality, tempo and intensity from attack and midfield (especially Mount & Jorgi) was alarming in loss against Sheff United.
I expected a sharp drop-off in performance, when there is no rotation.
Don't know what Mount was doing for the Sheffield United' but that was a player dead on his feet.
*Sheffield United's first goal
Frank has hinted at making changes using fresh players against Norwich in his press conference, that's a good sign.
Chelsea will probably get 4/9 points. Win vs Norwich, Lose vs Liverpool, Draw vs Wolves. United will get 3rd for sure so Chelsea just have to hope Lester drop more points than they do.
