We have come out of these 2 fixtures still on top of City.I really feared we would lose ground in the last 2 fixtures but Everton have done us a favour. Stoke missed a trick by sitting back in the first half.once we went at half time 0-0 I knew they wouldnt win as its not east to raise the intensity 2nd half. Its annoying that we haven't opened up a gap but its not like the City team is anything like the invincibles or the great united teams of the past.
If we get 2 or 3 players back and integrate Elneny we should go on a run. Obviously the game against Barca has the potential to put the skids but I think the next few fixtures are kind.I fancy us to even get a point from old trafford.
A lot being made of our away fixtures but only spurs away scares me.Its the teams that press well that beat us.Teams that sit back like united wont cause much damage. Really hope Sanchez is back next week along with Ozil. Having Coq back, hopefully in February will make a huge difference.
City havent been great away from home despite some lucky wins.Expect them to drop points against West Ham and hopefully Spurs can do us a favour when they visit them.
Its still on
Not a bad point

Well that away form has coincided with Coquelin's and Cazorla's injuries. Before that it was pretty good. Not keeping the ball is a big issue away from home.

Tbh if we win all our home games and draw all our away games we'd probably win the league. Maybe throw in 2 wins against Sunderland and Bournemouth. That would put us on 80 points I think.

Whilst a point at anfield and stoke seems a good result we are going to have to get some wins from these difficult away trips. We stoill have man u everton spurs city away if we lose or draw all of those games we simply wont win the title. Anfield was a golden opportunity to get a valuable 3 points which we chucked. Chelsea really is a must win and we are going to have to win a few of these tough away trips.

I know Wenger sometimes doesn't tell the truth when it comes to injuries but baring no injuries in training, I'm confident Sanchez and Ozil will be back next week. They were both pictured in full training pre Stoke match.
Even Rosicky back in training but will most likely play 45mins with the reserves on Friday and then maybe come off the bench vs Burnley in FA Cup

I'd be confident going to Everton and utd. More concerned with Chelsea as we still have this ridiculous problem beating them.
Ozil, Sanchez and elneny should give us an immediate lift. Looks like welbeck and Coq will play before long too.

Only disappointing thing about the last two fixtures for me were the substitutions at Liverpool. I feel these cost us 2 points.
