I said to my brother last night, " When I watch Chelsea, I don't see a team that blows me, a team that will run away with this league title"
My brothers response was "I see a team that doesn't concede goals,they dont have to wow you or blow you away. Because they don't concede goals they dont lose football matches and from that basis have a far better chance of winning games when their match winners (Hazard, Costa) do the business.Its what separates Chelsea from Liverpool, Arsenal and City
With 22 games left, I still think the title race is between the current top 4 who all have similar chances in my opinion although chelsea are pulling away with 10 straight wins. Our 14 consecutive win record is under threat
And their next 5 games are Palace(a), Bournemouth(h),Stoke(h),Spurs(a), Leicester(a). I don’t think they will do it and the run will probably end at Spurs but consecutive wins do a lot of damage.They are still too reliant on Costa and Hazard and hopefully their luck regarding injuries will eventually run out.
So we play City next and I must say I go into big games away from home expecting results unlike 2 years back. The biggest change is having a match winner like Sanchez but the other thing is we just seem to play better when teams open up against us.
City will likely play the same way and without Gundagon, Fernandinho and Aguero we must fancy our chances.It is a good time to play them but we said the same thing about united last season.
I am quitely confident and I think Sanchez and Ozil in particular will be embarrassed of the performance they put in against Everton.
Hopefully we can go on a run after this game.
Win against City and we start another run

If we beat City I will leave this site. Our team doesn't have the balls for big away games

We won't beat City. Best bet is a draw

We don't seem to do well against big teams though especially away from home. At home we occasionally get the odd wins then mostly draws, then away we always lose and get a very rare win. Last season we only beat one of the top 10 teams away from home and that was Leicester. This season already not beaten anyone decent away, draws to Man United, PSG and defeat to Everton. Then at home we beat Chelsea but drew to Spurs and PSG. Man City has become a must win game now as if we lose or draw we're most likely going to be 8-9 points off the top which already at this stage of the season is a big lead.

Arsenal does not do well against big teams.
Arsenal is unpredictable against average teams.
Arsenal is shaky against poor teams.
OP, I will now let your brother continue.
