And we take an 8 point lead into it. Puts the pressure on Manchester City when they host Liverpool in the early kick off when the PL resumes on April Fools Day.
6 wins in a row, scoring 19 (today was the 3rd time in 6 we hit 4). Great reaction to that defeat against City, when obituaries were being written for our title chances.
With injuries building, the break could be good timing for us, lets hope it doesn't cost us players. Maybe we can pull a few out (the 3 Gabriels are already free of duty, as is White of course). Thomas Partey and Bukayo Saka will be the biggest worries.
Saka became the first PL player to score >10 and get >10 assists this season. He is now on 12 goals, while Martinelli is on 13.
The only real downside was conceding. We still have just 3 home clean sheets, compared to 8 away. We did end the game with a back 4 of Partey, Holding, Kiwior and Tierney though.
10 games to go. 26 points will guarantee the title, 23 if we beat City
International break...

Can’t bottle it now. Let’s get all 30 points available

If we repeat our last 10 form (w7, d1, l2) into the next ten we will finish on 91.
City would have to be near perfect to beat that.

Really hope you guys can do it now, really like Arteta, he is a good dude and deserves huge credit.
I do think City could go on and win 9-10 of their remaining games though so it will be tight and you cannot slip up.

If you do that you may just shade it.
Could see city going 8-2-1 or 9-1-1 or something though.

Hopefully the one they don't win is against us. Still think we will need something from the Etihad.

Yeah, not losing that would be huge

A good win, 28 games & now 69 points. 👏👏
Holding did OK, of course Zaha caused mayhem at times (he always does here) & at times we looked shaky defensively - but overall job done. ✅

A point from the Ethiad and not losing at Newcastle and Liverpool would be perfect and will do it for us probably.

24 points would leave us on 93 (assuming you mean we win the rest). City would only be able to get to 92
