Tottenhams next 4 fixtures: Swansea (A), Everton (H), Chelsea (A), City (H) - this is our chance to overtake them and make sure we get top 4. If we can string together 3-4 wins in a row now then we will be in a very strong position!
They've been poor for a while now, and relying on Bale to win them matches. Today he couldn't and this is the result.
What are Arsenals next 4 games? If Spurs get just 6 points from their next 4 they're doing well. Arsenal need to keep the pressure on. What seemed impossible 8 days ago now looks very much back on.
Reading (H) West Brom (A) Norwich (H) Everton (H) Confident about the Reading and Norwich games. The other two are more tricky, but West Brom do not have much to play for and we have a great record against Everton.
I have a suspicion that the Reading and Norwich games will be tougher than expected. We will need to be at our best and not leave anything to chance. In fact we need to be at our top level from now until the end of the season. I hope we can continue where we left off when we get back from the IB.
Reading are destined to lose every game they play against us. Our record against them is, played 10, won 10. Even when they go four goals up, they end up losing to us.
The next 4 games could define the season. If Arsenal can build on their momentum - overcoming Bayern at their ground, and overcoming "bogie" Swansea, coupled with a deflated Spurs on a poor run who also have their Europa League games to consider, it could be a great few weeks for Arsenal. They need to get Jack & Pod fit over the International Break & hope there's no injuries from the players called up. It's a good chance for Arteta & those not selected to get some proper rest. I'd give them a full 4 days off to recharge totally & relax before the run-in.
Spurs are bottling it again and looking at those fixtures, we should overtake them and claim 4th. They really should have won against Fulham to create some breathing space. Now they have to beat 3 out of 4 teams in the above fixtures who are/want to claim champs spots. If we have a really good run then we can get any one of 2-4 spots..
