The race

That's why this is a very important month league wise.
If we beat Everton our nine point lead goes from theory to reality.
I think it would be nice if we could extend our gap even more this month. Might allow Slot to rotate more.

If we get out of this month just maintaining the 9 point gap I'd be ecstatic. That Everton game will be brutal. And even now going to City fills me with dread. I don't think we've won there in the league since that 4-1 in Klopp's first season.

I would have shared your fear if that City team looked anywhere close to the City team of last season.

Well obviously, I'm just saying it's still hard to imagine us actually going there and winning, even now. We should, but I can't quite see it.

They've bought a few players, so in theory they may be better than they were at the weekend. Hopefully not though

Yeah I know, but they've looked a bit "meh" to be fair. Not sure if they'll be up to speed when we play them.

If we get to the Carabao (and Villa is rescheduled) then we only have 9 PL games from March onwards. That would be huge, counting down every game. Huge 5 games in Feb (if it is 5 games).
