We do have some things in our favour, besides the heated dressing room arguments. Sunderland's recent away form, for one thing, has
been really poor. Then we actually have quite a nice run following this over the festive period, so for all the "one game at a time" talk, we should really be building a platform to spring forward here. Liverpool also have a run of easy fixtures, so we need to be matching them. I reckon we can go into the New Year ahead of either Villa or Spurs (or both!)
