I worry that not only we have to win that game but that we can't drop any more points at all elsewhere, which also concerns me given how close Utd and West Ham are. Looking at Arsenal's fixture list makes me think we might have benefited more from them winning today so we can worry a bit less about the rear view mirror.
Arsenal are at home 4 of 6 matches, and have a lot of relegation fodder, including Villa at home the last week. The only away match is against Sunderland.
After today we have 4 of 6 away including Chelsea (A), Southampton (A), and both home games against good opponents (Arsenal & Stoke).
Utd has a bit of a mixed schedule but hopefully will drop all points against Spurs away tomorrow. Assuming we win today that would put us 5 points clear of them with 6 games to play. Bad news is they play Villa at home next week whilst we have Chelsea away, so they could gain all points right back if we stumble.
Their toughest remaining matches are Leicester (H) and West Ham (A).
It is really going to be a battle the last month and a half. I am very nervous, and not confident just yet, although the return of KDB and Nasri could continue to get us back into gear.
