Funny how a point at Wolves was seen by some as a bad result - but as they have now beaten City and Spurs, it turns out that it is a point gained on our title rivals!  Most teams in the division are capable of beating most of the other teams in the division - especially when they are playing at home.  Every win and every point needs to be earned - especially away from home.

It is going to be as much about keeping players fit as quality of play in the race for top 4  .  And so far Emery is doing well in keeping them going . Makes me really think that our style of play that can be really slow at times is done for this reason.  And we dont ever go in for stupid tackles either. 16 years of European footbal experience i guess.

It’s a good time to play them but Bentacur is back. 

Bentancur last started a prem game in early Feb so talking nearly 10 months out. Sub cameos are completely different to actually starting a prem match especially against our midfield.

Will be interesting what they do v us. Lost Bissouma with 5 yellows for our game so they will surely go very defensive and sit a little deeper and hope one of their rapid front three creates something out of little.

Need to remember that Digne, Luiz and Kamara are all on 4 yellows so losing two of them would balance things out a bit.

Losing both Luiz and Kamara would more then balance things up. Would massively weaken up. Hopefully they can avoid cards tomorrow. 
 

With the way they hand out cards these days 5 card bans does some harsh.
