Far from feeling easy. With three games to go and 11 points clear i would feel easy but not at all now. Think Leicester will also give us a run. Feel the same way especially as they are not playing in Europe

What would help us with Leicester is the media stories ramping up about Brendan to Arsenal. He is currently not refuting claims of his interest in the Arsenal Manager position and it will P*ss Leicester players and fans off. It could see some unrest at Leicester at a time they don't need.

I think City are out of it. Leicester are still in with a shout, and you can't rule them out yet, especially since some of those players won the league a few years ago.
Still, I feel pretty confident. We seem to have this supernatural will to win. If we can hold on for December with this crazy fixture list, I think we've got it. Boxing day will be interesting.

City won what 15 straight wins last season they could go 20 this season. But if we win our games it doesn´t matter what they do.

City have too good a squad to be ruled out, they also have the resources to go out in January and bring in top players. Leicester are doing really well, but if they get a few key injuries, they will struggle, there is also all the speculation around Rogers they have to deal with. The fact is, if we keep winning the games we should and have, we are in control.

That is correct. City now have 32 points from 45 max. They can only get to 101 now if they won every game. We are approaching it like we have to set a new record (101 or more) to win it.

We've still got to go to Leicester and City but out the two I still fear City more. Probably psychological after last season since they're not playing at the same level but they're clearly capable of over-turning the deficit.
Tough next 4 games for them including Leicester at home and a very winnable next 4 for us before Leicester away.

Our problem is fixture congestion and thin depth squad We would struggle, but we have more strength in depth, look tonight, we had Firmino & Salah out, we had Shaq & Origi who did a good job, if Leicester lost Vardy & Maddison, I don't think they have as good to replace them.

We have seen Origi doing well in the centre but not in Mane's position, Ox was treid there, but no where near. Same regarding VVD, Gomez is nowhere near.
