4 points would be nice. As for the City game we will just have to take our medicine like everybody else. At least it is out of the way. My only worry is that they win the title with ten games to play and our rivals who still have to play them will have an easier ride once they lose their motivation

I wonder how Roy will set us up for the Leicester game. Vardy seems best when he gets behind the back four, so we might play a bit deeper. I imagine he would be happy with a point given their recent form. Defensively they are as bad as us, so if we can restrict them then we will have chances to score. They will look at the table and think this is a banked three points, but the way Wilf is playing we will have a chance against most teams. Swansea will be much more difficult than it might look on paper. They have a good record against us and we are struggling with injuries at the back. I still think we can go there and get a result, but we must ensure we don't lose as it might get them on a run. Arsenal will very much depend on which Arsenal turn up, as they can go from the sublime to the ridiculous. If they underestimate us (again) then we could fight out a result. Man City would require an immense amount of luck and some titanic bravery to get a point. West Ham almost did it, and Pep may rest some players, but I still think they'll win, but perhaps only by the odd goal this time.

I think if you offered me just a win against Swansea from that lot, I'd take it (let's hope Clement doesn't get sacked after the Everton game). If we could beat both Swansea and Leicester, that would be amazing, and a win plus a draw or two would also be a fine haul.

Doesn't help us having the Arsenal game moved back 2 days so less time to recover. Whatever side they put out though you'd expect them to beat us comfortably.

Based on the results of the last few games, Im going to say 5 points. A win and 2 draws. Looking at the table that would put us in a great position...

3 points against Swansea will be vital for our chances of survival and keeping them in the mix. If we can get 4 or 5 points from that lot I will be pretty happy. 6 or more would make me happy but 12 points would please.
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses. |

Four points from those four games, in my humble opinion.

Just been looking at Leicester's results this season and it makes pretty impressive reading. One defeat in the last eleven games and that was to Man.City and no defeats all season to any non "big 6" side but having said that they have drawn 5 games against bottom half sides so you never know. Swansea is the big one for us. Hopefully we will make up for last season's farce. So a hopeful 4 from me. Edited by pompeyeagle (14 Dec 2017 12.35pm) Edited by pompeyeagle (14 Dec 2017 12.38pm)

I'd be happy with 3, anything more is a bonus
