Who will do well? Who not so well? I'm interested to see how Man City do, they have 4 hard fixtures, I can see their 100% home record going but they need to get points at villa/newcastle if they're wanting to remain in the top 4

arsenal have very tough fixtures, I'd be surprised if Utd don't leapfrog them. chelsea and liverpool need to get a run of wins to try and close the ground.

and villa? not easy. man city's a big one to win, they beat us narrowly earlier in the season. after that 2 tough trips and the ever unpredictable spurs.

Yeah ours are going to be very interesting. We actually normally do very well against Villa but i would be very happy with a point at Villa Park as i would vs Newcastle. Both home games will be hard but im hoping for 7 points. The Liverpool game could be a cracker especially if they lose or draw their game in hand and we have the chance to go 5 or 6 points clear.

I will be over the moon if we can be in the top 6 coem the start of Jan as it will really help us get some top class players.

We've got to win all 4 to even have a slight chance of winning the league.

The Spurs game is a must win. If we don't get three points I'll be devastated and so, I'll be expecting us to win.

Pompey away should be a real toughy, but morale for Pompey's home games seems low at the moment. Still, a very talented and powerful squad so wouldn't be surprised if we lose, but I'm hoping for a draw or win.

Everton away is the toughest of the four. I'd be happy with a draw, the way Everton are playing at the moment.

West Ham at home should be a win, but bearing in mind last season, its not a given and we could well lose.

IMO, we could out from this with anything ranging from 2 points to 12!
