Chelsea v Arsenal (13:30 GMT)
Chelsea are struggling to win at home and I could not believe they surrendered a 2-0 half-time lead against Southampton on Wednesday.
Benitez has won just one of six domestic home games as interim Chelsea boss
For me, they cannot win the title now and the situation at Stamford Bridge is even more interesting now Pep Guardiola has agreed to take charge of Bayern Munich.
It is no good for the Blues fans to keep booing Rafael Benitez during home matches - yes, do that at the final whistle if you want to, but not during the game.
The Blues went to the Emirates Stadium and won in September but their home form makes this a cast-iron draw for me. I think it will be a very tight game.
Arsenal are six points off the top four, albeit with a game in hand, but I would still back them to finish in the Champions League positions. It will be interesting to see how their results compare with Tottenham in the next few weeks.
Lawro's prediction: 1-1
Be optimistic my friend. We have a shiny awesome stadium, a banker as manager, Theo just signed a new deal, Chakma is out on loan and Wilshere doesnt look likely to put in a transfer request in the next 2-3 years. The future is bright.. the future is red and white! VE VILL VIN BPL 2020-21! :scarf:
Your point is nonsense yes, but mine isn't. It clearly shows how far we've fallen behind when the relegation places are closer to us than the league leaders. The CL is a cup competition and Man City had a ridiculously hard group, we'd have been knocked out as well had we been in their group.
It's an argument that'll make more sense when we've all played the same amount of games although even then I don't really think it means anything revelatory, 21 points behind or 12 points behind, it'd still be far too much.
Citeh deserve no sympathy or understanding for their CL group, not least because of how much they have spent to improve their squad but it's their fault for not doing well enough in the Europa League last season and the same may well occur next season (in fact with dropping out completely from Europe it might be even worse next time).
True but Man U have only played one game more than us and even if we added three points now we'd be 18 points behind then and 18 points ahead of the relegation zone.
The CL though doesn't at this stage reflect the quality of a side as one can have an easyish group (like us) and another team can get a much tougher group with quality teams like City, 2 of the teams in their group have got a decent chance of winning the whole thing.
Yes they've spent more money, but looking at it from a purely football side (ie quality of the team/squad) they are a better outfit, they've won more than us in recent years, wont he league last year and are above us this year as well. and of course beat us last week.
