Obviously to finish in the top six and qualify for Europe.
We are right on their heels so a loss to Chelsea will certainly help.

I think West Ham are more concerned with finish Top 4.

You're only on their heels if you assume the game you have in hand over them is a win. Against Everton however isn't certain.

I could still see Chelsea making a run to a Europa place.

Think Everton will rest players against them as it's mid-week before the FA Cup Semis.

True, derbies do weird things though and LFC still have to get the job done to be closing that gap, being relocated to that late may place pressure on Liverpool if they desperately need the win by then.
Stoke away or home? Away wouldn't be easy, a fixture I'm worrying about in few weeks.
Can't see us winning, Rom will have fun.

Of course, it's always better to have points on the board than games in hand. But the opportunity is there. If we play well and win games we will be right in the mix for CL spots.
Hopefully we can end your title charge in the process at Anfield.

Way too far back IMO. They need a lot of teams to fall over.

Then United's at The Lane the following week
That was the Invincibles season too, interesting.

So what strikers are you targeting? Everyone bar Wenger can see that's a problem... and that includes Stevie Wonder too.

I think the game at Anfield is a big danger game for you. I think you can beat United at the Lane. They are gash and not great on the road.Hopefully we can end your European charge at Anfield

But I think your record at Anfield is not great and we have Sturridge and Coutinho back, all our best players back and up and about. I dont think you can beat us and in your position, you really need W's more than D's.
We should be going after Lukaku. I don't think he would be an unrealistic target. Berahino might be alright too.
Wenger knows it is a problem. But it is hard to get good strikers now. Also Arsenals player development is a joke IMO. All we bring through are tricky midfielders. Arsenal have no good young strikers in the squad. The best one to come through is Afobe who we sold instead of Sanogo.
Spurs are lucky someone like Kane came through.

I'd rate equally as difficult. Been a coon's age since we beat United at home. Although only the ref prevented that from occurring last season
We shall see, don't think we'll lose and would have to have the best or 2nd best away record in the division. Vertonghen back in training, might be touch and go.
That we did. Soldado would probably still be otherwise *shudder*
If you can't buy anyone from the absolute top shelf then you may need to shop from the next shelf down. Giroud and Walcott will take you nowhere imo, holding out until that star man lands in your lap may waste seasons in the process. Lukaku would be a good get, provided you can hold onto Ozil.
I guess the problem may lie in that both NL clubs won't be the only one's after a striker in the off season. Although you're probably targeting a first choice striker, we're probably going to be content with a back up striker.
