100% stacked in their favour, not ours, we've got Allan and Doucoure out, so it's a 3-0 win to us! lolVardy missing will be massive for us.
But, we struggle when odds are stacked in our favour, and they'll be having someone - probably Iheanacho - desperate to impress. Vardy being out does not make it easier for us.
On the face of it he seems to have turned things around...right behind us (though we have 3 games in hand).
However, if you look at their fixtures from now till end of Feb they have some really tough games.
Having looked at the games til the end of feb, the only team that has a marginally better run than us is United. They have Europe and still play arsenal, Southampton, us and Chelsea (plus West Ham in the cup).I put this in the 'Arteta' thread about arsenal.
In fact, the current top 4 in City, United, Leicester and West Ham actually have a favourable run of games until end of Feb.
Ours are a bit more tricky and if we can pick up 4 wins and a draw (13pts) we'll be right up there.

If we can get a draw tonight + beat newcastle and leeds we'll be sat on 39pts after 20 games.
We'd all take that.
United have arsenal, Southampton, us and Chelsea. Plus Europe.Weve got United, Liverpool and Leicester as well as Leeds, Newcastle and Fulham.
Id have to look at the fixtures again but that doesnt look like a good run to me. As Ancelotti said, by the end of the newcastle game we'll have more of an idea of where we are and where were going
Yeah, every chance we lose tonight and contrive to keep Steve Bruce on life support at the weekend.Loving the confidence here in advance of two home games but what has bitter experience taught us when opportunity presents?
