Chris Wood will be a champions league player…

I'm less confident about this one than last week funnily enough. I do believe in fixture form / horses for courses.

They've done well here in recent years.

Whoever gets the first goal will settle it IMO.

That was a different Leicester at least. All of Vardy at his peak with Barnes, Tielemans, Maddison behind him so they could counter or dominate possession. How Rogers got that 11 relegated is completely comical.

Today I think they'll be happy to sit on a 0-0 for as long as possible and then see what their subs like Mavididi and Buonanotte can do.

This is interesting one for Moyes. If it's 0-0 with 15 minutes left does he go all out for a win or take the strategic long term view it would still be 5-6 clear of 18th.

Need to be on 32/33 points going into April.

RS (away)
Arsenal (home)
Forest (away)
Man. City (home)
Chelsea (away)

What a dog of a month that is. Three points and -10 from those five games last season.

All the pressure is on Leicester and they know it. Lose and the gap widens and they’re sucked further into a relegation battle. Do well and you offset it. It gets in your head and you start to overthink things. With Everton, the pressure comes from winning the matches you’re expected to win, which isn’t always easy.

Looks like Brighton have folded. Gettin mullered by Forest 2-0. I detest Forest. Horrible fans

3-0

we haven’t beaten them at Goodson in nearly ten years by my maths.

Awful.

Liverpool have had a lot worse over the years, including seasons they actually won the entire thing.

That Forest result has rattled me. Maybe we really did get Spurs and Brighton at just the right time?

Points on the board either way.

Hate games we’re favourites to win, mainly because we very often don’t. First goal vital!

 

[CielosGrises]

Well, if Beto can't make a difference today, no real harm in selling him.

Hopefully he puts in a bustling performance and rattles then at least.

Be nice to not have to switch it off due to boredom in the first 20 mins

Yes often we need the underdog role - hope they haven't got too cocky yet.

Up the Toffees

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

First half like Spurs needed. These are abysmal at centre back, and keeper capable of nonsense. Commit to the attack.

 

[GoldenToffee]

Shag these!
