If Arsenal win, they are 1 point in front with a game in hand and even if Chelsea and Spurs win, we're still a minum 2 points in front, although they will still have a game in hand. There's still plenty of playing time to go so the most I see of this 1 game is it being a test, a test of what we can do against probably the best passing team in the league. We've stopped all the rest of the title contenders from scoring with 11 men, let's see if we can do the same with Arsenal on their own turf.
If we win however, that is a totally different matter and we'll see how the other contenders react knowing that we are only going to get better.
I agree with this sentiment. every game from now on in is a three pointer. However I do thing that the vast open spaces at
the Emirates are better suited to us and our play, than the tiny grounds like Blackpool, Stoke , Everton etc. ( well they all seem tiny and Stokes certainly is).
The key is not to let united get too far ahead. They will soon start dropping points and I think Liverpool might nail them in
the Cup on the weekend.
