We would be 4 behind with a defeat. What worries me is how easily we have surrended our goal difference. They are now one ahead. Let's hope 8 days off benefits us and we come out firing.
My mistake. Still, four points is not a good starting point going into the busy festive period. A defeat is only three points but the psychological damage it could do could be really bad. They would get confidence as well. Of course, this also works the other way; and the way Pellegrini sets his stall out, I expect us to go all out to try and win. Sometimes though, discretion is the better part of valour
