A draw wouldn’t be a disaster at Woodison. They will be out to ruin our title run. But a win would probably put us out of reach of arsenal.

I just hope we come out of that game without any serious injuries. That lot will be after our players too I feel.

Anyway, how many more wins do we need for the title do you guys recon? I'd say about 12 wins and a draw with Arsenal should do it. That's 37 more points. Might do it with less tbh but I think this will be enough to be safe.

Apparently we need 36 points basis Arsenal winning all their games so as they drop points our requirement also reduces.

Everton: Gollum will believe he's on a mission from god to beat us for the first time ever.  I feel sorry for him.  :lookaround

If we lost one player to a major injury, which one do you guys feel would be detrimental to our chances of glory?

Salah would be difficult to replace, Diaz and Gakpo do chip in sometimes but replacing a game changer like Salah would be tough. Chiesa still trying to get his feet on the ground and Jota in/out treatment room.

However, I think VVD would be a bigger loss, it would leave a massive hole at the back, loss of leadership and stability. Konate nailed but Who would partner him Quansah? Gomez, whoes also in/out treatment room.

Even getting a CB on loan for half a season would've helped us somewhat because you never know.

If we lose 3 of our remaining games, Arsenal have to win every game to finish on equal points.

Re number of wins we need to get over the line - very difficult to say mate, a lot depends on Arsenal's and to a lesser extent Forest's form. This is the third season in a row Arsenal have been involved in a title race so they are pretty battle hardened, your prediction of 12 wins from 15 is probably not far off what we'll need.

VVD is the glue that holds our defence together - he's the best centre back I've seen in a red shirt since Hansen and will be painfully difficult to replace if he gets injured.

I also think Gravenberch would be a disaster injury - he's grown into the number 6 role and we don't have anyone good enough to replace him.
