Look, our defence is solid as a rock, just 5 conceded in 13 games as Reg said. Last season we had conceded 17 by now.
We just need to keep pace and stay in touch with Man City which we are doing without playing brilliantly.
We will know where we stand in the title race come start of January. If we are more than 10 point's adrift of Guardiolas men, then we will have no chance. If we are less than five points adrift we will have a good chance of running it to the wire. Imo.
Something pretty disasterous would have to happen to our form for us to be 10 points behind City by the beginning of January though saying that we do have a derby game next week which won't be easy (especially off the back of a trip to Paris). Everton are in decent form as well.
Plus in Dec we have Man Utd at home (who we havent beaten for years) wolves away, Arsenal at Home, all tough games.
I'm just saying if we drop points due to the fixture pile up, and don't play well. Not much room for error.
Yup competing with a power house like City isn't easy especially the way they are playing this season. We can forget about catching their goal difference.
We just have to keep on going and winning for me the key is how far either go in the champions league.
