This ame and our game against Arsenal define our season for me. We win them both and I think we'll get top4. Realistically, Tottenham are the 5th best side in the league and we are the 6th (some would argue Everton have as good a side as we do; I'd take a Gk, 2 fullbacks, a CB, a DM, and Lukaku from them + they have a better bench).
If we win against the sides around us it gives us a bit of room to drop points against the smaller sides; draws dont afford us that same luxury hence the drop outside the top4. I expect us to imporve against the smaller sides in the 2nd half of the season and if that holds, results against other top4 candidates become vital.
That said, I'm going for a score draw.
