So here it is our full rundown, tough fixtures coming up, but if we manage to get maximum points from our home games, and nick some points from our away fixtures, we will be set in the second half of the season.
The next games are Bournemouth at home, Arsenal away, and West Ham at home.
I'd say that wins against Bournemouth and West Ham coupled with a draw at the Emirates would be more than enough.
I've seen Arsenal against West Ham and they aren't as frightening as they looked in the pre-season, our players can dominate them, especially Benteke against their defenders, he will be a nightmare for them.
Bournemouth looked very dull against Aston Villa and they shouldn't pose a problem, the sight of Anfield alone will make them nervous, a strong start against them would be enough to secure a win in my opinion.
I see the game against West Ham as tough as Arsenal away, they are a quick team, perfect suited for counter-attacking football, with the likes of Zarate, Sakho and Payet upfront, also at set-pieces they are a nightmare to deal with, they have in Ogbonna, Kouyate, Sakho and Tomkins some dangerous players in the air. Bilic seems to have inspired some confidence in their side, and we will find it hard against them, but in my opinion we will win this if we play some quick football upfront, their defenders are powerhouses but they are really slow, and we can profit from this, with Ibe, Coutinho and Firmino who are quick with the ball at their feet and coupled with a high pressing game we will have enough chances to score against them.
