Win and we are 11 points clear - lose and we are 5 points clear
I think most, including Pep, will believe an 11-point gap is too much to claw back. It's not impossible by any stretch, but it needs us to lose four games while they win four games - so a four-game turnaround. While we could lose four, or more games from now until season's end, I believe City will also lose more games before the season's over. With a fit squad and confidence, I wouldn't put it past City to close the gap, but they are not that team anymore, at least not right now.
Do they go for it or play it safe? With their injuries, being away from home, and us in good form, I think they'll try to keep it tight and nick one on the break. I expect us to have a lot of possession in their half. We have to contain Harland, though. Gutted we lost Konate in the last few seconds of the Madrid game.
I think we win today by the odd goal, but I wouldn't be gutted with a draw, because we at least maintain our 8-point gap.
