Spur of the moment
Frederic Kanoute
In other words, do a Leicester on them.Bascially setup for a siege and try and catch them on the break.

Bournemouth are in great form and would take some of the chances villa have had
This game was almost too comfortable
Bournemouth also cannot defend, so as long as Kane has his shooting boots on, I'd think we'll win.
They don't give up though
To me their a better side than liverpoo for example at the moment
Any win will do against them, 1-0 is fine. Takes us to 61 and +30 GD. Sets us up nicely for Liverpool who will likely be playing a 1st leg of a Europa League quarter final which absolutely perfect.
Any win at this stage of the season is massive
Have a concern that Dier needs to stay card free to avoid a 2 game ban
I thought he would have got the 10th card already but both him and Alli have avoided it. The way the fixtures are falling for everyone else is in our favour too. I think Man Utd's replay against West Ham is likely to be that midweek between our Liverpool and Man U fixtures which is great. No other room for it given that 10 days time falls into the international period.
That would be good
Thought Alli was still on 8 cards too
<pedant>technically that match isn't on this weekend</pedant>
Can Saudi Sportswashing Machine do it? Benitez has to look at the matches in which Leicester have done badly and use that as a template. Bascially setup for a siege and try and catch them on the break.

Next weekend, going into the international break, before we start the run-in, could be absolutely vital.
Everton v Arsenal
Chelsea v West Ham
Crystal Palace v Leicester
Southampton v Liverpool
Emirates Marketing Project v Man United.
If we can secure 3pts next weekend we could open up some significant gaps on our a few of our rivals at just the right time
They've adjusted to the league well and have had some horrendous injuries too
Have a feeling Saudi Sportswashing Machine will get something against Leicester tomorrow.
All we can do is try to win and put pressure on Leicester. That's what we have done.
In Rafa I trust...
We need to win 6 out of our last 9 to guarantee champions league football. (Thats if West Ham win all of their remaining games)
We could afford to lose to Liverpool, Chelsea and Stoke (which imo are our hardest games left) and could also draw 1 or 2 as other teams will drop points.
I know everyone is hoping for the title but i think aiming for the champions league is the main goal and anything other than that is a bonus.
