What if we need to win it to win the league and stop Man City taking the title?
Back to this start of ours, looking at the fixtures, if we win the next two games (not a given, but certainly possible) we could be going into the game against Arsenal knowing a win will take us top for at least an hour or so.
Chelsea are the late game that day, and Spurs don't play until Sunday. Liverpool have Arsenal, Fulham, and Everton and would need to drop at least two points from those with us gaining three goals on them, or drop three points. Arsenal have Liverpool, Fulham and Man United and would need to drop at least two points for us to be able to overtake them with a win.
