How the hell are our fixtures easy?City should piss all of those games even without a fit striker and most of them are at home. We have Stoke away which is never easy, a Boxing Day London derby against an in-form West Ham, away to over achieving Southampton, away to Spurs who are hitting form and will want revenge, and Newcastle who is our bogey side and just beat us. Our fixtures are very difficult and José has said as much in his past few press conferences. I'd MUCH rather have the easy fixtures now in this grueling period than during the run-in when small sides are fighting for their lives and others are fighting to get into the top 4. Wouldn't be entirely shocking to me at all if City have a 3-6 point gap above us after the next 5 matches.
