Yep, I vote "injuries" as well.Injuries
Absolutely. #prioritiesTrying to compete on every front. If ever there was a year to completely disrespect the FA & League Cups, this was it. PL first, CL second, nothing else.
Injuries
Booooo....That’s not a rival.
Rurik should have asked "Who will be our strongest rival ... apart from Injuries and Covid" to avoid confusion.Injuries first thought as soon as i saw thread title.
Crazy it's not there in the options.

You're conspicuous by your absence on the Wolves pre match thread. I hope to God you are not thinking we could scrape a win ...It's probably still City, but I think Spurs and Chelsea have a chance this year.
We won't win it, though, that's for sure.
However, seemingly The League is a Dead Rubber FC are in with a strong shout of lifting the trophy

A quick look at the table and if games in hand are won etc. and we and Spurs draw then just 2 points could separate 8 teams. Insane. But also demonstrates why we have a great chance to win because if we get a few of the injured back (TAA, Milner, Keita, Becker, Thiago) and buy a new CB to add depth (Matip, Fabs, Phillips, Williams + new boy) in January, and maybe Gomez for the last couple of months of the season, then we can fulfill the Neville claim of "easily best team in the league" and go on to win it again. The CL is wide open this season too.It's going to be very tight. Anyone of us, City, Spurs and Chelsea are capable of winning the League this season in my view. I know this is a long shot but I'm not even discounting United either. It's not the standard season is it. Any side who puts a good run together / gets some luck with injuries etc, can mount a serious challenge. 80-85ish points could win it.
For us, we just need to hang in there and hope our rotten luck with injuries is over. Hopefully get a decent CB in January. On paper, we've a very favourable run of fixtures in April & May so I'm hoping we're top or thereabouts by then because I'd fancy us strongly if we are.
