Let's face it, unless we can be head and shoulders above competition like how City were last season, it will need a huge element of luck. We will need the luck, as I can't see us being that far ahead of competition. If three out of below four happens, then we should be in with a shout.
- Fabinho comfortably owning a midfield slot. It will mean that 3 out 4 players we brought in will have strengthened our starting eleven.
- Sturridge remaining fit for the season. It will mean that we will have options for the three attacking spots for the whole season.
- A bit of luck in the second half of the season with injuries and results.
- We strengthen again in January a weak spot in the first team that we find in the first half.
