Even if we get beat in this one we will still be in 5th spot, barring a heavy defeat and others winning by a large margin. So not a total disaster but as has been mentioned, the league will become very compressed, so getting a point or three will help us maintain what gap there is. A win would be excellent and see us leapfrog Utd into 4th spot. As we go through the season and get our long term injured back we may reap the benefits of having a large squad to get us through a long hard season.
