Sunderland's game today is so massive

Obviously the first thing is if Sunderland pick up something today, then that's just real bad. But it also has all sorts of other knock on effects.

If arsenal win, then that more or less puts to bed the top 4. So they'll have less to play for next week when we play them. If arsenal f**k up today, our game against them probably becomes much more must win.

And that also spills over into Man Utd. Their top 4 hopes could be buried by the time they play us, if arsenal pull their finger out today and then Leicester sort out Utd next weekend. We don't want them to still be chasing top 4 when they come to FCR.

Unless I'm over thinking it a bit.
