The top four race certainly looks too close to call at the moment but at least our loss to Manchester City did not impact things too badly.
Indeed, Arsenal and Manchester United both lost whilst Chelsea could only draw at home to Burnley so it is clear that a win tonight helps keep us well on track.
We take on Brighton, then, but away from the pre-match build-up a rather interesting transfer report from Teamtalk has come about.
They’re saying plenty are interested in signing Toby Alderweireld and, if he goes to Manchester United, Eric Bailly is one man Mauricio Pochettino would consider going the other way.
This, then, would be a massive downgrade.
On form, Toby remains one of the best in the league despite his injury concerns whilst Bailly has had a poor season with United.
Pochettino might be able to get better out of him, but the jury is firmly out on the Ivorian and on the face of it it would be a real downgrade.
We should be keeping Toby, and then looking to add further quality if we can.
