What they're saying

"
Aston Villa and Liverpool away are the difficult ones in that run, with Chelsea the toughest team at home. If we successfully retain the Premier League trophy then we would lift it at the Emirates stadium, not at an away ground, yippee! The slippery period starts 31 October against Liverpool and continues across November and December with games against Manchester City and Manchester United, among other bigger boys.
