Their form is bad (partly because their strikers have been so bad in the league) but I think they have a shot to win this year. I don't see liverpool cruising to victory. spine is much stronger with rice. They have palace and forest after the break to get some momentum going and then a huge game at liverpool.

Pure opinion but think they should find a way to add a striker this window even if they have to sell a couple players on the fringe like nketiah or smith-rowe. In a couple years with newcastles financial might once they can spend again and chelseas massive crop of youngsters they bought maturing plus city being city I think it will be much tougher for them, not sure they will have a longer window of opportunity than this season and next.
