I think it's a dangerous game to predict as it has a few assumptions which make it a lot harder to call.
We have reasonable cover in most areas bar the striker but there are some players who we miss, I think without Lloris for a game would have an effect, Alli is becoming increasingly important and are we that happy with disrupting the pair at centre back? Just one of those events could turn an easy win to a draw or worse.
We also assume that other team's form will remain stable. By the time we play Watford they could be a strong top half team or beginning to lose momentum.
This is why 'one game at a time', though it's a terrible cliche, has a fair bit of truth to it.
West Brom is the next game and that should not be a loss but what we can predict is a game where our chances will be limited and we will have to find a way of breaking down a Pulis team. As much as I hate to mention Woolwich, they should have won their game or at least come out with a point and they didn't due to an own goal and failure to take their chances.
The unbeaten run has been great and will end at some point, I wouldn't expect it to happen at the Hawthorns but we need to avoid getting caught up in a quagmire, hopefully our 3 attacking midfielders will have the necessary guile...
I think we will just win the next game by the odd goal. The other 4 I'm not going to call!
