So we’re currently on the longest unbeaten run in the Premier League than anyone else – seven games.

And then if you include the win over Wolves in the FA Cup at the weekend, that’s eight games without loss ahead of our trip to Bournemouth on Tuesday.

We owe the Cherries one after they beat us 4-3 at the Boleyn Ground back in August, which is actually the last time we lost at home. So much for that dodgy home form everyone goes on about.

Anyway, our away form is even better and we’ve got a huge chance of climbing in to fifth position and just a point of fourth placed Tottenham.
