Possible Talking Points

• Starting to get a good run of form going - 4 wins on the bounce in the PL and a reat opportunity to make it 5 against Middlesbrough. Should continue to make ground on Top 4 if we do so

• Pogba was fantastic again and it seems other people are starting to recognise this now which should mean he won't get as much flak

• Zlatan didn't have a fantastic game but then suddenly turned it on and scored a nicely finished goal and put in a wonderful cross for...

• ...Mkhi's amazing goal. Offside schmoffside, it was an incredible goal and should go down as such

• What were your thoughts on the game?

• Who should start against Middlesbrough?
