Huge ask to win at Burnley, Fulham and Brighton. I think we need something v ChelseaQuote:

Trying not to sound negative but i think 12 points from that list will be extremely unlikely.
my thoughts above... assuming we win half the 50/50s and beat chelsea then that gives us 9 points.Quote:

We’ve won 8/30 I can’t see us winning 4/8 where 3 of those wins would likely need to come from away gamesQuote:

Copying from another thread, but my prediction is 5 points (I hope I'm wrong!):
Chelsea (H) - 0
Man City (A) - 0
Burnley (A) - 0
Liverpool (H) - 0
Fulham (A) - 1
Palace (H) - 3
Man Utd (A) - 0
Brighton (A) - 1
We really need an unexpected point or two against the top 6 clubs, then an away win against Burnley/Fulham/Brighton (to get 9 or 10 points)... we shall see.
I said we'd get 11 pre-West Ham so that'll leave us on 36 points. If one of the ones is against Burnley that'l be enough to stay up imo
Palace at home worries me. They've been much better away from home where they can hit teams on the break with their pace. They've won 7 more points on the road than at Selhurst park and have the 6th best away record in the PLQuote:

If Southampton and burnley win and we get mullered by chelski then it psychologically it looks all over
We HAVE to go into the Burnley game with a chance of overtaking them
Id take 38 now if offered.
Burnley are home to Leicester and Wolves before we play next. I suspect they’ll be out of our reach by the time we kick off against Chelsea
Could well be the case, Leicester's talented kids might not be up for a scrap up in BurnleyQuote:

I agree. Far more unlikely results have happened in the Prem though, look at last Southampton last Saturday for a start.Quote:

Leicester H
Wolves H
Bournemouth A
Cardiff H
Chelsea A
Man City H
Everton A
Arsenal H
Next game is against Chelsea which is harder than it would have been playing the Chelsea team of a couple of weeks ago but we have to believe in ourselves at home.
