They could conceivably not win another game. Bit like us I suppose. A few teams potentially on the beach there mind which could work in their favour.Quote:

They'll probably get something at Liverpool today.
I think that the Burnley v Cardiff game will be the game that seals it for one or the other.Quote:

It's a doddle, wish we had the same access to striker talent they have .
How can you say that? They have been competitive against all teams, unlike us. Not taking away that is a difficult fixture list. But they can grab points against anyone. Can we? 🤔Quote:

Man City (A) L.
Everton (A) L.
Arsenal (H) W. Arsenal guaranteed fifth, season over. Burnley need a win.
If they get little from their next two home games, they're in trouble. They had a great run, winning 5 and drawing 3 in the PL to move from deep trouble to some safety. It's now 3 defeats on the trot, though all to be expected.
If my predictions come true (please, God), then a win over them at Turf Moor means we'd need 4 more points for safety.
Twist it all on its head and look at our fixtures.
If we can win at Brighton, Fulham and Burnley, they'll need 6 points. If we can somehow get a win at home against Palace, they'll need 9.
One team always plummets at this time of the season. Last year it was Swansea City, who looked doomed at Christmas but put on a great run at the start of 2018 to climb clear. A few dropped points later and they were hauled back into danger and ended up being relegated with barely a whimper.
No. Explain it to me. Is it like fantasy?Quote:

Then again, yesterday was encouraging. We just can’t afford to have another blip and will have to beat Palace and Fulham and pick up something from Burnley and Brighton. It’s pretty much that straightforward for us at this point.
Any chance we might get something from the chelsea gane at home?
If they get nothing from Leicester and wolves at home then massive pressure on them v us.
I think you could well be right :thumbup:Quote:

It's in the leaves.
Well, that’s odd then because they’ve actually managed just two more points than us all season, including a smash and grab win against us when we dominated the game.Quote:

They play both of those before we play next.Quote:

Just noticed that too, when we beat Chelsea we can go above them then....Quote:

Don't forget Newcastle - we are 7 points behind them with a game in hand...although they do have a nice run in.
Hope Leicester beat them, that then makes them need to beat Soton & Brighton to achieve safety before the inevitable goal fest that the Liverpool game will be.
