30-36 points
We'll finish on less than 32 points but stay up.
Warnock will leave after the United game.
Huddersfield, Burnley and Fulham will go down.
United will finish in the top four.
City will win the league, and the champions league.
All I believe is 33 points will keep you up. The gap in tnis league has gotten bigger

We'll need to beat Man Utd last game of season to stay up and we won't
I think I may have to come back to this and do it again with a clear head and without a hangover. Saying that, that may not be until the 9th of January. 😂 Even though we've only got 15 points in our first half of the season, I've got us to get 24 points in the 2nd half 😂, starting with a draw tomorrow.
Have a go!

Total 15 points on top of what we have now and not quite qood enough. Need to conjour up an additional 6 points from somewhere.
Possibly. I'm looking at the home only table which reads like this:
11 Leicester City 9 4 2 3 12 9 3 14
12 Wolverhampton Wanderers 10 4 2 4 12 13 -1 14
13 West Ham United 10 4 1 5 14 16 -2 13
14 Cardiff City 10 4 1 5 13 20 -7 13
15 Crystal Palace 9 2 3 4 5 8 -3 9
16 Fulham 9 2 3 4 11 19 -8 9
17 Southampton 9 1 5 3 10 14 -4 8
18 Newcastle United 10 2 1 7 7 15 -8 7
19 Burnley 9 2 1 6 10 20 -10 7
20 Huddersfield Town 10 1 2 7 4 14 -10 5
Our two away points have come at teams who have a worse home record than us. Newcastle don't score many goals at home, Southampton rarely win at home, Fulham are beatable. We could have had something at West Ham if our defence hadn't gone awol for 15 minutes while trips to Wolves and Leicester aren't all that scary.
7 of our remaining 10 away trips are to teams in the bottom half of the home table. 4 of our 9 home games are against teams in the bottom half of the away table. That makes interesting reading. Of our 19 fixtures so far, 11 have been against teams in the top half of the away or home table. Leicester and West Ham's record away is on a par with their home form, Everton, Brighton and Bournemouth have been poor away but good at home.

Gosh what a good post and challenge.
The toughest calculations to be made is March onwards when a number of factors kick in which effect the set up and motivation of these teams. At the moment it's full steam ahead to safety or top 4 , come March the process changes, as :
Injuries and tiredness kick in .
January transfers either fail or succeed.
Teams become complacent as there season is safe .
Champions League , Europa Cup , FA / Old League Cups take precdent .
All of which may or may not effect our chances.
Be I can't predict only prey .
